I am a die hard Yankees fan i grew up in newyork... I cant wait for the Yankees vs. Marlins game... I also cant stand most Boston fans they are mean and sore losers. I am so glad Yankees won! The curse lives on for the Red Sox and Cubs!! LETS GO YANKEES!!!! 
I hope you come down with something they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for. Have another drink and drive yourself home... I hope there's ice on all the roads.. And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt then when your head goes through the windshield.. I hope the next girl that you kiss has something terribly contagious on her lips... the only thing that comforts me is knowing that you'll never be happy Good to Know That if I Ever Need Attention All I Have to Do is Die The Truth is you could Slit my Throat but with my one last gasping breath id apologize for bleeding on your shirt |

Yeah the days of Wade Boggs & Roger Clemens are long gone. I was hoping they would make it just because they were the under dogs coming into it...
Hope the Yankees get their a****s handed to them.....

I imagine the Fox people weren't too thrilled when the good stories in the Sox and Cubs left early and they were stuck with the almost unwatchable combo of Yankees-Marlins. In the LCS, I didn't want to miss a pitch. Now I don't care if I see a pitch in the World Series. R/A

Geez/Jeez (which ever it is).......you fair weather Baseball fans! Besides, the Marlins are the underdog. I am pulling for them because I like their spunk. But really, Are Red Sox fans able to give up the ghost *yet* on the curse. Seems like the moaning about the curse has become a part of them.   Well, as the saying goes, "Wait till next year."

Red Sox fan here... ...and I am not complaining about a curse... just complaining that we should have won that last game! It is just plain bad luck - no curse necessary. I do agree some fans are out of control - but if it were YOUR team who got this far yet again only to be shut out...you'd be pretty annoyed too!

I think any fan that talks crap about another team is ridiculous. I love the Yankees. I don't hate any other team. My FI is a Red Sox fan. He doesn't hate the Yankees. I think the whole Yankees Suck thing is crazy when they're not even playing NY. I've heard it, seen it and just don't get it. You won't be seeing Red Sox suck T-shirts when the Yanks are playing the white sox. In fact I've been to many sox/yankee games at Yankee Stadium with FI and neither of us have ever seen Red Sox suck shirts. It was only in this series that they popped up and I hope they die as soon as they appeared. I say celebrate what you love about your team, not slam another team you don't like.

Thank you I couldnt agree more JeniBear...I would have no problem with Red Sox, but since they hate the Yankees so much it annoys the crap out of you. I respect the Red Sox soooo much because those games...Each team got a run for their money. They both worked their asses off to the last minute. But Red Sox fans will always be sore losers. I mean after they lost they were fighting in the streets and in bars how stupid.
I hope you come down with something they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for. |

boston residents don't need an excuse to fight in the bars and streets. part of their heritage. "...and I am not complaining about a curse... just complaining that we should have won that last game! It is just plain bad luck - no curse necessary. I do agree some fans are out of control - but if it were YOUR team who got this far yet again only to be shut out...you'd be pretty annoyed too!" -see that is the funny thing about the curses. they always seem like bad luck. until about year 50.

---------------- Hah! I almost posted the exact same thing; but, in reference to her "Best Wishes" I felt in poor taste. Best Wishes again Dancingirl! Lovely ring - surprised your even looking at the games! But, "Wait till next year." Again, the Yankees are seasoned veterns at winning the big ones. Maybe the Sox took something with them for next season. ....that said, the Marlins just seem to always have their glass half full - or are just to into it to worry about winning.

XvvOrlyBearvvX - Do I ever know about the rioting. I am a reporter in Boston and had to cover them for the past two weeks. Insane and very upsetting. I watched a dozen 20-somethings jump on the hood of an 18-year-old's kid's one-year-old car and cave in the roof. Then they kicked off the rear-view mirrors and kicked in the headlights. And there's more.... They overturned at least one other car. Some poor cabbies were stuck in the mess and were being rocked back and forth like rocking horses. And there were the chicks who flashed their boobs. Although if you ask me there was nothing to flash. Calling them "button-breasted" is being kind. I was dumbfounded - and still am - by that behavior.

As Rick Reilly said: "Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Bill Gates to hit the lottery, or rooting for Brad Pitt to get the girl." The Yankees fans are certainly legion...but the fans of pretty much every other team can't stand them.

I totally agree with you that Boston fans can get and HAVE gotten way out of hand. It happens almost in every city though when there is a big loss. It's ridiculous. People need to just relax a little bit and not take it THAT seriously. I live in the town next door to the Univ. of NH where the campus has had riots for any loss there is at their school - and they did when the Red Sox lost too. Totally stupid. It's usually those young college kids though. I just think Red Sox fans...as well as most rival fans think bad of the Yankees cause we just can't beat them! It's frustrating, and we choose to vent about it. Get over it - because the Yankees are a very good team, and teams all over the US will complain about being beat by them! Trust me - you won't see me flipping cars or setting trash cans on fire - but to say bad things about the Yankees is just tradition because we always come so close yet so far. And besides, I don't want to damage my pretty new diamond ring! HAHAHHA!  ~*~ Dancin Girl ~*~ |

"As Rick Reilly said: "Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Bill Gates to hit the lottery, or rooting for Brad Pitt to get the girl." So the lesson is not to care about a team that can play the game and win? I don't root for the Yankees because it's popular or I think they can win, I root for the Yankees because I grew up in New York going to Yankee stadium every summer with my parents and meeting players like Mel Hall and Don Mattingly at Macy's when they did autograph signings.  It would be easier for me to root for the Sox since I live in Red Sox Nation. But I am loyal. I root for the Yankees because the Yankees are a part of my childhood much like Brachs jelly beans are a part of my childhood and I still stuff my face with them every Easter And I root for the Yankees because they are a link to my hometown. It wasn't always easy to root for the Yankees. They didn't win a pennant my entire childhood (I was born in 1976 and was too young to remember 1978!). That didn't make me love them any less. But come 1996 I was amazed. And nothing can beat when they clinched the World Series on my 21st birthday October 21, 1997. I'll never forget that night

Sorry, I stopped watching the games. Yes, I will poke my head into the newspaper to reminisce every once in a while. For the payroll the yankees have they should win. Cardinals and Yankees use to be my teams from when I was old enough to choose a favorite team. The price tags are getting out of hand on what we pay the players , and what they get for the concessions and season tickets are all so outrageous. My boxes and boxes of baseball cards sit in storage. I do look at them every so often and remember players like Bob Gibson, Sandy Kolfax, Don Drysdale that pitched full games with no relief pitchers and it was common to see them in the upper teens for strike outs. Ive seen the greats that got paid $25,000 a year , which now adays it would convert to about $100,000 a year to play ball. The seats were affordable . It was a game back then to enjoy. Its up to us if we want to payroll them, yes its our money. I know most of you are not my age and do not understand this. One more thing, its just a game.

---------------- Not at all, I was just explaining why it seems as if everyone else (those pesky non-Yankee fans) seem to hate the Yankees more than their due. Take me, for example. I don't really have a home team to root for, but I do enjoy baseball. I'd like nothing more than for the Yanks to go home losers. There are people who root for the favorite, I guess. And there are those of us who generally root for the underdog. I fall in to category 2. Where's the fun in rooting for the team full of superstars? Unless they are YOUR team is the favorite team, which in this case they are, I think you'll find that most people prefer to think that some David can come along and beat your Goliath. I like Joe Torre...I hope Steinbrenner does something stupid like fire Joe so he can go to another team and turn them around. I'd enjoy that.

I was in law school the year my school won the national championship in basketball. The place went nuts--overturned cars, broken windows, fires, fights in the street, followed by deployment of hundreds of riot police all over the neighborhood. And of course, some of the students tried to mix it up with the cops and got beaten, an event that led to a local uproar, protests, and a civil rights lawsuit. All over a basketball game. And the same thing basically happened when the Lakers won their first championship a few years ago--kids were setting fires in the street and running around them in circles like some kind of druidic ritual. I've always been a big sports fan but you have to keep things in perspective. None of is worth people getting hurt over.

When I was growing up my Dad would take my brother to see the Red Sox, and it wasn't the price of a weekend vacation. I miss the sense of sports being sports, not big business. I'm also at the stage where I can't see paying alot of money to listen to people scream, berate each other and spill beer on my head. I'm a Sox fan, but feel equally disgusted with people who use any excuse to get out of control, and people who have to slam the other guy. (Yeah that means you, Yankee fans).

Umm... again maybe I *am* from Pleasantville. Anyone remember the "Cardiac Pack"? When we won games, it became a ritual that everyone would decend upon the center of the school. All very peaceful. Everyone felt a need to be part of the spirit. I also credit the school. Knowing we were going to congregate anyway, they had activities already set up. But, some people did take it an out of control level. They were quickly reprimanded by their peers. Sometimes I wonder about "group mentality".

My husband and I are diehard New Yorkers although we have been in the south for the last 9 years. My husband (a native of the Bronx) has not taken his original Yankees cap off for what seems like forever. He thinks if he keeps it on, the Yankees will win. It worked last time. Go YANKEES!!!!!

More on the subject of rowdy fans:
Last night, West Virginia knocked off undefeated #3 ranked Virginia Tech. The result:
"At least a dozen of about 90 fires set early Thursday were described as "sizable" by emergency officials. One car was damaged, the street was littered with broken glass, bottle rockets and firecrackers.
One student was charged with battery after punching an officer, police said. About 20 other people were charged with setting fires, disorderly conduct and public intoxication. At one point, about 5,000 students gathered on the main road. Inside the stadium, police used pepper spray on fans who tried to tear down the goal posts after the Mountaineers' victory."
