and i met this person thats a Red Sox fan... and he went down to New York for game 6... and guess what the yankees were giving to everyone that came.... they gave World Series rally towels... like they already made it to the World Series.... jeez... give me a break
There are three Yankee fans: The stuck-up snobby fans who think the Yankees are the best team ever (like above), the bandwagon fan, and the true fan. The true fans are a minority.
Boston fans are true fans. They never gave up hope, even when they wre down 3 games in ALCS. Go Boston!
cant argue that...if any sport fan deserve a championship its the boston faithful...unfortuntly the tigers are still a ways away and the giants blew it in 02
Not to get totally off topic but I remember seeing when the Red Sox won game 4 I saw the hack Jimmy Fallon storming on to the field and kissing Drew Barrymore. I didn't think much of it even though it was pretty annoying, until I saw this letter to the Sports guy.
SOMEBODY STOP FALLON!
I feel like the woman in "Jaws" watching the shark patrol a dinner-filled water unable to find the words to scream. As the entire Red Sox Nation was celebrating with tears of joy and thoughts of our fathers and grandfathers, there was Jimmy Fallon running around the field with Drew Barrymore mere seconds after the last out, whooping it up like they personally dismatled the Evil Empire and beyond. WORSE, they were on the field filming the new ending of their movie. They should be ashamed of themselves. And every single person in the chain of command who gave them permission to do so should write a letter of apology in blood to every Red Sox fan on the planet.
No, even that wouldn't be enough. They spoiled the one moment I never thought I would live to see by taking a big steamer in the church of The We Finally Won Moment. I will never complain about Ben Affleck again. What Jimmy Fallon did is worse. And unforgivable. I will not see this movie. I will not ever support a single project that he is involved with. I cannot find the words to do justice for what he has done to disrespect our cherished moment. Please support me in hoping this movie, and his career, are flushed down the toilet much like what he's done to our Moment.

I just hope anybody associated with this disgusting stunt will get a "Steve Buscemi in Fargo" because they damn well deserve it.

well... theres some really good free agents out there
i think Beltran will stay with the Astros... i dont care where he goes.. as long as its not the Yankees
im not sure about Beltre
I think Veritek will stay... and i think both Martinez and Lowe stay.... or at leat one of them will stay
theres many more... what do u think
man... i can't believe some Yankees fans... this one guy was saying... every time before each game, Schilling was in the dug out putting red dye on his sock to make it look like he was bleeding.... wow... give me a break...
and the Red Sox open up against the Yankees at Fenway... that means the Yankees will be there to watch them recieve the WS rings...
Ditto. Sorry, Strangelove, I usually agree with you, but even though I was disappointed with the Card's play in the series (I had hoped they would win a game or two), even I was too busy being happy for the few Red Sox players that I actually admire and respect to give a crap about (or even notice, honestly) Fallon and Barrymore's shameless movie marketing shenanigans...
DanZeke--you think Lowe will stay? If he does, do you think that he will have finally earned the respect that (I think) he deserves? That guy went from the doghouse to the outhouse to the penthouse this year. Man, what a ride for him. I am happy for him--and hopefully the demonstration of his true ability in the clutch will afford him the luxury of getting some of those motherf*ckers off his back next year.
As for Varitek, I wish he'd go to Seattle, but they have little chance of wooing someone like him at the present time. Installing Hargrove as manager does lend some credibility, and it does a bit to restore my faith as well--It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I never liked the idea of a relatively inexperienced NL bench coach taking the reins as manager of an AL team--I always felt that pitching coach Bryan Price could have done just as well as Melvin--what was it that they said about Melvin? In hiring him, they were looking for the "Anti-Piniella". Well, much to my dismay, that's just what they got. So, ends an era of ineptitude. Yay!
Anyway... congrats to (most of) the Boston Red Sox.
I haven't posted on this thread for a little while but I just came back to say the Red Socks impressed the hell out of me this year (playoffs only) and congratulations to Red Socks fans. Don't get me wrong though, I still hate your team.
i think its more that pitsburg is the most underrated team in the nfl but i wont get into that here.. the offseason moves with the free agents are gonna prove very interesting for the sox
