    Wow, high $$$$ team outperformed and outclassed out of the playoffs. I guess these threads are all you have left????

    More pathetic than my Reds team.
  • softparadesoftparade Posts: 9,281 ✭✭✭✭✭
    How about the high $$$$ Red Sox landing in 3rd place? OUT of the race in mid August. You would think their "fans" would be talking about that. Nope, they are infatuated with the Yankees. Yankees, Yankees, Yankees. Never mind the crumbling Red Sox .... THAT is pathetic.

    The Red Sox have several talented young pitchers and althoug they imploded this year their future in the next several years seems bright. We may even pick up some players from the Yankees fire sale in the next several months. As an American League east fan I would have liked to see the Yankee's win, however I will now route for the Tigers as they seem to be the Amercan Leagues best chance to win the series.

    And they used to be in the AL East as well JoJo.
    I also agree that your Sox are in much better shape than the Yanks although I think finally, if the Jays can get one more starter, it will be their division to lose next year.

    You think no one was laughing when 120 million bought a third place finish in the division? No, Red Sox fans are not the only ones laughing. BUT, no one talks more about payroll(which is quite hypocritical considering the 120mill that did nothing for Sox fans) than Red Sox fans.

    yankee 'fans' only care about the past world series' they've won - they don't care about the team. they only care about potentially bragging about the next one - they have no sentimental attachment to the team.

    Tell me, which fans do you think are more passionate? Red sox or yankees? DUH red sox fans, without question.

    It's 26-6. There is history before 1918, especially for us coin collectors! image

    There is a lame T-Shirt out there that Yankee Fans have been buying recently (showing 26 Yanks WS trophies against 6 Red Sox WS trophies) to sooth the pain of the 2004 choke. Probably one of the best selling Yankee T-shirts now.

    Sorry Yankee fans, you have to live with that pain forever -- no team will top that choke in your lifetime!! image

    Absolutely. Couldn't have said this better myself.


    It's lame at this point for Yankee fans to try and flip the payroll argument onto another team, say the Sox for example. No team has failed to the extent that the Yankees have failed, when you factor in dollars spent versus championships won, over the last 6 years. No team. The Yankees are setting a standard for doing the least, with the most - and no one even comes close.

    Hey I understand how much money the Yankees spend. But for you to sit there up on your hipity high horse CT, all while the Red Sox became the most expensive third place team in HISTORY. Thats right, do I need to put that in BOLD letters for ya Jer????? And, let me point out that AGAIN these so called "passionate" Red Sox fans can do nothing more then talk Yankee shop. You would figure this thread would spur them on a bit to talk about ummmmm ..... the RED SOX ??? image

    haha the yankees will win it next year and the next five years?

    hmm the orioles just signed a massive TV contract, the red sox will be better, and the blue jays will be spending more money next year as well.

    Don't count them chickies just yet.

    Only when the arguement suites, payroll is thrown at the Yankees success...even though how many times does it need to be proven that money doesnt buy you a championship.

    I feel bad for the Yankees, the Tigers pitched very well, and thats not fair. Why doesn't George just buy a WS trophy? I'm sure the league wouldn't mind. image

    Softparade,

    You asked me in another thread what I thought about the AL East situation. I feel as though I offered a well-thought and informative response in regard to the situations in both NY and Boston.

    Absolutely. No matter what side of the fence you sit on a Sox/Yanks series in October always makes for great baseball. At this point I'm pulling for the Tigers. Detroit has good fans and they've sat through some rough baseball in recent times.
