Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by Cerberus on Oct 18th, 2003, 11:15am Who cares.......meaning, who wants to see the skankees play the marlins who couldn't fill their stadium all year until the cubs came for the playoffs. The two teams that really deserved to be in it aren't so lets move on with football and hockey. Next, Ramon |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by Charlie on Oct 18th, 2003, 5:06pm I wanted a Cubs-Sox series and it's not going to be as exciting. I read that Fox isn't selling as much commercial spots since the Cubs land Sox lost. It would have been fun damn it. Since I don't care for sunbelt baseball, I'll pick NY since they have 26 wins under their over-strected belts. Boring though. Charlie |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by Cerberus on Oct 18th, 2003, 6:32pm If one MUST give reasons..... Pitching.................advantage Yankees Clutch Hitting........advantage Yankees Home field.............advantage Yankees Defense................advantage Yankees Overall record........advantage Marlins (best record in baseball since may) And lastly the normally useless stat: The Marlins have never lost a post season series. 'course they've been to the WS Once before this. ::) There ya have it: good luck betting personally you'll get better odds on the bears making the superbowl. ;D Ramon |

I consider New England my second home sometimes. It was during that childhood, I discovered the history and breathtaking beauty of the Red Sox. Been a Beantown lover ever since. I'm a southerner, but my heart is aching for the folks in New England STILL. Maybe it'll end soon. I'm with you, Ree. |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by Woobie on Oct 19th, 2003, 8:56pm Baseball is NOT a game it is a way of life, and the fact that George Steinbrenner can essentially buy a world series by stacking his team with the highest payroll in all of baseball makes me ill 26 times. The whitesox had a really good team bloom late and choke in the last two weeks of the regular season and ruin a legitimate chance for an all CHICAGO world series....again sick, The RedSox who battled all season just to make the playoffs and against all tradition and history actually get a viable shot as well, only to lose to the stacked yanks.......sick! They(Redsox) really really DESERVED (especially in the eyes of tradition and history)to be in the world series. They battled the hardest all season for it. The CUBS even with all of thier WS history also deserved to be in it. Their defense was outstanding until the "foul ball" incident (don't even get me started) and in game seven had to lose because their payroll wouldn't allow them to actively aquire a 5th starter in thier beat up pitching rotation. THEY, also DESERVED to be in it. Take nothing away from Torre's managing skills I'll be the first to admit it, but, having a personally rich owner to buy you a team to win with is again SICKENING............c'mon 26 world championships and not including this one 7 in 9 yrs. the disparity between the yankees and the rest of the league is huge. Its not an arguable point..............the yankees have essentially bought every world series since Steinbrenner. As for the marlins.......................10,000 fans a game in 2002 in a stadium that holds about 70K where were the fans then? Suddenly they become a force, and make a run at it. The CUBS come to florida in the playoffs and now there are reportedly 60K+ marlins fans? ARE YOU KIDDING?! the 50K+ new fans are heartbroken CUBS fans that don't want to see the yankees win yet ANOTHER WS. I am as big a baseball fan as they come. I LOVE the game and know just about all there is to know regarding strategy having played, coached and watched. But excuse me if I am just a little upset that the yankees are in it again because Steinbrenner can buy the most TV airtime. Ramon |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by kim on Oct 19th, 2003, 9:12pm Ramon.........if that's what makes ya choke in the stands........more power to ya.

That whole sick diatribe is just why no one beats em. ThAT IS WHAT IS BORING..........and old.

Cathy: I suppose we need a thread to explain what all the vitriol means. Baseball is actually the most civilized of our major sports. It’s a game of very strict rules that everyone seems to put up with. Nobody really has "killed the ump." When you think about it, it's amazing. I think that’s why we like it. It’s dependable. Baseball fans are for the most part, the best behaved. Baseball fans will will give you a second chance. It's easier to deal with them than almost any other fans. Perhaps it’s that patience is such a big part of it. Maybe all our screaming during the playoffs and series makes up for our being so “dull” during the season. No matter what Jonny, Kim and Brian say, it sounds hostile but it ain’t so....well it’s always okay to hate the Yankees. Even Yankee fans do until the series. Go Yanks. Charlie |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by Cerberus on Oct 20th, 2003, 12:06pm Kim, not the first time I've been called an A**hole for my way of thinkin'.......Won't be the last I'm sure. Its my opinion and will remain that way until the Yankees produce a team of all new players and STILL make the WS. There is no sport in Dominating a league every year and its bad for MLB. J.Jiambi said it himself on national TV, "Everybody wanted a Cubs/Sox WS" and had to restate his original thought to keep from getting steinbrenner mad. I do not disagree that the Yankees have an outstanding ball club, it is top notch and any player should be honored to play for it. All I ever was trying to say was, when are the Yanks going to make a game out of it again, instead of total domination? I'd never expect a Yankees fan to get bored with them winning it every year. And if my attitude sucks then so be it. I felt the same when Dallas went to the superbowl so many times. diversity is the spice of life that makes the season worthwhile. And if I'm an a**hole for believing that then I guess I'm one in a HUGE group of em. Ramon |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by JDH on Oct 20th, 2003, 12:19pm I guess I'm an a$$hole too Ramon. The Yankees are like the little rich kid who gets EVERYTHING he wants...money is no object. Stienbrenner and his free spending is bad for baseball...unless you're a player. The league needs some sort of salary cap so everyone has a chance to win instead of the Yankees year after year. Go Fish, JIm |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by Cerberus on Oct 20th, 2003, 12:25pm Jim, That was my WHOLE point, everyones chances in MLB are NOT equal. And unless you are a Yankees fan, they should be. Ramon |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by stuey on Oct 21st, 2003, 4:00pm I don't much care one way or the other about the Yankees since they will be paid win or lose, but the "fuck New York" from Brian I could have done without since I live here and was born, raised and work here everyday. No matter what someone feels about New York it is THE metropolis of this country and this planet bar none and unfortunately open to attacks by terrorists and even it's so called citizens. Was I offended by that? Yes, I'm sure he won't care but yes I was. |

Title: Re: The World Series ????????????????? Post by Charlie on Oct 21st, 2003, 6:25pm I have to pass along what Mark Shields wrote in his column the other day: "Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Microsoft." :o Yeah, I wish Boston could do it now and then but since my October fantasy didn't come to pass, I have to root for a team that has some real fans. Baseball in Florida is hard to take. They can't count votes either. Don't worry though, Steinbrenner will do his best to tear apart the team. He likes that shit. We're in danger of another Bronx Zoo as Torre's contract is up. If Steinbrenner wants to live, he better play ball with the fans this time. Charlie |
