The 103rd World Series

3-1 now. So Jesus is hittable????

 

[Vercingetorix]

I've been following the Sox since I was nine. However, I think a lot of the casual fans started favoring them after their miraculous run in '04.

Why the Sox? If you're from the south, why not Cincinnati or Atlanta?

EDIT: Or St. Louis? When I was growing up, the west half of Tennessee rooted for the Cardinals and the east half was split between Braves and Reds fans.

 

[XtennesseeX]

Can somebody explain to me why there are so many bandwaggoning southern Red Sox fans?

Same way with celebrities. They all like Boston.

Beckett is Tebow, huh? Now it all makes sense. No wonder everybody picked the Socks.

(I like your disdain for the X. Mind if I steal it?)

 

[Fine Vol]

Why would you put a taco under your shirt?

Cincodemiyo?:birgits_giggle:

And who spells Socks with an X? Those tards.

Sweet. Its the Navajo Indian that I have seen on Outside the lines 4982737589 times.

And he K's. Way to rep your people.

There was so many Braves fans on my baseball team I had to pick someone else. After my uncle took me to Fenway Park, it was over.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Fenway's a dump. It's Orange Bowl of baseball stadiums -- lots of history, a storied venue, but objectively, a dump. Nothing like buying the most expensive tickets in basball to sit behind a pole.

Boston and Chicago are laughing.

 

[vols kick balls]

Balls

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Manny's up now.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

And they walk him.

 

[Fine Vol]

Why do you walk Manny to put one of the best RBI hitters on the team up?

 

[vols kick balls]

So you can do that. 4-1 Red Socks.

 

[Fine Vol]

So you can do that. 4-1 Red Socks.

Thanks Britany:hi:

 

[Vercingetorix]

Watching Ramirez gaulmph over for that routine fly ball just emphasizes how stupid the Indians' third-base coach was for not sending Kenny Lofton.

 

[Fine Vol]

Yea that was a big mistake

 

[JTrainDavis]

Vercingetorix, why the unabashed hatred and venom towards all things Boston?

 

[volfanbill]

walk the bases loaded for varitek in an important game... i don't care if the real Jesus was batting, I wouldn't load the bases for varitek in an important game.
forget game 1 being over, the series might already be over.... short series, yessiree

Vercingetorix, why the unabashed hatred and venom towards all things Boston?

Oh, it's certainly not all things Boston -- Boston's a great city and I've had a very good time there a few times. It's just that the three Super Bowl wins and a WS title have A) made real Boston sports fans absolutely impossible to be around (worse than Yankees or Mets fans, which I wouldn't have thought possible), and B) resulted in a revolting number of front-running bandwaggoners. Just a few years ago, I regarded the Sox as unequivocally the good guys in the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. Now, at least in my mind, they might as well be the same team.

A) Walking the bases loaded is almost always a stupid move. You basically add 50 points to the next guy's batting average, since now you HAVE to throw strikes. While they were doing it, my wife said, "Look! They're doing your favorite thing!"

B) Calling the series over is premature. Schilling is by no means invincible, and all the Rockies need is a split.

wow. i don't think it's possible to say it any better than that.
