Keep Hanging on to those past banners but, be very aware when you are watching these games you are officially witnessing the end of an era in NY.
With the loss of this series and the firing of Torre, the yanks will have lost any connection to their dominance in the 90's and will be left with an over priced aging team desperately seeking a new identity.
I love yankees fans who live in the past. The history and tradition of the franchise is absolutely something to be proud of and celebrate but, when it becomes this "consolation prize" that makes the failures of today justifiable and less important is quite pathetic and makes me laugh.
With that Said.... GO SOX!!
What the newbie is trying to say is, The Yankees Suck.
Doc.
Just like a Red SUX fan , long winded and thread jacking and says nothing worthwhile in the end. I guess when you need 68 years to have something to say, you learn to draw it out for all it is worth. DD I expect it form you, but this "newbie" is about as useless as the corn in the Angels poop.
First of you tard it was 86 years not 68. If you are going to try to make a point at least get your facts straight.
Just like a typical skanks fan; when they have nothing intelligent to reply with resort to personal attacks that even a pre-schooler would find immature.
Poop in corn? is that the best you've got? Grow up, you tool.
Have a good one talking about the good ole days while you are watching the sox and tribe!
You know what pal besides being a thread jacker you just a downright asshole. No go fuck yourself, and find a place where you may be appreciated, like assholes anonymous. This was a friendly bet between two mostly respected members(well Cigarstone for sure, me maybe not as much...lol), you then insert yourseff were you were neither invited or welcome, and start trouble. You grow up tool!!!!-
Good luck on become a long-term member here you are off to a grand start.
Seavita,
This was not an attempt to thread jack, read the thread, I had made a post about a potential future wager and let it be known that I was a sox fan. My next posting to which you were so offended was a direct response to Hudson who posted the following.
"Went double or nuthin on my bet with cigars with a buddy.
Go Yanks. Can you feel the envy. Every fan wishes their team was the Yankees.
Red Sox fans get back to us after another couple dozen championships, mmkay"
NO thread jacking intended, in fact I viewed it as banter between 2 fans. I did not see the harm in it. I realize that I am a newbie and am on a very short leash but, I did not see this as a thread jack and my 2nd reply was merely defending myself after being the subject of a very juvenile remark.
Thats the beauty of being a fan you get to debate with other teams fans. I see it as harmless debate.
There was no thread jack intended and as a sign of my goodwill, If you read the WHOLE thread and think that I was out of order and expalin to me what proper board etiquite would have been, Get me your address and I will send you a few sticks as reparations. I do not come to this board with any ill intent just the sharing of information and possibly some nice cigars. If I did anything out of line I apologize and we can chaulk it up to inexperience.
I do apologize if I offended any one or acted out of line.
