Aaargh. Not the Yankees again. :-(

Post #121,585 by Another Scott 10/17/03 12:40:59 AM Reply	Aaargh. Not the Yankees again. :-( It was a very close game that could have gone either way. Both teams made mistakes. But the Sox really should have won it. :-( If only the first baseman had thrown the ball to Pedro rather than falling. If only Nixon hadn't misjudged that fly ball. If only Little had taken Pedro out a little earlier - of course Little is already getting all the blame.... Aargh. :-( [link\|http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=globe&page=mlb/scores/final/finallog.aspx?GAMEID=8861\|Game Log]. Cheers, Scott.

I'm sort of glad it's the Yankees - I didn't want to pick between my beloved Sox (though I didn't much like this team of BHFs) and the scrappy, play-for-fun Marlins. Now I can really get behind the Marlins. -drl

As a kid I was a big Tigers fan (McClain, Lolich, McAuliffe, Cash, Kaline, Horton, Freehan, Northrup, Trammel, Brinkman, Rodriguez, Stanley). Then in college I became a Yankees fan (Catfish, Goose, Reggie, Nettles, Lou, Joe, etc.). My favorite uncle is a HUGE BoSox fan and I'd have probably pulled for them were it not for their ass-wipe prima dona on the mound. Anybody who could pull for a team with that shit-ass Pedro on it cannot suffer enough. bcnu, Mikem The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. - Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"

Pedro was/(is?) my favorite pitcher - but that shit he pulled on Saturday was sort of an "original sin", which was expiated yesterday. He's not the same pitcher he was in the late 90s. Doesn't have the same pop on the ball. He'll have to adjust with more "stuff" to survive. I love the guy because he's a twig with the heart of a grizzly bear. Clemens, now - I've never forgiven him for going mercenary. -drl

I hope the Yankees sweep. I hope the Yankees win the next 10 world series by sweeping each one. I hope the low-salary teams get killed every season. That'll drive ratings down even further; it'll kill revenue. Then maybe those clowns running the show will figure out that it needs to be fixed. Baseball needs a salary cap and revenue sharing; just like the NFL. They haven't yet figured out that in order for there to be a league, there have to be other teams. Even those 'damn Yankees' need teams to play against. If they don't fix baseball, there won't be any other teams. Baseball will become even more boring if it's just the Yankees vs. [some billionaire-bought-one-time-team] every year. When it's fixed, I'll become a fan again, and I would like to. Until then, fuck 'em; go Yankees and any other $200 million+ payroll teams; drive the sport into the toilet. Brian Bronson
