It never ceases to amaze me, the sheer and utter bitter fans of boston! We own the bragging rights for the next year so you can suck it up, shut up, and take this shit because Yankee fans were quick to dish it when the ball was in their court. And since we're waving good by to things, here are some chants that Yankee fans can now wave good bye too: "1918" "Who's your daddy?" You can also kiss your Babe Ruth posters and curse talk goodbye! Shit was funny when you weren't on the receiving end, huh? I actually should thank the Yankees though. Without their massive choke job, none of this would have been possible! I am currently wearing about six pitchers of beer. I have never shared so many man-hugs in my life with random strangers. I think I lost about 15 pounds in the aftermath celebration at my favorite bar. About 300 of us packed in. It was everything I dreamed it would be and more. So much to say, not time to say it, but I will leave you with this: THE 2004 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS: YOUR BOSTON RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

__________________________________________________ [Oct 28,2004 10:27am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] the reason everyone's so excited to a frenzy is because, if you grew up around Boston, and if your family is more than one generation in for this area, you know how much people have clung to the red sox and prayed they would win. my grandfather lived and died without this team winning, and he used to listen to the games ALL the time. He would sit in his car and just listen to the game...for hours...so much I get headaches now if I even hear the radio announcements for a little bit. People stood behind this team, hoping they would make a comback for something like 86 years. And nothing ever happened. The failure went on for so long, and it was strange cause no matter how far the Sox came and no matter how well they played, that was the end of the winning streak when it came to the world series...for nearly 9 decades. So for anyone that has that level of family, emotional, or pride investment, this is the big payoff. I'm not a baseball fan, but not only did I watch the game, I am actually excited that this team won. There's guys and gals who are on their death beds that are crying right now because the old expression, "Sure I'll do it... When the red sox win the world series!" is now, well, time to pay up. And yeah, sports and things aren't the biggest issue the world does have to face. But for right now, I say let these dudes have their moment in the sun...it's not easy to win a world series, especially when you've fucked it up that many times. You feel like a failure when you lose that much, but to overcome that gives people hope...hope that if I fuck up 86 times, I can still make things right. Hope that clarifies it more :D |

________________________________ [Oct 28,2004 2:15pm - JayTUS ""] are you serious dude? not to be a dick, but incase you forgot -- it's just a baseball game. You tell me one other thing that has united this region like this? ONE THING? Absolutely nothing! And there's nothing that ever will. This is the most amazing thing that has happened to Boston, EVER. That simple baseball game means more to so many people then pretty much life itself. If that makes these people, myself included, pathetic or whatever you want to say, then fine, I just hope that some day you can feel the level of happiness the rest of us are feeling right now. I've had full blown conversations with 20 complete strangers today simply because I was wearing a Red Sox hat. 20 complete strangers that I'll probably never see again, but for a few good minutes, we sat there in full blown conversations like we had been best friends for years, and I am talking people with ages ranging from 12-70. I sat there and chatted with a dude old enough to be my grandfather for a good 10 minutes just because he was going to buy a Curt Schilling shirt and I said he was a good man. So again, tell me anything in our lifetime that has done something like this. There's nothing. NOTHING. |
___________________________________ [Oct 28,2004 2:39pm - dreadkill ""] i'm not going to argue with anyone on this issue. today i am celebrating. if you love the red sox, enjoy it and don't argue with anyone. if you hate baseball, then i hope something you do care about gives you a reason for celebration soon. and if you are a yankees fan, you already have 26 reasons to be happy, so shut up and give us this one victory. |

Hey Jerkoff, First of all, dont let the sox winning this make you feel like you can call me retard or idiot. the red sox are the 'idiots', and I am very very real, in the sense that I can find you and beat your faggot mouth shut. Second, Manny is the ONLY player I listed, that may still be playing for Boston next year.....Schilling isnt gonna start, I can almost guarentee that, and yes within the next 2 weeks is when the Sox make their descisions....they may not tell anybody....but that dosent mean it dosent happen. So....shh...yer still a loser. Just cuz the sox are winners, dosent make you one. |

It would have been fun to have a huge parade and rally because it's not like we waited 86 years for it or anything. But hey, great job rioting when the Sox clinched the Wild Card last year, faggots. |
____________________________________ [Oct 28,2004 6:05pm - BornSoVile ""] whatever. All I can say is that I've waited for this for as long as I can remember. Yankee fans are spoiled. Watch Steinberner have a 300 million dollar pay roll next year, way to buy your championships you fucking yuppie. At least the Red Sox did the old fashion American way, EARNING it with the blood, sweat and tears of 25 players. The whole world was against us and thought the sox couldn't do this but they did. 4 Generations of Red Sox fans in my family. You can't tell me that this doesn't effect the culture of the area. What's up with all you Yankee fans who live outside of NYC? If you grew up in Boston it's not like you'd be favoring Worcester in high school football. Stick with your fucking identity, that's the other thing that sucks about these Yankee fans, they're all transplanted to NYC because they want to be the best or whatever while taking the easy way out. Ya'll have never suffered like Red Sox fans, ya'll have no heart and no sense of loyality. Fuck you all. oh and by the way NOMAR SUCKS!!!!! |
_________________________________ [Oct 28,2004 6:16pm - tbone_r ""] a) sweet job making threats over a disagreement on the red sox via the internet to a kid who's probably 5-10 years younger than you. isn't that something only hardcore kids do? b) let's say the sox do make their decisions within 2 weeks and 'they may not tell anybody'....then that means that we still wont see in 2 weeks, will we? c) lets say curt's surgery is more serious than expected and he can't pitch next year, will he still be gone from the team? d) i find it very unlikely that the sox get rid of manny. e) i have no idea what they're gonna do w/ cabrera, pedro or d-lowe, and i wouldnt be surprised if those 3 were gone. However, i don't think that they're gonna strip the whole team like the marlins did just because they won one world series. Boston is a baseball city that needs a competitive lineup to compete with the Yankees and the fans wouldn't stand for it. |

In terms of the steinberner "buying" the championships, it's more directed to a long history of everything going in the yankees favor. it was almost like there was a conspracy against the sox to win. take for instance all the bogus calls that have gone against us. there are way to many to list! my favorite one was in 96 ALCS vs. the Orioles (yeah i know it wasn't the sox), who ever hit a "homerun" for the yankees and it was interferred with by a 14 year old kid. that cost the orioles the series and gave the yanks a ring subsequently. I will never forget the hate I felt the next morning when they put the kid on good morning america and make a fucking hero out of him, that's fucking bullshit. it was shit like that, that didn't happen this year. sure manny was safe at 3rd in game 3 but for the most part the sox won pretty much fair and square with no questionable calls to interfer and give us a whole winter to say "what if". (I feel the patriots are ALOT like this now) I strongly feel that the FOX network favors the yankees to win because they can generate alot more money than the red sox. it's sickening to listen to these fucks constantly degrade everything the sox do, question every fucking play, giving broad speculation on the future of the sox roster suggesting that pedro and everyone is going to ny. tim mccarver starts off his carreer with the cardinals, gets cut by the sox and then plays for the yanks, you think he isn't a little biased? joe the fuck buck works as the broadcaster for the cardinals too. i fucking hate fox. I dunno Kalopsia, some of your points didn't make sense either, I don't know what to talk about. closing notes on baseball... It's time we get a salary cap. Cardinals' fans suck, they were praying the whole time for strikeouts and homeruns, I wish we could play the yankees year round. Ask any Red Sox fan and we'll tell you it was better to beat the yankees than the cardinals. I am not here trying to offend powerkok or kalopsia, I think you guys have both been good sports about this shit and pretty stand up the entire time, I admire that. Yankee fans are good people for the most part cause they're just as passionate as sox fans. Some of my best sports talk friends are yankee fans. This is by far the greatest rivarly in all of sports and I'm proud to be apart of it. I can't wait for next year! |

You were both laughing when it was 0-3 weren't you? You both yucked it up and said curse this and 1918 that over the years I am sure too. Unfortunately, you are guilty by association. We Sox fans have put up with Yankee fans bullshit for YEARS. You have two choices: bitch about it and hear more or shut up and take it. As a Red Sox fan over the years, I learned to shut up and take it and it didn't happen as much. Was I the disrespectful type that bitched and moaned every time the Yankees bought another superstar? Absolutely not, but guess what, guilty by association. Next year is a new season, and if you want your bragging rights back, you better pray Georgy Porgy does something big this offseason, like signing Beltran, Vidro, Pavano, Milton, Radke and trading for Randy Johnson... |

You probably don't deserve it so don't take it personally if Sox fans take advantage of their right and privaledge to talk shit and bitchsmack Yankee fans as they see fit. Again, you guys got to have the whooping stick for a long time. Our turn to play with it. Nothing personal! |
