Red Sox Or Yankee?

[Old Moparz]

On the first day of school a first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Red Sox fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Red Sox fans.

Wanting to impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, "Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?"

"Because I'm not a Red Sox fan," she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, "Well, if you are not a Red Sox fan, then who are you a fan of?"

"I am a Yankee fan, and proud of it," Janie replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. "Janie, why pray tell are you a Yankee fan?"

"Because my mom is a Yankee fan, and my dad is Yankee fan, so I'm a Yankee fan too!"

"Well," said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, "that is no reason for you to be a Yankee fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your mom were an idiot and your dad were a moron, what would you be then?"

"Then," Janie smiled, "I'd be a Red Sox fan."

No problem with the Yankees this year, the Red Sox's lead over them is less than it was back in '77.

As a I recall, a certian team won the world series after an 80+ year drought as a wildcard!!  and beat the division winner in one of the most spectular comebacks in pro sports playoff history.

the boys won again lat night against the dumb Red Sox!!

[dkn1997]

the boys won again lat night against the dumb Red Sox!!

Derek Fing Jeter.  The Sox can win all they want, they will never, and I mean never, have anyone on thier team like Jeter.  Forget all of his clutch play on the field.  you can actually show him to your kids and say "look up to him" 

except for the day he signed his big contract, do you ever hear about his salary?  has anyone on the face of the earth ever heard him complain about anything?  Puts his head down, shuts up, and goes to work.  I wish my subordinates at work had that attitude.

Ever hear of David Ortiz?

Ever hear anything negative about him? As for big contract, David took the hometown discount. He doesn't need the big money to stay in Boston.

Jeter isn't even the best shortstop on his own team. Giving him a golden glove last year was an absolute joke.

Don't get me wrong. He's seems like a great person and a great role model but if he played anywhere other than NY,he wouldn't get anywhere near the hype he gets and he certainly wouldn't have the a golden glove last year.

[dkn1997]

Sorry guy, but you cannot put ortiz on the same plane as Jeter.  You can never put any full time DH above a position player.  He does not contribute to the team on both sides of the ball.  Also does not have as many chances to screw up on both sides of the ball either.

also, I have heard big papi say some dumb stuff.  it was about 2 or 3 years ago he was openign his mouth about something.  sour grapes abotu mvp balloting or something.  Did Jeter deserve that gold glove?  probably not.  but while not year in and year out the greatest fielder, he always makes that huge play in that huge spot.  he's not making errors with 2 outs, bottom 9 in the division series....ever.  he's coming out of nowhere and getting an assist on a play at the plate to save a 1 run lead late inthe game against the A's, that's what he's doing....

Also, Jeter has been doing it for 11 years.  Ortiz has not been the force he is now for that long.  Big guys like him usually don't have long prolific careers (manny, I know, I know, but I said usually)  When it's over for him, it will be over quick, he won't be who he is now at 37 or 38.  Jeter will be.  When it's all said and done, lets see who's on top. 

you can say Jeter would not get the "hype" if he did not play in NY.  but it's also the hardest place to succeed with all of that attention, big double edged sword.  look at all of the great veteran careers or promising young careers that have crashed and burned here:  Mo Vaugh, Robby Alomar, Javier Vasquez, Carl Pavano.  Look at some of the current players that had great success other places but don't quite cut it here now:  your buddy Johnny Damon, Carlos Beltran.... Not exactly 40 year old guys and clearly not playing like the players we thought we were getting.

I will throw in that Ortiz does not have it easy, the Boston media is a bunch of no good, bottom feeding, low class bums who pile on sports players like a Narc at a biker ralley. 

but seriousely, you can say that ortiz is as clutch as anyone, we all know he is, but he's not a better player or role model than Jeter.  He's a one dimentional player and Jeter is almost a 5 tool player. fields (not the best, but very good) runs, hits, steals, throws, ....best instincts on the bases I have ever seen.  I have seen him get tagged out at a base maybe 3 or 4 times total in 11 years.  .and he leads the league in 2 out hitting with runners in scoring position.  they guy in 2nd place in that category hits 20 points lower in the same situations....


so put that in your pipe and smoke it!!   

[Old Moparz]

Doesn't quite look that way, should be a good post season. 

Unless you're a Met fan.

Actually, I was referring to the division.

[70charger_boy]

Yankee's!!!  and, if Ortiz was offered crazy money to go to the Yankee's he would go.

If Jeter was offered crazy money to go to the Sox, he wouldn't

[dkn1997]

gotta agree there. 


and.... Division does not mean anything in baseball.  no real disadvantage to being the wild card, home field just does not mean as much in baseball.  Football is the only sport where it pays to put the pedal to the metal during the season to get the bye week.

I am just excited to finally not be the huge favorite in the playoffs and to have some exciting young guys on the team.
speaking of young guys, gotta give credit to Dustin Pedroya, that guy is a player!!

I agree with that, to a point. Most teams do play better at home than on the road. The rule of thumb is play .500 on the road and kick butt at home. The Sox play much better at home. Plus, in addition to the home field advantage, they also had the choice of when they started the series.

Nice tune-up start by Pettite the other day! 

I'll be at Fenway for the games this week, baby!

[70charger_boy]

I looked up disappointment in the dictionary and this is what came up

Red Sox pitcher Dice-K (Daisuke Matsuzaka)

[nh_mopar_fan]

Get used to this phrase every single time any team in baseballgoes up 3-0 in a 7 game series.....

"Only one team in the history of baseball has lost a 7 game series after being up 3 games to none......"

ENJOY.

[Old Moparz]

Well, I suppose anything is possible, meaning who can win whether home field is an advantage or not, but the Red Sox aren't due to be World Series winners for another.......what, 82 years or so? 

Being up 3-0 & losing is no big deal. I'd take that along with the long list of championships compared to winning it once every lifetime.   

Hey Darryl, how about a cold one for a wager? If the Yankees make it to the World Series, you buy me a beer, & if the Red Sox make it to the World Series, I buy you a beer?

If neither make it, then we just go thirsty & be annoyed.

Goodbye Yankees, and goodbye Torre!

The NY fans can keep repeating "26 rings" to make themselves feel better.

Then again, that's like the tired old fat chick flashing a pic from years ago when she was hot.

Uh, yeah, but you're in this condition now, right?

[70charger_boy]

What are you saying about Boston media? my roommate was from New York and I understand that New York media is no better!! Look what they did to A-rod !! so Jeter doesn't have it any better than Ortiz does!! except that New Yorkers LOVE him! and he has earned their love and respect !
And I agree with you that there is NO comparing a DH with a position player!! especially because Ortiz gets to SIT DOWN thru 1/2 the game and Jeter is PLAYING the WHOLE GAME!! so where is the comparison??

[Old Moparz]

Last night's Indian-Sox game was interesting. I liked how Manny Ramirez tried to hit David Ortiz in the nuts with the ball when he was taking off from 2nd base. He only missed by a few inches. That's what I call good ball placement, the Sox better keep him. 

[nh_mopar_fan]

I hadn't noticed exactly where he was hit by the ball.

Then again, my eyes weren't fixated on that particular spot on Ortiz.

When I saw the play, all it looked like was that Ortiz got hit near the top of the leg. He just stopped dead after being hit & knew he was out. When they showed the replay, you could see where he got hit. He did make an effort to jump up & out of the way, but any effort resembling gymnastics by Ortiz would be like.........well.......

Of all people to give up on their team?   

I take it you don't have any faith in a comeback this time?   


Hey, I have a question for you. How difficult would it be to get Red Sox/Yankee tickets to a game at Fenway? There aren't too many old stadiums left, & a game at Fenway would be cool, but a Red Sox/Yankee game would be even better I think.

I'm bi-polar when it comes to the Red Sox. If they win tomorrow, I'll have them in the world series. 

As for NY at Fenway, not difficult, how much do you want to pay? The prices are silly for those games, sometimes as much as 10X face value.

But, I have season tickets. If you need just 2, I can help you out next spring. I never go to NY games, too many a-holes in the crowd.

Sounds great, & thanks, I'll keep it in mind. I thought I'd take my 8 year old daughter, but if the fans are that out of control, I doubt she'll be going along with me. I know I also have to get tickets to at least one game at Yankee Stadium since next year is the last year for it & I promised her. They're taking deposits on line for season tickets, & partial season tickets, but I'm not sure how much I'll spend yet.

My neighbor had gotten free tickets at work in August & had an extra one & invited me along. It was nice to go back since it was years since I went. Last time I did, Don Mattingly was still playing. It's just too far & so damn expensive anymore, but the new stadium is getting a Metro-North train station & I can get that train near my house. I think it's less than a 90 minute ride so that will be great.

WOW since my boyfriend has been gone I guess my head has been in the sand! he was the die hard yankee fan! you mean they are gonna TEAR DOWN? yankee standium?? "the house that RUTH BUILT" at least that is what he called it!! that is such a cool place with SO MUCH history! He is SO lucky he is gone or he would be SO sad!! WOW!!   

[nh_mopar_fan]

Bob,

The crowd isn't out of control with the possible exception of the bleachers and I won't sit out there. I have first base box seats.

I don't like the crowd because of the obnoxious NY fans...

Yeah, the stadium will be demolished after next season & they are actually building the new one right next to the existing stadium. The steel framing was going up when I was there in August. It's sad in a way, there is a lot of history there just like all the other old parks that are gone. Aside from Yankee Stadium, Fenway Park in Boston, & Wrigley Field in Chicago are the only really old ones left. One of the alternatives was even worse than tearing it down, Steinbrenner was planning to move the Yankees to New Jersey.

Darryl, I think the crowd in any bleacher at any park will be full of beer swigging psychos, mental patients, & all kinds of wackoloons. 

First base seats sound great. I sat there once about 10 or 12 rows back in NY & loved it.   

[mopar-or-no-car]

One of the alternatives was even worse than tearing it down, Steinbrenner was planning to move the Yankees to New Jersey.   

WOW the NEW JERSEY Yankees!!     OMG you are right I guess building a new stadium IS a MUCH BETTER ALTERNATIVE     I guess I kind of remember now my boyfriend said the locker room wasn't air conditioned and there was a whole of other non modern things with the current yankee stadium!! Oh well I guess history must go! too bad it is a real cool looking stadium!! hopefully the new one will pay homage to the old one!!

Looks like nh_mopar_fan is going to be getting a cold one on me. 

I'll figure out something next season when we work out the ticket thing. Maybe meet up when I'm in the area.

Rockies in 6 by the way. 

[nh_mopar_fan]

 


We got home from the ballpark at 2am.

I just got up.       

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Old Moparz]

I'm not sure if I like the Rockies at all, but I know as a Yankee fan I'm supposed to root for them since they're playing the Red Sox.   

I wiill have to say though, the run that the Rockies had at the end of the season was impressive with just one loss in 22 games. I guess we'll see if they still have any momentum or if all those days off killed it.

Who's pitching tonight?

Beckett vs Francis.
