bloocrab · 07-09-2003, 12:28 AM

Special Delivery Jones wasn't that bad either...

Go Varitek!!!

I think that was KLMulder who reached out and caught that 'shoulda been' double in right field.

Yankeees...

BigBo · 07-09-2003, 04:58 AM

He gets my vote the way he's been playing lately!

Raven · 07-09-2003, 05:01 AM

WHY ....is he a fisherman too.????

jugstah · 07-09-2003, 06:37 AM

Varitek aint no Charlie Moore, that's fer sure.

beachwalker · 07-09-2003, 06:44 AM

Thank God Varitek isn't Charlie Moore.

If ever there has been a more ridiculously stupid character it is he.

Does anyone recall the thread about ignorance around then sea, darwinism, etc. ?

Charlie will be one of the first to go.

What is it about loud, ignorant, Southie types who just don't know when to shut the &#%$ up ?

Sox are a good team this year. I am a NY fan but am hoping they can hold it together. They deserve it.

For all the yankee haters out there. I was conemplating printing a new bumper sticker:

"Winning Sucks"

jaywalker33 · 07-09-2003, 08:10 AM

BW, Another New Yorker on Nantucket, what a surprise! It is an absolute disgrace that Varitek wasn't picked, he is having as good a year as Posada. Charlie Moore is annoying but that's why he's funny. He's a die-hard Boston fan so I can see why it would get under your skin. Don't want to turn this into a Sox/Yanks thread but what about these comments from Steinbrenner and Clemens from the past few days? Some very ignorant comments coming from 2 very arrogant people.

JohnR · 07-09-2003, 08:15 AM

I need to find another Yankees Suck bumer sticker, or as we would say Bumpah Stickah - GO NOMAH

CSK · 07-09-2003, 08:17 AM

You can vote a bunch of times on MLB.com

Hey John, have you seen the Bumba stickas that say "RED Sox, another ruined SUMMAH

jugstah · 07-09-2003, 08:24 AM

LONG LIVE THE RED SOX!

beachwalker · 07-09-2003, 08:27 AM

Have to agree,

I am actually from Connecticut (outside New Haven) and we were a family slpit down the middle between the Sox and the Yanks.
Became a Yankee fan in Fall of '69 because I was 5 and wasn't into the Mets.

So you Sox fans should have some respect for me. I grew up having a lot of respect for you.......

Clemens and Steinbrenner. They are ALMOST as painful to listen to as Charlie Moore.

Yanks fans have a bad rep. It is founded upon years of poor behavior. I like to believe I don't stoop to that level.

Sox are a great team this year and the Yanks don't suck either.
I would actually be relieved if they could make it to the series and win one. I have a lot of friends here who are diehards and don't like to see them unhappy with the Sox and the Yankees.

I have lived in Nantucket for a long time. I AM NOT some migrating, transient tourist.

Please make a note of this.

jaywalker33 · 07-09-2003, 08:55 AM

I know you've lived there for many years, I was just making the point that there are a ton of New Yorkers on the island. I'd want to leave NY too though if I lived there. Can't really say much about the Yanks because they are 3 games up and you have to give them credit for dominating the last 2 games of the series this weekend. I just get worked up when Clemens opens his mouth about anything. Can't wait for the next series, should be great after all the $hit-talking going on.

beachwalker · 07-09-2003, 09:02 AM

It ok Jay,

I only kicked and screamed and cried for a few minutes.

You are right about the New Yawkahs out here but:

Jersey, Connecticut (

), PA, and every other state and country you could imagine shows there poseur faces here.
Vineyard has the same issues.

I'll say it:

Go Sox !

I would always rather the division comes down to the two of us than anyone else. Let's just hope we stay ahead of Oakland for 2nd place.

Varitek gets a vote from me but, Pedro ?

Man, hitting BOTH Jeter and Soriano in the same game in the same place. Oh the injustice of it all

I love baseball almost as much as fishing for Bass.........

Jimbo · 07-09-2003, 09:11 AM

Already voted for Jason. Always a Sox fan (basically because my dad was) as a kid growing up on on L.I. and to date in N.J., but not a Yankee hater per se. I was in heaven while the Trenton Thunder was a Sox affiliate, but they moved out and in came the Yanks. Went to a game the other night and the rumors were true. Bernie Williams acted like a complete d**k to the crowd. Some inspiration for the kids and fans. Jeter was top a top notch gentleman the whole time. Don't know where I'm going with this. Go Sox! Bring the franchise back to Trenton.

jaywalker33 · 07-09-2003, 09:28 AM

No way he hit Soriano intentionally, he got hit swinging at a 1-2 pitch and it was actually a foul ball and he didn't get awarded first. As for Jeter, even though it was also a 1-2 pitch, that one was a little more suspect. We'll just see what happens in the next series.

beachwalker · 07-09-2003, 09:32 AM

Jay,

Thank you. Truths are truths.

It was a great game, win or lose.......

Next series should be a hot one. Let's hope we are both still battling for first with no one else in sight !

KLMulder · 07-09-2003, 09:55 AM

Good post I hope the race stays close all season. I never give S**T to a sox fan util they start it so dont give me a hard time about the Yanks. I dont like to see roger on tv and personaly I think both he and Pedro thro at anyone they think are a threat. Looking forward to the next series.
