My beloved boys lost 6-4 to the hated Yankees tonight. Jesse Crain was great after the all star break, but he fucked everything up in the top of the 7th.

The Yankees are not a team, but a tool of Steinbrenner, even though he is dead.

Why must everything be so "official" with you, PF? Why cant it just be the "I'm licking my wounds because Jose's onlyTM mentee's team kicked the living crap out of my guys" thread? Wink

Unlike our hometown Reds, the Twins did get some runs in their opener. And some hits.

@jose:

@Lakeside77: Halladay's no hitter was awesome. He also pitched a perfect game earlier this year!

@PF: I'm sorry for your loss. (not really so much, I'm just being nice).
By the way, 6-4 was last night's score. Tonight's was 5-2. Wink

@Bart: Please keep this a friendly rivalry. The Yankees are not only a team, they are the most successful franchise in professional sports. Wink

Everyone loves to hate them but everyone wants to be them.

Go Yankees!

I couldn't agree more.

I always find it interesting that Yankees fans cheer the Yankees while fans of other teams spend as much time bashing the Yankees as they do cheering their own teams.

Now behave yourselves and cheer on your teams.

Go Yankees! Very Happy

I thought the Yankees fought the Confederates in the Civil War, but that's been over for 145 years. Confused

@Ima: If those damned Angels had more than one pitcher, I would have a team to cheer.
If only they were in that amateur league with the wacky batting pitchers...
Better yet, we could have that wacky batting Halladay character on the staff.

Well, I guess we'll have to take 2 over there, and come back here for game 5.

Agreed.

Sorry if I sound hostile. I don't mean to be.

It's just a long simmering dislike of the Yankees since the late 70's.

ButI will speak no more of them.

Pah!! Most successful my bushy tail. They're small-fry.
Manchester United FC are worth half a billion dollars more at 1.8 billion.

Still. 1.3 billion isn't bad for a Rounders team.

Tried following the Brewers, couldn't wait until the season was done...they went right in the crapper this year.

Maybe vuvuzelas would help next year?

By successful, I didn't mean monetary worth.

Well, it's not looking good for my boys, they're down 4-0 in the 5th. Ahh... what the hell, it was a good season.

Dammit. Do these guys think photo chopping a new avatar is easy?

It's the bottom of the 7th and it looks like our season is over. Good luck to all, but I'll still root for the AL representative to the end, even if it is those damn Yankees.

It's over. Next year I guess.

ALCS Game 1:

Texas was leading, 5-0. The Yankees just tied it up in the top of the 8th, 5-5.

Very Happy

Edit: Yankees won, 6-5.

happy crowd

... and the results of game 2? Wink

Baiting Guru Joined: 03 May 2007 Posts: 18313

Yes, my beloved Yankees lost to the Rangers today. The series is tied, 1-1.
That's ok, a close series is more exciting than a sweep. Very Happy

How about those red shoed Rangers! Had the antlers om tonight. Hard to believe a team with the second to lowest salary in the MLB can whoop up on the yanks. Plus might as well say 2-1 Rangers with Lee pitching next game.

ETA: meant to say hard to believe they whooped on the Yanks who has the best team money can buy. Not fair of me to not credit the Yanks for that.

It's not looking good for my Yankees for game 3. Top of the 9th, 6-0 Texas. Crying or Very sad

Posted: Tue Oct 19, 2010 3:13 am

Hmm see a lot of people leaving..all of my 8 fellow Texas fans are still there.
8-0 now
