BOSTON RED SOX thread

Being a "Eurohomo" or whatever the term is I have only had a fleeting interest in baseball in the past, but this season I cant get enough of it, it's my new favorite sport! Jesus Christ sometimes I'm watching two games at once, it's fucking awesome! I watched the all of the recent Orioles/Red Sox series of games including yesterdays mammoth 17 innings monster, what a game! When I'm deciding who to watch I always get drawn to 3 teams, the Red Sox, the Giants and the Yankees, I know the Yankees are like your version of our Manchester United, everyone hates them right? Does everyone hate the Red Sox too? Why? I am leaning towards them being the team I support.

Uhh no.

Everyone outside of New York and Boson hates them, don't know what country you have been living in.

To answer drop kick, yes we ALL hate the Yankees and Red Sox, because they have ruined the sport with their ridiculous spending and buying postseason appearances year after year.

Ruined the sport? There wouldn't be a sport if it wasn't for the Yankees or Red Sox. Yes both teams overspend, but you have to look like why they can spend more money then anyone else. Why they have the income that they do.

If smaller teams like the Orioles, BlueJays, Rays, had more money. Do you think they would not spend it?

The reason why I'm drawn to them is a while ago I watched the 30 for 30 documentary about the 2004 semi final against the Yankees, one of the best sports things I have ever seen and it piqued my interest in the sport as a whole, I'm trying to learn as much about the history of it as I can and hadn't really come across much hate for them before, I knew they were underachievers with that curse of the Bambino thing.

btw the 30 for 30 one about the Chicago Cubs fan who interfered with the catch was awesome too, Jesus I felt sorry for that guy.

Yea man. I got to say baseball really is a great sport. Many people are die hard for their teams because they grew up with them. It's like a family thing. I guess you can always say that for all sports.

The 30 for 30 docs really are awesome. The RedSox and Cubs doc is awesome. I felt so bad for the Cubs fan. He did what any other fan would of done, but the television didn't help him out at all either.

Actually I have to retract my statement about there wouldn't be a league without the Yanks and Sox, because we know there def would be. I guess what I wanted to say is that I don't feel baseball would be as big as it is, without those markets.

I might start a separate thread with all my dumb noob questions so you guys can set me straight on stuff.

Cheers dude

Im a Giants fan and it's hard to defend the Dodgers. But calling them an eastcoast traitor transplant team at this point is the most retarded fucking thing Ive ever fucking heard in my life. East Coast people are such pompous fucking faggots it makes me sick.

I don't know why someone would say the Giants are a transplant team. They haven't been in NY in over 50 years. Didn't they leave in like 56 or 57?

Only team I hate is the Yankees. Boston had a long suffering fanbase until their recent success, and they have no choice but to engage in the salary arms race with the Yankees to compete. Really, I mostly hate MLB's failure to implement a salary cap for creating the current mess where a few teams are spending 6 times what another market can. I wouldn't mind a little free market disparity, but it's silly at this point that certain teams are essentially farm teams who can never re-sign their developed players.

both Giants and Dodgers left in 57. Also BCR I agree with you about MLB salary cap. completely unfair. Has Moneyball taught us nothing?

Who in the hell ever called the Dodgers an East Coast transplant team??

Calm down.

And agreed with all about the salary cap, but yet again thank the cartel called the MLBPA for that one.

Using 6toedpete as a reference is worse then using the 9th Circuit Court in California when citing past decisions trying to set a precedent. Everyone else in the country just laughs at them just like everyone here laughs at 'Ol Pete. When Druff is chuckling at you on radio, you are probably a crazy psycho.

This isn't true. The Red Sox and Yankees have a huge fanbase all over the country. The reason they get hate is because they are good teams and other fans get jealous. Instead of having a complete indifference (like people do for the Milwaukee Brewers or the Colorado Rockies) the Red Sox and Yankees are loathed by otehr fan-bases; this doesn't mean they are not the two most popular teams in the sport across the country.

So wrong on so many levels that I don't have time to get into right now.

And you contradicted your entire argument in the last sentence.

You can have a large fan base and be hated by a lot of other people at the same time, no contradiction.

Red Sox 11, Royals 5

Will Middlebrooks slammed the brakes on the Red Sox's five-game losing streak, as the club's top prospect launched two homers, while David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia also went deep vs. the Royals.

NEWSFLASH: Much of the 'chuckling' during my segment on Druff's Radio Show was directed towards your nervous fail call along with that high school student Windsor Lockwood's pathetic attempts to form a sentence through a mouth full of teenage braces.

I have conceded that my portion of radio was a failure. However Windsor completely destroyed you. You were stuttering like a fucking babbling retard. you couldnt even get a sentence out. He was asking you clearly coherent questions (to at least to 99% of the listeners) and when you didnt want to answer you would laugh and say "what was that? I didnt get that." Druff was opening mocking you when you would say stuff like "he left like a coward" and Druff would say "well, i dont know if it was like a coward, but he left." Little subtle jabs at you that just flew over your head.

When the best jab at someone that you can possibly come up with is that he has braces (which he in fact said he doesnt), then you should probably just end your life. Are you seriously that old and delusional that you think "you have braces" is an insult? You are geriatic delusional out of touch faggot fucking retard, and thats an insult.

The funniest part of the entire night by far was your insistence on Windsor betting you about wether you testified at Congress 20 years before he was born. No one ever disputed you did but you kept pushing a bet. You are a certifiable lunatic. You cant just say a fact and then force someone to bet you about it. No one is impressed that you testified before congress 40 years ago.

Yes, you contributed an epic fail on PFA Radio.

The rest of your post drivel consisted of lies and revisionist history.

18-year-old Windsor Lockwood added nothing. He never asked a single cogent question. Whether his difficulty in speaking was attributable to braces or marbles in his mouth doesn't really matter does it? Anyone listening could tell that the boy troll was very angry and very nervous.

From your poorly written remarks it's clear you are also very angry. I cannot help you with that.

I know you have picked fights with other PFA members and it's clear you are one of the least respected posters here.

It seems your goal is to be recognized as PFA's number one troll. I believe you have accomplished your goal.

As Druff said, it must be a generation gap because all I heard was Windsor ripping your asshole completely open to where you will need depends for the last 2-3 years of your life.

Although I'm sure your immaturity affected you, it was more of an intelligence gap that caused your 'confusion'.

Your troll rants across this forum reveal a stupefying lack of basic grammar and syntax. However, even those flaws would be tolerable if you could display some wit and intelligence as you troll PFA members. It's obvious you don't possess the intellect to do that.

Other PFA members have called for you to be banned or have your posts banished to the Bathroom Wall. Many PFA members consider you a troll.

You are not liked or respected. Perhaps it's time for some introspection. Without it you will always be nothing but an angry, stupid troll.

SixToedPete has good decent content when I listened to radio. Then some punk douche asked him if he stuttered for like 10 minutes. I turned it off after that. It was unlistenable.

I would like a Six Toed Pete segment with Druff on some shady Congressional shit he saw over the years. That would be pretty decent radio.

But to have some punk in a dorm room attack a retired dude, not really interested.

I agree. Not really interested in listening to some 18 year old talk over & down to anybody let alone someone who has testified before congress. It was the worst part of the show & I listened to all 7.5 hours of it.

I was 18 once & thought I knew it all at one time too so I can't really be too hard on Windsor but he really had nothing to say & added nothing to the show.

Thank you PHA.

However, I'm not retired. I own a small business and happily work 5 or 6 days a week.

I appreciate that Hockey Guy.

You're correct about having patience with an 18-year-old.

I think it was George Bernard Shaw (although also attributed to Oscar Wilde) who said, "Youth is wasted on the young".

Fenway Park Announcer Carl Beane Dies In Car Crash

STURBRIDGE (CBS) – Carl Beane, the public address announcer at Fenway Park has died after a car crash in Sturbridge.

Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early says the 59-year-old died in a one-car crash on Holland Road Wednesday afternoon.

Golfers from nearby Hemlock Ridge Golf Course called police at 12:39 p.m. to alert them to the crash.

A preliminary investigation shows that Beane’s Suzuki crossed double solid lines, left the road and hit a tree and a wall on Holland Road.

There were no other passengers in the car and no other vehicles involved.

Beane was born in Agawam and had been the announcer for the Red Sox since 2003.

pretty good considering Kevin, Carl and Jacoby have been on the DL and the starting pitching was brutal early. They are showing signs of life now
