not that anyone cares... it's Beckett on the hill for Boston tonight, Wily Mo Pena was traded to the Nats, Jacoby Ellsbury was called up with Buchholz, and Doug Mirabelli pulled his calf rounding third in the first inning... so I have no idea what they'll do at C for game two. (AAA Pawtucket is in Ottawa, but AA Portland is at home. Maybe we'll see a completely overwhelmed nobody directing one of the league's best pitchers tonight. If so, probably sending Ellsbury right back down...)

It would be brutal, no doubt about it.

It just doesn't seem like they have much of an option, unless their comfortable bringing up a catcher from a lower level of the system (which is what I'd do).

The Mariners let Rene Rivera pretend to be a backup catcher for years. Whoever Boston has down in AA should be able to handle one game.

I gotta say...

I empathize with everyone out there who is put off by the burgeoning Red Sox Nation. Most of those fans are worthless bandwagoners, just like fans of any other winning team.
However, just remember how much EVERYONE hates the Yankees and Yankee fans. Then tell me who you'd rather have in the playoffs.. the Nation or the Pinstripes.

David Ortiz > God

by brick Royl on Aug 17, 2007 1:42 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I started watching baseball during the strike year

in 94, so every year that I've seen the playoffs, the Yankees have been in them. Every freaking time. Just once, JUST ONCE I want to watch the playoffs and not have the Yankees involved.

But after that, I'll take the Yankees over Red Sox every single time. Sox Nation has overtaken the Empire as the most annoying self righteous fan base in the game.

Yankees fans, weather we like it or not, at least have some credible reason to act like they do. 26 titles is 26 titles. And they have a few that are relatively recent. The Red Sox have 1, ONE title in almost 90 years and all of a sudden they think they have the right to act just like the Yankees fans? No, I don't think so. The Florida Marlins have more titles over that time span. Red Sox fans shouldn't even be in the Yankee fans league as far as acting like they do.

The Yanksox are now one in the same and so are their fanbases. The problem is, one kinda has some merit, the other has zero.

So for now, if I have to choose, I root for the Red Sox over the Yankees so long as it means the Yankees miss the playoffs. But after that, it's the Yankees all the way.

These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

Agreed in part,

Sox fans have little LONG-term reason to be arrogant. However, since 2001, they have the upper hand on the Yanks, and no one else has been more successful, it could be argued.
The arrogance comes from the bandwagoners. The real fans still remember what it feels like to choke year in, year out.

Um...

how exactly do you propose someone distance himself from his own team's fans?

David Ortiz > God

by brick Royl on Aug 17, 2007 2:28 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

In terms of fans

I now hate Red Sox Nation more...although I don't know that I've met a REAL Red Sox fan. Bandwagoners are always as annoying as fuck, but Red Sox Nation takes it to a whole 'nuther level.

However, as far as the teams go, I will always hate the Yankees more. The Red Sox still aren't my favorite team out there, but that's just because of my natural tendency to root for the underdog, which the Red Sox are not.

However, the Yankees are everything I hate about what baseball is becoming. If they were just a consistently winning team, I would be fine with it. As much as the Athletics bug me, as much as I hate them, I totally admire how well the organization is run(despite the off year). But the Yankees would be nowhere without a 220 million dollar payroll. They are the type of organization that is running up the price of baseball, and in turn making it less and less accessible to the general population.

Not to mention the 2000 and 2001 ALCS's...

He told us the story of how he woke up

It was back during the Stanley Cup, when he explained his love for the Sens and M's, even though he's in San Diego.

Loyalties are weird like that. I have a friend who's a big A's fan, because his Dad was stationed in the Bay Area when he was growing up. But he's a massive Seahawks fan, and hates the Raiders and 49'rs, even though he grew up there...

I grew up in the Seattle area, and in Hawaii, so my choices for sports teams were pretty much Seattle or nothing (although I did really like the Chargers back when Dan Fouts was playing, mostly because we had the same name).
