I live in NY, but do not allign myself with the yankees. I like them and the red sox equally, and seeing as how the yanks are seemingly on the way down, I’d love for the Red Sox to keep Mike Lowell, scoop up A-Rod, and put him at shortstop until he’s too old to be a competent ss.
Switching Lugo for A-rod would make for an absurd lineup. The Sox would be able to whoop the national league allstar team with that lineup and beckett starting with Okajima and Papelbon relieving…
I mean come on, what do the Yanks really have on the Sox? Better looks?
Thanks for the insight, Freddy Frontrunner. I like the Yankees and Red Sox equally, too. Kind of how I like cancer and AIDS.
Seriously. How does this even happen? If you say you’re a fan for both of them, you’re really a fan of neither. No self respecting yankee fan would root for the sox and vice versa.
So, when they play each other, who do you root for? Or does that change as the score or city you’re in change?
Oh boo hoo…
It’s just baseball after all. I don’t make my being a fan of a team the center of my life; therefore self respect has nothing to do with it.
When they play each other, I would say I tend to root for the away team to destroy the home team, because I like seeing that, and the misery from the fans.
Is it me, or do I miss the point of chanting “boston sucks” or “yankees suck?” It’s downright obnoxious. I went to a Yankee game for example, and they kept announcing the away scores, and boston losing caused 15 minute long “boston sucks” chants, even though Boston was still up by like 10 games. Are they mindless drones or what?
You are clearly not a fan, so you have no concept of how fans think and how fans feel. You are a frontrunner, who just “happens” to root for the teams with the two highest payrolls in baseball. Any real fan just HATES clowns like you.
Let me guess — you love the Patriots (and the Colts), are a huge Spurs fan (but cheer for the Cavs), and can’t get enough of Ohio State and Florida when it comes to college sports. People see thru your b.s. a mile away.
Excuse me, but I wouldn’t call myself a frontrunner, because I root for the Tampa Bay Bucs, not the Patriots or Colts. Peyton Manning is a douche. Although I wish I were Tom Brady.
The reason I root for both the Yankees and red sox is becausethese big market teams drive the baseball economy. The rivalry and the vast amounts of money they spend brings more money into this sport than every other team combined. Without the Yankees and Sox, baseball would be like soccer in America, deader than Carrot Top’s career.
In the end, it’s a game and devoting one’s life and love to a company that is trying to sell you a product makes you a waste of oxygen. It’s like rooting for Burger King of Mcdonalds. Competition is good for the consumer because we get things like the dollar menu and cheap chinese labor, you clown.[/quote]
Your profound inability to grasp the basic economics of baseball is staggering. And your justification for rooting for the two biggest abusers of the baseball free market economy doesn’t even make sense. They spend the most $$, therfore, I am a fan? Sure. They win the most games, therfore I am a “fan” is more like it.
Try being a fan of the Kansas City Royals or the Minnesota Twins or the Pittsburgh Pirates and explain to me how what the Yankees and Red Sox are doing is contributing to the overall health of baseball.
Oh. Carrot Top made way more $$$ last year than you ever will. Guaranteed.
Bottom line you are not a fan of baseball, know nothing about baseball, are not qualified to comment on a baseball related thread, and should really just stop making yourself look so foolish. And ignorant.
