boycotting the World Series

knox -

1980 was great, but that cast of characters made 1993 pretty darn interesting too.

did you order your vet seats? i'm taking 2.
 
As a life long, and once again heartbroken, Cubs fan, I won't watch one out of this world series, which will be a first for me. However, I agree with Natural Tickler, a solid foundation has been laid. Wait till next year really means something this time.
 
I watched 'Trading Spaces', which is cool in most cases anyway, as well as 'Iron Chef', where they made this BIG fuss over a woman chef. They've come a long way in Japan, but I guess this is still an almost all male dominated profession. From what I understand, the stupid Yanks lost anyway, leaving 20 men on base, and pretty much giving the game to them, which has been the key to the Marlins' success, regardless of what Dusty Baker bleats.
I guess it might be fun to see George Steinbummer have a hissy fit if they lose. It's fun watching his face turn tomato red with anger in his private box, as well as his Rodney Dangerfield eyes bulging out of his head. Now, that's funny.
 
Actually, no, Baron. Those seats gave me a backache! I did get seats from Memorial Stadium in Baltimore, which are at my friend's house outside of Annapolis. I'll remember someday to bring them back here 😀

Ah Knox, stop messing with my Yanks, they won game 2....just remember that they lost game 1 in the division series and the alcs, don't count my Yanks out yet!! The fish are fiesty but the Yanks will reign supreme! and another thing Knox if you mess with my team I will just have to put my nails to use again!!

To Knox the (Yankee) Hater, and all you other non Yankee fans, we are half way there. May the best team win. 😀 🙂 😛 😉
 
take your baseball and...

keep it to your selves!
this thread was for boycotting the world series, as the title clearly states!
there are a few other threads where you can revel in your addiction, please leave this one for those of us who chose to ignore it.

LOL Actually Steve, the intent of the thread was to bust on the series more than to ignore the whole thing. Each has their own way of doing so. It's cool. 😉

Back when the last time baseball players went on strike, I boycotted all of baseball for two years. I did not watch a single game nor did I go to a sigle game. For the most part, I think the sport is a JOKE made so by those who PLAY THE GAME.

Uh...
Ain't the Yanks I hate, actually. To me, for the most part, the Yanks winning pennants and World Series constitutes a form of normality in baseball. Thirty nine appearances in a hundred years (and this IS the hundredth anniversary of the first World Series, which was won by...yes, Venray, jump for joy!) sort of reinforces that. Yanks are supposed to win, and not lose to little league teams like their current opponents. It's Steinbrenner I hate. I hate anyone who would fire an employee for not bringing his fat ass a tuna sandwich fast enough.
I was actually looking for something rotten to say, just to give JPie a reason to...uh...well, you know.
And, uh...to the person my good friend JPie loves the very most: Hail To The Redskins.🙂 😉 😛 😎
 
Knox, good buddy, but the REDSKINS suck. If you need a real go no further than America's team, the resurgent Dallas Cowboys. And I also like to add that I hate Steinbrenner too. I just wish the Yankees would go to hell and never return

HEY! Them's fightin' words! They may have a lousy record and not be able to play worth shit half the time. But, they're still my team! So, watch it. Or I'll.... I'll....

I'll think of something! 😛

Ann
 
Please don't bait me, Natural. I mean, I still want to have a reason why I should see your posts when I click on a thread.
 
Sorry, Knox, just kiddin' ya. Didn't know you were a diehard Redskins.
My apologies to you sir. And Ann, whenever the skins can beat the Boys, I will continue to say America's team is better. And btw Ann, just what was ya gonna do?
 
You see, last night there was nothing of note on TV...and I wound up turning on the game. Here's a problem with the Yankees that no one seems to want to address: if they brought half of the runs home out of ALL the guys left stranded on base in the early innings, everyone would've been home by the end of the seventh inning stretch.
You can't leave anything to chance with the Marlins. They can't beat you straight up, they can't beat a friggin' short 'A' ball team straight up! They beat you with YOUR mistakes, and they've beaten everybody over and over again by busting the door open when it's left ajar by a few centimeters. Exactly how my kind of team would play ball. You can't leave them that opportunity. I'm not sure the Yanks have learned anything from the Snakes or the Angels. The usual pundits think they're gonna win. They thought they were gonna beat the D-Backs and Angels, too.
You can't let them have any opportunities, that's all. That's how you beat them.
 
Thanks, Natural. You're a gent.
Dallas will probably take the division, I don't see anyone challenging them, it's the NFC Least for a reason. As for the playoffs, I don't know, although nobody looks particularly intimidating.
ESPN was showing a documentary a few nights ago on the 1958 Colts-Giants championship game, which was regarded as the greatest game ever played up to that time. Well, I don't know about that. The Giants' offensive game plan looked eerily familiar...they're still running the SAME DAMNED OFFENSE! Tentativeness, butterfingers (Frank Gifford's three fumble-turnovers in crucial situations), a complete lack of confidence, a feeling that they were lucky to just be there, and lucky that the Colts weren't playing up to their speed either. The Giants could've put that game away twenty seven times before they got to OT, and lost on a six yard sprint in front of the goal. Same old Giants, nothing ever changes.
I hate Steve Spurrier. He stands out there on the sidelines, looking like the Jerry Van Dyke character on 'Coach', with this idiotic smile, totally clueless. I miss Joe Gibbs and Monte Coleman and Charles Mann and Doug Williams and Dave Butz. Those were the days.

Dude:

I couldn't agree with you more. I love the game itself. It's the players that bastardized the game. The salaries have gotten so much out of hand.

Another thing that drives me nuts about the game is that the managers are constantly making pitching changes in the late innings when the game is close because of percentages. That concept in my opinion is soooooo overrated.

I'm also from the old school where you have a pitcher out there for at least two innings to earn a save. Remember Gossage, Sutter, etc...

It's cool, bro. 😎 I was just busting about that. At least you didn't say the Cowboys. Then I would have taken it personally.😉 😀

P.S.

I hate Steinbrenner also. I have to admit, I would love to see the expression on his face when then lose, but I hate listening to his rants that follow.
 
Same old Giants, nothing ever changes.

Man:

I was at the game on Sunday, and I swear to God, when the Giants were on the Philly six, I turned to the guy next to me and said "Watch, there going to cough up the ball on the next play". Sure enough, that's exactly what happened.

There is something wrong when I, as a fan, can call the next play before the ball is snapped. I should be out on the field LOL

Fassel has to throw the ball downfield once in a while and for pete's sake, run a play action once in a while.

My good old days were with Parcells, LT, Simms, Bavaro, Morris, Bart Oates, Karl Nelson, and Leonard Marshall.
