No, Yankee fans aren't obsessed with the Red Sox much. :rolleye2:

At least we come up with something more original and creative than chants of "Red Sox Suck"

I've yet to see anything original other than that, except for the same four pictures being splashed over and over. But, hang on to what you must to make yourselves feel better. :funny:

even when you won the world series, all you thought about was the yankees.

Yes, the Yankees have advantages being in New York, but the distance between them and other franchises is greater than it should be. There is no reason the Chicago Cubs, with their big market, national fan base and national television deal, couldn't rival the Yankees on and off the field. But the Cubs are owned by the Tribune Company, a corporation that would rather suck out profits than reinvest in winning.

Other big-market clubs such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox (until recently), Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants and New York Mets have stumbled with different ownership groups that lacked the vision, brains or the guts to match Steinbrenner.

Steinbrenner runs the most aggressive money-making franchise. He reinvests into the on-field product, which in turn produces more money to be reinvested. A lot of owners just cut and run.

While Steinbrenner has stumbled often – and who knows whether this trade will even get the Yankees to the playoffs – the failures are mostly the result of trying too hard.

So you can curse the Yankees for, once again, loading up on players without regard to money, you can hate hopelessness of baseball in Kansas City and Pittsburgh, but you can't fault the Boss for reaping what he's been sowing for over three decades and once again going all in for the World Series.

And you can wish your favorite team's owner was just as committed.

Who's Veritek?;)

Who's Veritek?;)

Good question. But I know who Big Papi is!! :D

even when you won the world series, all you thought about was the yankees.

And I point out, once again, that NESN actually had a separate segment where they looked at how the Yankees did every day. Aside from ALL of the other teams in MLB, they gave the Yankees their own, exclusive segment. Now THAT'S obssessing.

You're still on that kick?

A) Why are YOU watching NESN? Obsess much? :rolleye2:

B) That lasted all of a week and it was around the time we had a four game series against each other.

C) Why is it that when I watch a Yankee game when the Sox aren't on at the same time, the first game they show highlights of during the post game show is the Red Sox?

So take your conspiracy theories and go to the politics forum.

Fausto Carmona found out who he is tonight too.

Dude, the two teams battle neck and neck every year. Of course the fans want to know how their competition is doing.

Here's an idea: instead of just posting an image of Vlad in your mock "Red Sox apreciation" thread, why not try and make an insightful sports-related comment? And let's limit all talk to this century.

Is that you Shark???? What are the odds your boyfriends name is Veritek, it's almost quite similar to the Red Sox's catchers last name. :funny:

Don't bother trying to reason with that pea brain. He likes to claim he's a lifelong Yankee fan (as every Yankee fan is :rolleye2: ) but all he ever talks about is the Red Sox. :rolleye2:

Douche... I mean Dude... I KNOW the 2 teams battle neck and neck... I'm just pointing out how cute and sweet it was that NESN took the time to have a dedicated segment to the Yankees... especially after comments about how the Yankee fans obssess about Boston. Pot.. kettle. Kettle... pot.

Here's an idea: if you're looking to stop NON-insightful sports-related comments, look at a few other people on here. Mmmmmkay? Thanks.

More lies...
1: I never claimed to be a lifelong Yankee fan
2: I RARELY talk about the Red Sox... this coming from the guy that never posted in a Red Sox forum until mine (because you DO seem to love dancing for my attention) yet you DO spend all of your sports forum time in the Yankee threads, posting pics of the Daily News and New York Post pages regarding the Yankees. I understand that you do it only for attention.
I'd challenge you to point out how many Red Sox posts I've made but the fact is you're nothing but a mouthpiece and you spew nothing but lies and misinformation. Not unlike the above post.
Hey, aren't you due to jump on a new bandwagon-Tiger won recently, how come you haven't put HIS photo as your avatar, just like the Italian flag when it was easy to become a fan of them. Oh yeah... I forgot... you're that guy who claims to be 100% Italian... Where in Italy is it that you were born again, I don't recall you answering that the last time... Phony.

You're still on that kick?

A) Why are YOU watching NESN? Obsess much? :rolleye2:

B) That lasted all of a week and it was around the time we had a four game series against each other.

C) Why is it that when I watch a Yankee game when the Sox aren't on at the same time, the first game they show highlights of during the post game show is the Red Sox?

So take your conspiracy theories and go to the politics forum.

A) I don't watch NESN. It was reported on in a couple of Sports Magazines and eventually found it's way into the Post, which gave many a New Yorker a good laugh. And no, don't obsess much at all, unlike you Cutey.

B) You confirm that they DID have a segment dedicated to the Yankees game of the day... yet you call it a conspiracy theory? What's the conspiracy you think I'm looking for-when you've confirmed it?

C)Why are you watching Yankee games? Obssess much? You're not even a Red Sox fan (despite your silly claim that 'EVERYONE ON HERE' knows you're a Red Sox fan.

Now that I've answered YOUR questions, would it kill you to answer the questions I've asked you lately? I won't hold my breath, as you're just in this for show.

HOW"S A-ROR DOING THIS YEAR?
