Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Especially given the number of sports writers and talking bobble-heads who wrote the Sox off at the start of the season, there is a certain plush goodness in dispatching the Yankees with a three-run walk off homer in the ninth!!! Close your eyes, listen on the radio, and it's 1967 all over again! Sox are solidly in 1st place in the East, the Yankees are 5 games back, and you can feel the playoffs coming to Fenway!

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I was in JFK wearing one of my Red Sox World Series t-shirts. A Lady said "You know we hate the Red Sox?" I said "Yankees suck this year, don't they?" She said yeah. 'Course, that was they still had A-Rod. They are doing better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Total respect for the Red Sox. The '75 World Series is still seven of the greatest games every played. Yes, I'm a lifelong Reds fan. And though sports teams tend not to stir much negative passion in me, it brings me a small chuckle every time the Yankees lose.

Shawnee McGrutt Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Don't know if I would call a two game lead a solid lead, unless there is only one game left to play. There are two teams snapping at their heels. Both the O's or the Jays are just as good as the Sox. I hope they go on a big losing streak. But any win over the yankees is reason to celebrate.

Snake River Clay SASS #34984 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Boston has had a few good years recently. Yankees have won 25% and been in a third of the World Series. They'll be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Well McGrutt, you should be a happy man. Bosox beat the darn Yankees, and even a win tonight, by Baltimore and Toronto could not change the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I saw that, and Toronto and Baltimore have not played as yet. Bosox better jack it up a couple of notches or they could lose a whole game today. Not a lot of days left to play for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawnee McGrutt Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Have to go to the package store Another close one. They are playing with me. Lucky for Rye, the Indians are waiting out some rain. I think they are doing a rain dance, to avoid playing. They know what the tea leaves, said.

Shawnee McGrutt Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 That is all Yankee fans do, live in the glory days. Great day for sports in New England.

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Well, I am going out on a limb here. Division winners look like this to me: American League; East Boston Red Soxs Central Cleveland Indians West Texas Rangers National League; East Washington Central Chicago Cubs West Los Angeles Dodgers Wild Cards are still in flux.

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 There is something ironic to go the ballpark and hear about 35000 New Englanders chanting "Yankees s**k!" I remember once about 20 years ago I was in LA. Some friends wanted to go to a baseball game. Angels were out of town, but the Dodgers were at home. So we went. (Dodger stadium has no soul...) They were playing the Mets. The crowd started chanting "New York s**ks*" and they were kinda bland about it. I jumped up and said "What's wrong with you people?" and dove into an enthusiastic "NEW YOUR S**KS!" chant. People were looking at me wondering how I could be so passionate about it. Then they saw my Red Sox cap and said, "Oh, you're from Boston. Never mind." Hell hath no fury like a Red Sox fan! CALL FOR BIIIIIG PAPIIIIII!

Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 Yankees Swept!! Man, what a sports day in Boston! Sox sweep the Yanks, and are on FIRE headed for the play-offs! Pats squish the Fish (well, during the 1st half, and then hung on for the 2nd) - without Brady, Gronkowski, Nincovich, and half the line. They are now 2-0 without their starting quarterback (eat that, Roger Goodell). Loss of Garappolo will hurt, but they will find a way! It's amazing how invigorating it is to just watch winning teams, even if you never played a day in your life! LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawnee McGrutt Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 But to get back to the topic title... I have seen my fair share of losing games at Fenway, must be something about the place, but it is always a Splendid Night or afternoon and sometimes a morning at Fenway.

Shawnee McGrutt Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Rye, you don't want the Baltimore Buzzards back in town? Didn't they move out in the middle of the night? It is too bad that the Browns, can't seem to get it together. For some reason this team just doesn't have the same spark as the original Browns. But, if Cleveland would like to get rid of Tito, Bobby Valentine is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
