On a more baseball friendly theme, I'm quite happy with the Giants starting rotation which leads the majors (or is it just the NL) with a 3.08 ERA. The bullpen is even looking good. Jason Schmidt? Who's he? ;)

Ech- we aren't doing so hot in the starting rotation department.

Redman is teh suxxorz with his bloated ERA, Davies is erratic, chuck james didn't look so hot his last out (looking decent tonight), and smotlz didn't do too great his last two. Our bright spot is the ERA leader Hudson, who's stuff is just nasty lately.

No- we're a lot stronger then 2006, I don't think we're gonna end up having to worry about much. James looked great in this outing, our bullpen pulled it through- Wickman new he was having issues and voluntarily pulled himself.

Give Redman and Davies on more start before you worry. We're likely getting Lance Cormier back in the next few weeks (his MRI was fine), so that should bring some strength to replace whichever of the two back end pitchers are the weakest.

I know, I usually don't. This one does have a point though. I guess you can call me a logical Yankee fan. You know the one's that can admit when they are right or wrong.

It's all good..Even tho as Sox/Yanks fans we despise,abhor and are repulsed by each other there is this sick kind of respect that we share for each other ;)

Yea, 'tis be strange.
 
This thread just began to confuse me.
Did it just show that two teams with fans that hate each other can have fans that mutually agree with each other?

Wow.

Yes,very possible..There are fans of the team,and fans of the game. As a Sox fan,I would rather stick needles under my finger nails than root for the Yankees. BUT,I can enjoy watching Jeter play the game. That guy is a player. The game three years ago against the Sox when he went into the stands on that foul ball was one of the best plays I've seen (and also began the end of Nomar in Boston). Or watching Rivera close when he was at his peak..He owned then. It's just like here in Boston..There are Sox fans and there baseball fans..Two different types for sure.....
 
Again, I'll agree with fotografica. I'm a Yankee Fan, but I'm also a fan of the game. For what it's worth, it's always about the game (cue Field of Dreams).

As much as I hate Manny and Ortiz, they down right own the Yankees. FOX put some ridiculous statistic up today that last season Manny was batting like over .550 with 14 HRs against the Yankees. Or how AROD tries to emulate Ortiz (hitting wise), but Ortiz delivers when it counts. (See postseason, more specifically 2004. And yes, it hurt to type that). As much as I hate them, I respect them. Well, Manny not so much simply because I think he treats the Sox and their faithful like crap each and every season.

EDIT: More to the point, is that we're passionate. We love our teams, but we love baseball above all else.

Agreed.. It's about the game..Tho the Sox have coddled their superstars back to Rice and Yaz..It's nothing new here really.We've grown accustomed to it. As long as they produce,we deal ;)

So how do we proceed? Do we pretend this never happened and go back to hating each other now? :p

Manny produces alright, he's such a bastard though. Ortiz just plays and I really respect that. I'd respect him more if he played 1B more often ;)

My job is done then! Just make sure the wife is ok, otherwise you'll never hear the end of it!

Do you find it strange that we can turn any thread into a discussion of alcohol?

Yes, go back to the way things were- otherwise the world will not be right.

I'll sit along the campfire as long as we get to roast marshmallows, but I won't sing!!!! We'll keep that mutual hatred respect.

Yea, I'm going to have to say WTF to Minnesota. Worst. Deal. Evar.

That picture is priceless! It says it all.
 
Marshmallows and smores are otay..I'll wash mine down with a distilled spriit tho. Given the fact that it's rainy and raw here tonite,chilled vodka will work just fine..
