you clearly know nothing about my position on sports. I dislike the Yankees, yes, because they're our rivals.
Let's see.
Gee I didn't know you remembered what you had posted about the Yankees. I am also going to go out on a limb and say, well, um, you like the Red Sox?
But seriously, I know you know a lot about sports and I enjoy reading your posts. It's just when it's your team all your objectivity and knowledge go out the window and that's what I call anybody on whether they know some or know a ton. I may not know every stat about my Giants, A's, Raiders, Niners, Warriors, or Sharks like some people I know but I know enough when I am meeting a superior team like 2012 Detroit Tigers (who we mysteriously swept in a way nobody predicted) OR recent meeting with dominant Seahawks, when I know enough to be scared and to respect that team. Whatever the outcome, the Tigers were a better team in 2012 MLB than the Giants and the Seahawks of this year were most certainly better than my 49ers. It's no fun to say that but it's true according to most who follow this professionally.
There's no room for trash talk yet I can say I hate them or I don't like their attitude but to say, "We will cream them" is simply stupid on every level just because I dislike or hate them. While I certainly don't like the attitude of Richard Sherman on the Seahawks, I know it's just that type of stuffing of an offense which meant it could spell trouble for my team, and it did. And earlier in the year, I knew that it wasn't cool that the rival Dodgers got former SF pitcher Brian Wilson, who at the very least was a morale booster for Giants team and fans, but realized that when the Dodgers started getting mid to late season momentum, it was nearly hopeless for us to catch LA in the MLB NL West. That being said many Bay Area fans, whatever their knowledge, like to chalk it up to "Seattle sucks" or "Dodgers suck" and I guess that's a fun part of the sport.
I don't really need to read too much of what you said when I see that when the Pats or Red Sox lost, it's because somebody cheated, there's a conspiracy, or somebody doped up, or there was a bad call, or somebody was hurt. You are the best Boston maker of creative, and not so creative excuses. Can't you ever say, gee, we lost? It won't make you a lesser person and in sports sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, and in the last decade+ or so, Boston has been the winningest city in America so you have very little room for complaint.
For your own sanity's sake I hope the Red Sox shut down the Yankees every single time Tanaka pitches so you can make up a theory that is always somewhat more relevant than what SI or ESPN seems to think with their analysis.
