Yankees Daily

Bitter and miserable do not describe me. I’m just a little tired of fighting gloating Red Sox fans. I have a theory that all Red Sox fans were reborn in October 2004, and most of them are acting like four-year-olds. While they may not repeat this year, I strongly disagree on one player. Jon Lester looks like the real deal!!!

Boston fans have become very arrogant since 2004 and then you have the Celtics winning the title which really mad me angry. I’d take it a step further and say Boston fans started acting arrogant since 2002 when the Pats won their first title. I feel the same way Uke feels.

Some one left a message but I deleted it by accident. I was deleting a lot of spam and your message got deleted.

Don’t ever compliment curt schilling, you say your a die hard fan, and i believe you are. But how can you give in to the most anti-Yankee, new york sport personality out there. Curt Schilling hates you and New York, he wishes the Yankees would have drafted him and played him, but we didn’t because he is a dick and an asshole all in one. Now, he’s gloating that he was right…i love you because you are a die hard Yankee fan so i look at you as a brother, but please don’t ever give into the enemy again. You praising the words of Curt Schilling is like an Israeli praising the words of Yasser Arafat, we just don’t do it.

Yeah, but how could a pro ball player be so classless as to say a rival team “sucks”?(regardless of if they do or not) Do you think Jeter would ever do something like that? Also, critizing NY fans; when Boston has the most obnoxious, drunken, fratboy fanbase in baseball?? They cheer when yankees get hit by pitches! Isn’t that the same principal? Why do you think they do it? hmmmm…cuz they are bitter that the yankees have 26 world series titles? could be. And why wouldn’t Jets fans be happy that Brady is out? As a yankee fan, I was happy when Ortiz was on the dl, and when Manny was traded. Not because I wanted to see someone hurt, but because I root for my team to win, and when a divisional rival loses a star, that helps my teams chances. Oh and by the way, as a Giants fan; I am certainly not worried about the patriots with or without Tom Brady. 18 wins and ONE GIANT LOSS!!!

Bassston is third rate City , bunch of shanty irish dregs..Jesus, you ever see so many ugly bastards in one place ? Oh yea, the jints beat the bejesus out of Tom Brady & the NE Cheatriots when they were healthy so Curt should just stfu & retire like the fat old loser he is..

Hey “Tom”
We New Yorkers need to grow up, we’re the only fans who derive pleasure from seeing an opposing player go down with an injury. Those Boston fans who were cackling with glee when Jeter dislocated his shoulder were just a figment of my imagination right?

I agree with Schilling about being miserable, miserabl\e about how the Yankees stunk it up. But on the contrary, I was not happy to see Brady go down. I appreciate the way he and his teammates approach the game, like a job, very worklike. They don’t act like spoiled primadonnas. I have the same feeling about the Red Sox, it’s not the team I despise, it’s their fans. In the years when the Yankees were up and Boston wasn’t, Yankee fans were arrogant and obnoxious while Boston fans were miserable. My, how things have changed. The past year has been great for Boston fans, they should be proud, not arrogant, of the Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots. Almost a sweep of titles, ALMOST. Sorry Pat fans. The Pats met the wrong team at the wrong time. That probably stung just as much as your great comeback because in both cases, we were head to head. The difference, you made history and we denied you history. Not all N.Y. fans are ignorant, some are just passionate. I use to have a great deal of respect for you until you made a generalized statement like you did. Everything is a cycle, the Yankees will be back on top with the Red Sox looking up at us.

Nice try but you didn’t finish posting the whole sentence.

“the playoffs mean nothing if you don’t win the world series”

I am devoted Red Sox & Boston sports fan, but for the life of me I can’t understand why Schilling shoots his big mouth off so much….he has become an embarrassment to the City and his Team. I hate to say this, but I agree with you New Yawkers.

This is really just a pure role reversal. The Yankees fans have felt the sting of failure for several years and have become bitter and angry like the Red Sox used to. The Red Sox have had remarkable success for at least 5 year and the fan base has become the arrogant bloated pigs that the Yankees fans were for so long. It is part of the cycle of sports teams.

As far a winning 26 World Series – Yankees fans are clinging to the Past. I am sure the Red Sox fans around 1920 were bragging about having wons 6 WS in the last 20 years after they lost for a few years too. Big deal.

The truth is in the new millenium it is Red Sox 2 Yankees 0!

GBF,
Sorry, I’ve never been a gloater!

Congratulations, you now know how all Boston fans felt about New York circa 2000. I don’t like the Yankees, never have, never will. However, I do respect them and their organization for what they have done. If Jeter or Rivera or A-Rod went down the way Brady did I would never celebrate it. Would I be happy the my team might have a better chance, sure. That’s only human nature. What I would not do; is actively root for one of those athletes to get hurt, nor would I cheer if it happened.

You guys, I’m an Indians fan. I’m really glad that the Yankees sucked this year and that the Rays backhanded you like you were a bunch of rookies. I liked how the Angels owned you and clinched their division by beating you. I’m glad that you laugh a revenue sharing and spend a shitload on a team that can’t get it done.

I loathe your ability to sidestep all efforts to level the playing field by the other teams in baseball. Admittedly though, I don’t play by the rules unless I’m forced to, so the players union and MLB is equally hated.

I feel bad for your players though, bad numbers aren’t good for them. I think ARod is the best player in baseball. Mariano Rivera’s a stud too. Bobby Abreu might be the most underrated right fielder, what a player.

Fortunately those numbers are bad for the douche nozzles that run the team.

Nice write up Sean. I agree with you and Uke. lol.

Personally, as a Yankees fan, I think Schilling is a Hall-of-Fame pitcher who has had some great post-season moments, especially in 2001 and 2004. Otherwise, he’s a colossal gas-bag whose political opinions are woefully simplistic and ill-informed and, as Mr. Faded Glory said, he started sucking up with his “Yankee Hater” cap and rhetoric right away. He’s a dolt–a future Hall-of-Fame dolt in my opinion–but a dolt nonetheless.

I’m a die-hard Yankees fan and have been since age 7, when I was enthralled with the Yanks’ run to the World Series in 1976 and Thurman Munson’s great series (.529 AVG) in a losing cause. I’ve seen lots of highs and lows with the team, and appreciated the 1996 World Series title because of the team’s stretch of 18 years without one, as well as the intervening years of watching my Buffalo Bills come close to but fall short of glory four straight years. I am neither spoiled not a stranger to sports heartache as a Bills, Yankees, Celtics, and Sabres fan. So anyone trying to argue to the contrary, especially a couple painfully obnoxious Red Sox fans who have infected this thread, are making thin gruel–not surprisingly. Nor am I the least bit bitter about how this year has gone for us as Yankees fans. 13 straight years in the playoffs, 6 pennants, 4 World Series victories including 3 straight, many great games, memories, and player milestones and accomplishments–who am I to complain? When this run ends, as it will soon, I plan to thank them on my blog and not complain one bit. It’s been sublime and I’ve loved all of it, and it will return soon enough. When the Yankees had their tremendous dynastic run in the late 1990s, I never gloated or rubbed anyone else’s nose in my stink–never. I loved and appreciated every moment of it, knowing that such successes are inherently fleeting as they always are, that what I was witnessing, especially in the magical, unprecedented 1998, was something I may never see again, that it ranked with the greatest team sports accomplishments in North American sports history. Spoiled my ass. I–and many other salient, sentient Yankees fans and friends of mine–knew how good we had it at the time and afterwards, and didn’t expect any more than what we were gratefully granted. Sure, we push for our team to make the playoffs and win every year. Those who don’t can root to stay out of last place if they so desire. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to win, as long as one has the comportment to be humble and gracious in victory or defeat. Plenty of my friends and I did so and continue to do so, knowing what hard times have been like as sports fans and never allowing those times to fade too far from our collective consciousness. Live in the past? We all do as sports fans–to never forget the great times, to hope for their hasty return and, for the salient ones, to never forget the bad times and how the priceless the better ones are in comparison. People should ALWAYS live with the past. I won’t apologize one bit for remembering the past in vivid detail, and will always treasure the late 1990s Yankees–with good reason.

Red Sox Mom, I don’t begrudge you or fellow Red Sox fans your recent success, not one bit. You suffered through 86 years of heartache and misery, of close calls and fading fast and early, and I tipped my cap to the Red Sox for the amazing, if utterly deflating for me as a Yanks fan, comeback of 2004. That said, did you think about your comments at all before posting? or did you just belch them out like so much empty steam? Honestly. HONESTLY. “…don’t kick us for having a winning [team, presumably],we earned it–we didn’t buy it.” Really? I see, so the 2004 and 2007 Red Sox played for gratis, for the love of the game. Ahh, I get it now. Your team’s victories in an era of corporate sports were PURE, while those of the Yanks were somehow tainted by…money. What a steaming pile. Tell me, Red Sox Mom, what teams beat down the door for Scott Brosius, whom the Yankees signed before 1998? for Darryl Strawberry, when he was playing for the St. Paul Saints in 1996? How many takers were there for Paul O’Neill after the 1992 season, a down year for him, when the Yankees traded up-and-coming Roberto Kelly for him? for Mariano Duncan? for Joe Girardi in a trade for Mike DeJean? for David Cone, for whom the Yanks traded? for Jimmy Key, whom the Yankees signed after a 13-13 year? for Graeme Lloyd who ate up Fred McGriff and Ryan Klesko in the great 1996 World Series comeback victory? The Yankees BUILT those teams, usually through trades and NOT “buying” players through free agency. All teams PAY for players, including your Red Sox who, from 2002-2007, had the second-highest payroll in the AL save for 2003, when it was barely third-highest. The Red Sox bought their titles as much as anyone did or earned them. Stop living in a dream world, and your arrogant, sanctimonious comments are hilarious as you admonish allegedly arrogant Yankees fans. Go back to your blog and let the adults talk baseball.

Beth, don’t you even dare lump us as Yankees fans together with a pack of homophobes at Yankee Stadium! How disgracefully idiotic, and I say that as someone who rightly derided that incident far and wide on blogs. Don’t you even dare paint with such a sloppy, broad brush as to try to taint so many of us who don’t cheer for injuries–oh no, NEVER happened in Boston–who happen to be fans of the Celtics ourselves (and I’m far from the only Yankees/Celtics fan I know), who happened to send out congratulatory comments to the good Red Sox fans I know and interact with the night of their World Series victory last year. Don’t even try to paint us Yankees fans as a whole as hateful, threatening, obnoxious fans when I personally know friends and acquaintances who went to Fenway and were treated to such “hospitality” as being sworn at, given the finger, had beers (plural) dumped on them, had chants of “asshole” emanate from the “Fenway faithful” for having the temerity to ascend the stairs to go to the bathroom, nay, EXIST in Yankees garb, for being Yankees fans, who have been given the finger on roads from Sox fans for having a Yankees bumper sticker. How obtuse such a line of “reasoning” is from you when ALL fan bases unfortunately have elements of hooliganism in them. You permanently lost your right to declare that anyone has lost anything permanent with such mendacious, scurrilous excrement. Right, with “your” side such incidents are ALWAYS isolated and disavowed, while they’re embraced and abetted with the Yankees. Twaddle. Take your wanna-be high-handed screed back to “Red Sox Chick” where such baseless gibberish can pose as adequate discourse instead of the hilarious, one-sided unvarnished nonsense that it is.
Yours Truly,
Jason

Jason, a couple posts up, you made like a blog post. I’d post some of that on your blog if I were you. I also didn’t realize you were the same age as me.

NEW YORK SPORTS CAN SUUUUUUUCK IT.

big papitier, thank you for your sterling contribution to the baseball discourse here. “Red Sox Nation” should be proud, as should all of America.

Thanks, Sean. What I wrote above will in good part form a future post.

I am sick of a $200 million payroll that can’t win . What are we doing ?
We overpay for lackluster , old , lazy players
We play with no heart
We don’t play when we’re hurt
We complain about the greatest player of the last 50 years because he doesn’t win us a championship.
We are spoiled brats and deserve better … but we should also be gracious about other teams and their players . We gloat and scream and act like buffoons when we win , why can’t others !?!?!?

“Just remember, the playoffs mean nothing if you don’t win the world series and when the Red Sox lose in the playoffs, their year won’t be any better than the Yankees’ year.”
What a self-serving statement. Yankee fan is trying to convince us that that only the World Series winner has a good year. The truth is: Yankees had a bad year. Even the Blue Jays have had a better one. At this point Yankees can’t measure themselves against the Red Sox now, or in the near future. Blow it up.

Cardinals Jim,
Watch out! The Red Sox need only three more rings to tie the Cardinals……………and Yogi!

Go Giants! I could care less about Brady and the Pats, I wish he were still playing, I loved the deer in the headlight look he was giving the front 7 all night! Oh, and the holyier then though media of Sox Nation, Curt why don’t you have your buddies on WEEI play the tape the morning after Matsui shattered his wrist, they were laughing (out loud on radio) like to little bitches, pull the tape, May 11? You make blanket statements about a region you have spent 10 minutes in, go visit the Hamptons for a week, and see some of the charitable things the great people of NY do, just ask Boomer Esiason,. Curt seriously, you’re the bitter one!

Fuck New York and fuck Boston. Bunch of overpaid punks. Words cannot describe how much I LOVE looking at the standings and seeing the Yankees 10 games out behind Toronto and Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay has a fifth of your payroll! Hows that feel? As for Boston, you will not win the division and you will lose to the Angels in the ALDS

At least my teams will be around in the playoffs. Did you not forget the Giants won a SB last year??

I love the playoffs, and as a Sox fan, there is nothing like watching them play in the playoffs. And Lester? He looked pretty damn good last night, huh? He’s got the stuff to dominate in the playoffs.

You’ll see.

So BaseballJunkie is tired of fighting gloating BoSox fans. I am gloating BoSoxFan & I was tired of fighting gloating Yankee fans year after year (with the exception of post-9/11) who kept running the 1918, Curse of the Bambino & Bucky Dent smack especially when some of those Yankees fans are members of my extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins).

In May 2002, I even went to a Yankees game vs the Blue Jays wearing my Red Sox T-shirt & cap (last Wednesday in May before Memorial Day when the Yankees were headed up to Boston for a 4 game series). I caught grief on the way in to the Stadium & definitely caught grief on the way out when the Yankees lost 8-3 to the Jays on Land o Lakes Roger Clemens bobblehead day (Hinske had a great game on the way to RoY honors).

So there have ALWAYS been vociferous BoSox fans in the country, we just have more to crow about after 2007 & especially 2004 (winning the ALCS in Yankee Stadium after coming back from down 0-3- PRICELESS!!)

As a Yankees/Giants fan, I am not happy about Tom Brady going down. I am not happy about Manny being traded (We should be able to beat them with or without Manny). I don’t like it when our team has a better chance only because the other team loses a player.

We should not be so gleeful that the NFL lost one of it’s best players this season.

Another thing is… why are we coming down so hard on Curt Schilling? He is a guy with opinions just as we are. He’s entitled to those. Fact is… he’s a great pitcher. So what if he wore a Sox uniform.

I find it hysterical that you deplore performance enhancing drugs, yet dont bring up the fact that the Yankees 4 championships in the past 15 years, are all tainted by steroid and HGH users. Dan Naulty, former Yankee pitcher, testified in a deposition that DEREK JETER, the Yankee Captain and cornerstone of 4 championships, used HGH and steroids trying to keep pace with the great power hitters of the time. The article was in the April issue of the Sporting News if you care to read it!
All 4 starting pitchers from the 2000 world series were named in the Mitchel Report. I don’t even have to get into the Giambi’s, the Sheffields, the A-Rods and their alledged and admitted use. You arrogantly call the Patriots cheaters because they filmed opposing coaches calling signals from their sideline. It is perfectly legal to film opposing coaches calling signals. The only rule the Patriots broke was they did it from a non designated camera area-That’s it! That’s all they did. The Jets had their cameraman thrown out of Gilette stadium the prior season for doing exactly the same thing.
Now you tell me what is more igregious-having your cameraman filming in a non designated area out in the open (it’s not like he was hiding in the stands filming the coaches…he was right on the sideline) or having half of your team and your entire pitching staff using performancing drugs? The Yankee titles are far more tainted than any of New Englands superbowls.

And to your assertion that the Patriots cheated by filming the Rams “walkthrough” in the 02′ Superbowl was proven false also. Matt Walsh, the man who leveled the accusations, said he had the tape and when Goodell asked him to turn it in, he could not produce it. He was a disgruntled former employee who was fired looking to cash in on the media hype. It may be the most overblown story in sports history, and I’m not saying that because I’m a Patriots fan.
I bet Reggie Bush is spygates biggest fan. The story completely overshadowed the fact that he was accepting money as a player at USC and his father had accepted a house from an agent.

Giant/Yankee, the Yankees did a pretty good job on the Red Sox the last series of the year, didn’t they?
