Team of the Decade

[Xenophon]

actually the majority of the 26 championships happened after TV was around

thanks for playing tho

What a fool. Let's say Color TV.

NBC made the first coast-to-coast color broadcast when it telecast the Tournament of Roses Parade on January 1, 1954.

Yankee Championships Before and After 1954:

After: 10

Before: 16

A great amount? Yes. However, the majority of your championships happened before color television.

And who has more after color TV, your big selling point?

Nobody.

You seem to think two wins reveres 8 decades of failure, and somehow it is worth more then 4 WS appearances and 2 wins.

This is why we all say you are a child, you just have trouble with grownup stuff.

Your post makes absolutely no sense. Do I think two World Series wins make the Red Sox better in my eyes? Yes.

Even if they didn't win, they're still the Boston Red Sox and I would still root for them. Why? Because I'm not a bandwagon fan and I grew up with the Red Sox. I don't need to root for the casino persay like Yankee fans practically are.

Also, 4 WS appearances and 2 wins? Once again, you're assuming the Yankees have this locked. Don't count your chickens just yet.

 

[Xenophon]

Aaron fucking Boone beat Boston.

Thanks to the single dumbest non pulling of a pitcher in Red Sox history.

Alan Embree and Mike Timlin were reared up and ready to go and sporting a combined 0.00 post season ERA.

Grady Little is a fuckchop.

Look at the brightside, it got him fired and brought in a good manager, Francona.

No. We're saying IF the Yanks win, it would be tough to put Boston ahead of them for the decade title. In fact, Yanks would certainly have the upper hand.

Grownups understand it fine lil guy!

Xeno didn't say If however. You are, he isn't. I agree with you though that if the Yankees win that it would be tough to put Boston ahead of them for the decade title.

And teh white flag comes up for the puppy.

Go back and reread the thread son, I said the Sox would be it if NY losses this series, Andrew said it was red sox or phils in that case.

You were so busy showing your immaturity you missed it, and again made a fool of yourself.

Says the mature guy who can't get over the fact that the Red Sox will at least tie the Yankees for rings this decade.

I haven't been around before the invention of color television, so maybe I have a slightly different outlook then you. I was born in an era where almost everyone my age was a Yankees fan because that is when they finally began to win again (late 90's). I was a Boston fan and a proud one. Did 2003 hurt? You bet your ass.

Yet, that makes me just more of a fan. It take balls to stand by a team like the Red Sox or in Elvis's case the Cubs. It doesn't take any balls to stand by a team like the Yankees where it's basically like going to the Casino and rooting for the House to win.

So do not tell me what I do and do not know. I've felt disappointment as a Red Sox, I've felt triumph. But you know what? That's being a Red Sox fan. You win some, you lose some, and sometimes it all just goes to hell. I've told plenty of my friends that being a Boston sports fan should come with a health plan.

So go ahead, celebrate what the Yankees won long before I or most of the people on this board were born. Seriously, it's no skin off my back. However, don't expect me to take you seriously when you want to have a current discussion of this decade.

If the Yankees win this decade, would it be tough to not choose them for best team? Yes. However, if all you do is look at statistics like you and Andrew seem to be doing, then you miss a huge part of the game.

there was no curse. once the red sox figured out two important concepts, they started winning WS.

first concept: black players are good. the sox were the last team, i believe, to have a black player.

second concept: good pitching beats good hitting.

the curse was a funny idea, but there's nothing to it.

i do agree that grady little is a fuckchop, however. when he left petey in and jeter (?) got that bloop single, i went to bed, secure in the knowledge that the sox had found a way to fuck it up again.

I was referring to the post that I had quoted that Elvis responded to. Even if the Yankees did lose, Andrew seemed all but ready to make the argument that the Yankees were still the best despite his words. However, I believe him if he says otherwise.

Yes, yes they were.

If Philly wins, wouldn't Boston get the decade title because they've been to the playoffs a lot more?

You are being childish again son.

I would have rooted for the Red Sox had the Yanks been out, simply because it means something for Del, A15 and a few other folks I like to win.

Yankees have had 7 titles in my life and 13 WS appearences, I stopped living and dying over that years ago, its something that comes with maturity which is why you don't get it.

It depends how you look at it. If Philly wins, they got their own little dynasty going.

this is how dumb you are...when I said that statement it was a joke I was having back and forth with Article about how moronic and pro yankee ESPN is with the exception of Joe Morgan

Try to keep up

 

[Andrew2382]

I would say so

Phillies have 3 NL east divisions in a row

but only 3 playoff appearances

However 2 world series rings back to back is pretty impressive...but Sox have had the better decade all around playing in a much better league..so I'd prob give it to the sox

When you have the luxury of having such a thing, winning a world series does mean a little less no? I mean for example, if the Cubs won next year, it would probably mean more to Elvis than maybe any of the last 5 Yankee titles have.

Besides, it's all fun in the rivalry to root against the opposing team. I get along with plenty of Yankee fans. Heck, we watched some of the playoff games together. Unlike how it is between me and you often or Andrew and I, it's fun spirited.

Though I am just lucky to have broken even so far on the inning betting. Thankfully the Angels did win Game 5.

No NL team since the Reds in 75-76 have won back to backs, and its only happened three times in NL history.
