For the record, I've always been a Sox fan since I live in New England (the hick part).
If I was born in NY I'd probably be a Yankees fan. I can't believe I spoke in the first person and said "Yankees fan". |

Yea I didn't think the Sox where going to win the series after going down 0-3. Thats why I was saying all that stuff. Once Foulke struck out Clark in game 6, I don't know, I just knew it then. though Clark hitting a homerun woulda been a "classic Yankee" move, but it didn't happen. Once that happened I started to really believe The Sox were going to win this shit, and they did.
And about Francona, he changed in the last 4 games of the series. What I said was, he wasn't using his bench, he was managing scared. Once he got to the point where he had nothing to lose, he started doing the samethings he did during the regular season, and look what happened. He started putting guys with speed (Roberts) to pinch run, and Roberts scored a tieing run in one of the games, the last 2 games he has put Dougie Fresh at 1st at defense and he made an unbelievable scoop play. Also, I know Rivera and Jeter are still clutch, I was just pretty hyped. Ortiz was the most clutch player in this series though...SENOR OCTOBER hahah |

LC, good work... we can rematch the bet next year.
Jeter is, was and will be clutch... I'll say it again, I'd take him on the Sox in a heartbeat. A-rods getting a lot of crap, and gammons had some interesting stuff to say... about how his own players though the hand slap was bush league and it also changed the momentum of that game, how he yelled at Schef for not going head first into Teck, but A-rod would do it either... how a coach from texas called gammons and said "now the world knows what we were dealing with". It is one of the biggest comebacks in sports history, I think it's only happened twice and both were hockey? |

Actually I think VEL was the only one that had any kind of faith left that the Sox could still pull it off.
And Stima, I understand where you're coming from.  Now, onto this: Quote:
Now, onto other sports. Baseball - Braves fan since the mid 80's/since I've been alive. Check. Football: College - Die hard Alabama fan. Have been since mid 80's/since I've been alive. Check. Pro - Packers fan since I've been watching. Die hard Packer and since they got Peyton, a die hard Colts fan as well. Check. Now, Braves have one world championship. Alabama one National Championship since I've been alive. Packers one super bowl victory and COlts none. So...uhh...what?

Edmonds striking out with the bases loaded on two inside pitches was pretty huge I thought.

The Braves have won their division every year for over a decade including one World Series. Thats a team that is perennially good.
If I'm not mistaken you live in Alabama, so thats legit. Green Bay is known as TitleTown USA, if that doesn't spell it out, they are perennially a winning team. The Colts have been so close to going to the Super Bowl for the past year or two. They are widely regarded as the second best team in the AFC. Just because theres not tonns of championships doesn't mean they aren't good teams. Its not like you are jumping on a new bandwagon each year, like the Marlins last year and the Jets this year or something, but obviously the teams that you have chosen to cheer for are perennially good teams, you can't deny that, but you can word things so that it looks like you can

I've been a Packers fan since I've been watching football. I started liking the Colts when Peyton joined the team, so that's the only one you can call me on I guess? I wouldn't call it because I was a Peyton fan when he was at Tennessee (although I hate Tennessee, which was kind of weird cheering for Peyton but cheering against TN, heh), but I'm sure people looking at it would. Doesn't bother me. Not like I went from liking Nebraska to liking Miami to liking LSU, which I know some people who are like that. Those are the type of people I do not like.

Bellhorn came up huge once again, he played like shit early on in the playoffs but now he is picking it up. |

The Braves are (probably) the closest team to where he lives, so that is understandable. Plus he started liking them in the 80's, before they became perenially good.

Outlaw does like some random ass teams but I don't blame him. Its not like there is pro teams in 'Bama, so when why would he like some random garbage team like New Orleans Saints or something? Yeah he does live closer to them then say the Packers but so what, its not like its the same state or anything.
I dont see how you could be a Peyton Manning fan though, he must torched 'Bama a few times in his career haha |

Yeah, Peyton tore us up when he was a Sophmore and a Senior. We beat him as a freshman and almost beat them his junior year. That was the only game I wanted him to get sacked 20 or so times. |

Yea I honestly don't know who I'd like if I didn't live here. I was born in Boston, so I like all the Boston teams. I kinda think you have to though, if you live in Boston your whole life and you are one of those dickbags that likes the Yankees or something...that is just disgusting.

See, I'm a homer... always have been... but I always have "secondary teams".
Pats, Celts, Red Sox, Bruins. Saints - Liked them more in the 80's, when they had that great LB core and all the QB's w/ close to the same name. Spurs - Liked them when they drafted Robinson before he could play, looked at it like the Celtics and Bird. Pirates and Stros - My little league team was the Pirates and I was a Van Slyke fan (Rod Carew was or is my all time fav player) and they had some good teams that chocked in the playoffs. When Vanslyke retired I started following Biggio and liked the Stros. Red Wings - No for all the stars and trophies.. followed them for one reason and one reason only. Bob Probert. and I've rooted for the home teams through good and bad. Anyway, back to the subject. 1 down. 3 to go. |

Wake did well and then the knuckle stopped knucling and got hit hard.
we won a shoot out tonight. Now, the cards fans will say "we scored all those runs, w/o are 2 best hitters getting a hit" Very true. on the flip side sox fans will say. "We won, using possible our #4 pitcher" Schill goes tonight, Pedro game #3, Lowe if he keeps pitching like the last 2 games... the pitching just keeps getting better. |

Since we're on the subject,
I only like two NY teams and I've lived in NY for my whole life. The Jets and The Yanks. Hockey, I like the Pens because when I first started getting into hockey, I liked Jagr because he was Czech, like myself. Basketball: Like the Bulls when I was really young (like 4th grade) because they were winning all the time  Total Bandwagon jumper there. Then, as I've said before, during the NBA Finals with the Suns, I became a Suns fan and have cheered them ever since.I also like the Nets, but not as much as the Suns. Funny I never became a Knick fan, although I am starting to like them more and more. I'm a big fan of Marbury. Last edited by Loose Cannon; 10-24-2004 at 01:47 PM. |

I like Boston because they entertained me when I was first getting into baseball, and I was originally interested in the Yankees. The Yankees started pissing me off, so I just went solo with liking Boston. Now I
 Boston.Its like you have to like the Colts in Indiana, and I do, I just know they are gonna choke. |

While watching last night's game I couldn't find myself cheering for either team over the other. I was happy for Walker's performance, and also happy for Boston winning. Maybe if it keeps up like this, it would be the best senerio for me. Walker the outright MVP and Boston winning.
Sucks not having a favourite in the finals. |

WOOO. If the Red Sox were an album, they would debut number 1 on the Things That Are Awesome Chart, and Number 3 on the Modern Rock chart.
But seriously, they are gonna have to fix their defense if they are gonna win in St. Louis. 8 errors in two games is unacceptable. On the positive side, Bellhorn has been fantastic this post season, and I love any game where Damon scores a run. |

The Sox are in a good spot. Hopefully they can win in a game or 2 in St. Louis. A swept would be nice but it's just not going to happen.
