Wait, it's Kansas City as in Kansas City, Missouri!?

yeah, the stadium rent is much cheaper on the trashy side of Kansas City.... we call it our team, we just keep it in their state.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Ohhhhhhhhhh okay. So, Kansas City is like 1/2 missouri, 1/2 kansas? Isn't St. Louis kinda like that?

[dmbgodagirl41]

Nice!!!! Can't complain about that! :thumbsup

Hells no, especially since on my corner I might only take home 250 on a good night.

[thebestauntie]

Wait, it's Kansas City as in Kansas City, Missouri!?
Kanas City both MO and KS are pretty much the same gigantic city. They are interconnected and unless you were from the area you wouldn't be able to differentiate between the two.
Ohhhhhhhhhh okay. So, Kansas City is like 1/2 missouri, 1/2 kansas? Isn't St. Louis kinda like that?
No, St. Louis is furthere east (I believe) It's about 4 or 4 1/2 hours away from KC.

[seekupig]

Ohhhhhhhhhh okay. So, Kansas City is like 1/2 missouri, 1/2 kansas? Isn't St. Louis kinda like that?

yeah, there's a Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, Missoui. the stadiums for the Royals and Chiefs are on the Missouri side, the nice places to live and shop are on the Kansas side.

I don't think St. Louis shares a border with another state. i'm pretty sure it's bordered on the east by the Mississippi River, otherwise it probably would.

ahhhhhhh okay, cool.


does St. Louis share between Missouri and Illinois or something, though? Maybe? Maybe I'm making that up.

Yes, St. Louis is on the border of Illinois, yes.

another win!!!!

[dowling25]

This team is so streaky. Lose 5....Win 5....lose 5....win 7 etc.

I hope we can do well on the west coast, it always seems like we struggle over there for some reason.

[atannenbaum]

Hey guys, I don't know if it's cool to post this or not, but there's a great Red Sox forum with over 3,000 members that I helped start 4 years ago. It's http://www.talksox.com (http://www.talksox.com/). There are game threads everyday, rumor mills, Celtics/Pats chat, and some seriously smart sports fans over there. If it's not okay to put this link up, let me know and I'll remove it. But I know there's a lot of BoSox fans over here. (Non Red Sox fans also very welcome)

[hoefdj18]

two grannies and we still, almost lose. fucking bullpen.

[groton]

well Oakland tonight.

one good thing I get to watch the end of the game after work.

[kjam1988]

Red Sox in siiiiix!

[groton]

Red Sox in siiiiix!

remeber when I said I would not beat your ass at Alpine well I lied.

;) Now run boy run.

[dowling25]

Well Wakefield is getting his shit rocked! I hate when that happens. As I write this Pedroia goes deep which is nice.

[dowling25]

As Clevland says "That's nasssty."

Bad game.

[dowling25]

ugly game again.

[dowling25]

Not much action in here for the past couple days. Only me, where are all the sox fans!

Anyways Lester struggling and were not hitting again. Boo

[thebestauntie]

That and we're concentrating most of our efforts on the Celtics ;)

[dowling25]

Whew...I was beginning to sweat.

[dowling25]

Wow just terrible. I'm not surprised no one is posting in here. That is just terrible way to play on the road. 1-5 on the west coast.

[devilandthelord]

Quote of the week
From Charles Barkley, of all people, on Jon Lester's no-hitter:

"If it was against the Royals, it should only count as half a no-hitter."


Haha, gotta love Sir Charles.

[chr35919]

May 28 DH David Ortiz is leading all American League players with 556,567 votes for the All-Star Game and is one of five Sox players currently leading their position in the voting. OF Manny Ramirez, 2B Dustin Pedroia, 1B Kevin Youkilis and C Jason Varitek are all leading the American League in All-Star voting at their respective position, and could represent a Sox-studded lineup during the All-Star Game at Yankee Stadium.
booyah

[thebestauntie]

Manny finally hit 500!!!!! :multi:multi:multi

Oh, and the Red Sox won. ;)

[DavefaninNZ]

booyah

This is why I hate fan voting. I haven't been paying too much attention this year unfortunately (:o) but I do know that Ortiz shouldn't even sniff a chance at the all star game. It really annoys me when big stars keep getting on, even though they may have terrible starts, or are on the injured list. But, what can you do? :shrug

He's leading DH's in Home Runs and RBIs, why shouldn't he have a sniff?

[dowling25]

Great for Manny, but I couldn't watch it cause I was at a friends house and I knew he was going to hit it the one night I don't watch a game. That pisses me off!

[jmudmbphan]

He's leading DH's in Home Runs and RBIs, why shouldn't he have a sniff?


because hes hitting ~.250

[jmudmbphan]

booyah

sweet..all that means is you guys have a lot of bandwagoners.

[JimiKimo]

because hes hitting ~.250

So leading DH's in HR, RBIs, and runs scored, third among DH's in batting avg. and second among DH's in total hits = not even deserving a sniff of a chance to be in the all star game??? I dont get the reasoning.

[jmudmbphan]

wellt o be honest, i didnt look up the other DH's stats...so, if all that is true, yeah he deseves a sniff. But he's still having a shitty season. Apparently the rest of the DH's are too, which gives him a decent shot.

[Tiduwho]

Cubs vs Red Sox world series?

[jmudmbphan]

:lol

[DavefaninNZ]

He's leading DH's in Home Runs and RBIs, why shouldn't he have a sniff?

Ok, I didn't realize he has 13 home runs at the moment and I take back my comment. As for my original point about fan voting, he's the leading vote getter in the AL. I guess that's my problem with it. It shows how skewed fan voting is and always has been. Why can't fans just be more objective about voting?

[dowling25]

because hes hitting ~.250

Well that is true he is hitting .250 overall. However for about a month or more he has been hitting well over .300

He is in the top 5 in the AL in HR, RBI, BB, 6th in Runs. I would say he is doing a lot and is being pretty darn productive.

sweet..all that means is you guys have a lot of bandwagoners.


This statement also makes me laugh since the Yankees are easily the team in baseball with the most bandwagon fans. And fans who just like them because they used to be good, or they like that other people like them so they chose too.

[Crush086]

I know I'm a couple of days late with this and all, but

congrats to Manny on hitting 500.

But................










........Boston still sucks. :D

Not even close.

Right now, the Red Sox have WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more bandwagon fans than the Yankees could even think of having.

People hate the Yankees, and only started loving the Sox since they won in '04.

That's fact, plain and simple fact.

Edit: As proof of this, I want you to tell me when the Red Sox started becoming the biggest road draw in baseball. Hell, the other night when Manny hit that homerun #500 it looked like fucking Fenway with all those idiots standing up with their hands in the air jumping around cheering, not Camden. There's no argument. Before, only people from NE loved the Sox, now everybody in America thinks it's cool to root for them.

Way more fashionable to like the Sox right now, no argument.

[templeofdmb]

^^ That's because fenway has been sold out for like 460 games in a row. If Sox fans want to see a game they have to travel.

Even though I pretty much hate you, etc. etc., I agree with this for the most part. I root for Boston because they have Manny Ramirez. I am a lifelong Manny Ramirez fan, and being from Detroit, that wasn't always easy when Manny played in Cleveland. Trust me. Once Manny is no longer a member of the Sox, I won't root for them anymore. i will be neutral. This is the same reason why I root for the Patriots. Because Tom Brady went to Michigan and I have always liked Brady. Same reason why I will root for the Miami Dolphins this year: Jake Long.

But I agree that Boston, as an entire sports fanbase, has a very large number of "bandwagon" fans. Although, there are a number of Detroit Tigers bandwagon fans that came out of the woodowork in 2006 when they had that improbable World Series run. Suddenly everyone was a huge Tigers fan. Fuck em. I always asked them how many games they attended in 2003 when the Tigers lost 119 games. They ususally shut their mouths after that.

Carry on...

This is true, which is why there will always be bandwagon fans for every team. This year's Tampa Bay Rays are going to be a prime example of that. I will always love the Tigers, even if they go back to their old losing ways.

Piss off.

That would be the Boston red sox. But since there is no way to measure this, its a pretty pointless argument. However, the sox have so many bandwagon fans...moving from the East Coast to California....its copmletely evident..sox hats to yank hats are like 5:1

Or maybe everyone there was happy to see history take place too. That is a possibility. Not only that but Yankees draw just as well on the road so that means shit that the Sox have a lot of fans on the road.

Way more fashionable to like the Sox right now, no argument.

I would have to say that you saying everyone hates the Yanks is false. I know that Yankees gear, hats, shirts, or whatever out sells any other teams in the league. So by that it would seem that it is more "fashionable" to be a Yankee fan.

[dowling25]

Doesn't sound good for Papi or at least the pre game report made it seem like that at least. News after tonight's game.

[thebestauntie]

Manny hit another one!! He's now at 502. Looks like now that the pressure of hitting 500 is off he's back on track! :monkey:monkey

[scoobycc]

Ortiz is out for a month, maybe the season.

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1098262

[thebestauntie]

Man that sucks!

[DavefaninNZ]

Thats terrible news. And to think, Nomar never was the same when he had the same injury.

So, assuming he's out for the season, who should the sox trade for, and who should they give up? I need to have a think about it for a bit. I can't really evaluate anyone outside of the red sox this year. :(

[scoobycc]

I say the Sox bring up Jed Lowrie and Brandon Moss, go with Manny/Moss, Jacoby, and JD in the outfield. That puts Manny and Moss at DH and LF, with Lowrie a versatile infield bat off the bench.

No knee jerk reactions over this. If Ortiz is out for the season, maybe another good bat will need to be looked for. His production will not be easy to replace, however. (Barry Bonds?? Trade for Dunn or Griffey Jr.?)

Coco needs to go anyways, I just see no room for him on the roster in the future.

Should be interesting. The Sox have been EXTREMELY lucky the past few years as far as injuries go. It was bound to happen sometime.

edit: and find some dumpster to stick Lugo in.

[ProudestAnt]

Here comes the package for Griffey...

[LaDude]

Sign Bonds.

[scoobycc]

Sign Bonds.

I would love to see this...if just out of morbid curiosity. Besides, it won't cost anything but money. No prospects. And please...let him inject himself with something so he is game ready instantly.

And I would love to get a Bonds jersey to keep my Gange jersey company.

[PurpleShamrock]

True story.

The Sox have recently taken over as the team with the most band wagon fans. I hate to admit it but it's true


The Yankees USED to have the most bandwagoners until a few years ago. And luckily a lot of thugs buy those random colored Yankees hats more than other teams, which is why so many Yankees hats are sold. (I see more camo, etc Yankees hats on thugs than I do other teams)

And for the record I HATE bandwagon fans.

I hate when I bump into a fellow Sox "fan" at work who claims to be a diehard fan (like last year) when I said man Im stoked about Buchholz getting called up, and I get a "What? who's that?"

The Rays are where the bandwagon fans of now are though.

[dowling25]

Wow I didn't think he'd charge the mound. That was pretty exciting.

[rickyh24]

I forgot they started early today. Who charged the mound?

[dowling25]

First pitch nails Coco on the thigh. He looks down and then throws the helmet off and charges the mound Shields threw a huge right hook that Coco dodged and Coco then kind of got a little hit on his shoulder/side of face. Then he just got taken down and Gomes and Crawford had about a dozen cheap shots on Coco. It was pretty intense. Definitely will replay that on Sportscenter tonight.

Sweet, I love baseball fights, the only downside is the chance of one of the guys getting hurt. Speaking of which, did anyone get hurt? Who got tossed?

edit: coco obviously

[dowling25]

No, but right now ELLSBURY just made a great catch, however he got hurt. Rolled his wrist and it didn't look to pretty. Not going to be good I think.

FUCK

[rickyh24]

yup Ellsbury going down sucks a big one.

Whew, not too bad. You can't help but think of what happened to Matsui a few years ago when he did the same thing.

^ i was at that game..and it was nasty

[dowling25]

Whew, not too bad. You can't help but think of what happened to Matsui a few years ago when he did the same thing.


Well it still didn't look good at all. I wouldn't be surprised if he missed a few games or be put on the DL

[DavefaninNZ]

Well it still didn't look good at all. I wouldn't be surprised if he missed a few games or be put on the DL

I'd rather take "15 day DL" than "out until september." :thumbsup They might've dodged a bullet though. As someone mentioned earlier, the sox have been relatively healthy the past few years, its bound to catch up sooner or later.

:lol How are those cheapshots? you charge the mound punching and if someone punches you back its a cheap shot? that makes no sense..

[DavefaninNZ]

^ I think that was just in regard to the fact that Gomes wasn't even on the field when Crisp charged the mound. Navarro tackled and pinned Crisp, and Gomes came from the dugout to get his shots in. Props to Gomes for protecting his pitcher, but really, Crisp has no way to defend himself, so I can see how it can be perceived as cheap.

Also, what's up with Manny and Youkilis? Had to be separated in the dugout?

[Whiteyxc514]

yeah i wanna know the details about Manny and Youk...on Baseball Tonight they said that Francona said they had some differences in ideas or something

[specialkd24]

whoa...update on ellsbury...

Link? I didn't think so. No sources are reporting that.

Go back to your thong-wearing DH's.

:lol How are those cheapshots? you charge the mound punching and if someone punches you back its a cheap shot? that makes no sense..

If the two involved in the fight have been separated, and one of the guys is pinned to the ground, and then gets punched...that is a cheap shot.

What was the deal with the Youk / Manny fight?

What was the deal with the Youk / Manny fight?

I love nothing more than seeing the Sox fight amongst themselves. That made my weekend for sure! :lol

[Crush086]

That was actually pretty fun watching Coco start that brawl. It was one of the better brawls I've seen, because someone actually got hit. I hate the Sox, but that was pretty cheap of them to try and get those cheap shots in. It still made me chuckle though. Funnier when he called them girls afterwards too.

And as far as the Youk/Manny fight, Manny got tired of tossing David Ortiz's salad and wanted some dick, but Youkilis wasn't sharing, so they got into it.

.........and..........




........Boston still sucks.

What cheap shots are you referring to?

[Crush086]

What cheap shots are you referring to?
My bad, I didn't specify the team too well. I was in a rush to insult Manny and Youkilis (typical, right?)

I was talking about the Rays catcher (Navarro, I think) getting the hits on Coco after he hit the ground. That and Carl Crawford's (might be wrong no him too. I was on the verge of falling asleep when I watched this, but it caught my attention long enough to know it was Sox/Rays) elbow drop.

Edit: Yep, I think it was Jonny Gomes that threw the punches on the ground. I was looking at pix they had on Fox Sports' website.

Yes, very typical :rolleyes

Thanks for clarifying. :)

[rickyh24]

Yeah the 4 guys piling on top of Crisp was a little much. That what happens when you decide to charge the mound. He should have just sucked it up and took the base. He got hit in the thigh for crying out loud. Its not like he got plunked in the face.

And he had all but asked for the throw the night before during the post-game interview. He knew it was coming. If they fine and suspend Gomes, they should definately fine and suspend Crisp too.

I thought he did more than enough with that nasty slide the other night.


On a side note, what's the deal with Paul Pierce? Carried off the court for a sprained knee he was jumping around on? Dude lost his man-card last night.

[Crush086]

And he had all but asked for the throw the night before during the post-game interview. He knew it was coming. If they fine and suspend Gomes, they should definately fine and suspend Crisp too.
He'll get the biggest fine/suspension for number 1, starting the fight, and 2, for doing it in an apparent pre-meditated fashion.

Comments after the game are still great though. Fighting like girls, that made me laugh really hard...

My friend just got drafted by the Sox. Ryan Westmoreland. I played against him last year and the year before

[thebestauntie]

I don't know Gomes came in from the Dugout.
But Crisp practically planned it, I mean he told them to throw at him the night before in a post game interview. That's pre-meditated. I consider that more severe then jumping in to assist a team mate.

[dowling25]

Lester?????what the hell was that for. That was the same amount as Gomes

[DavefaninNZ]

^ Its not entirely unfair. It just essentially means that he misses one start. But apparently, from what I read, its still a bullshit suspension because he hit crawford with a breaking ball. It probably wasn't intentional.

he won't miss a start, it will just be pushed back a day. an extra day of rest won't hurt.

i think the sox may offically be on the top of my hate list now.. there is just something about them that makes my blood boil when i watch them.. even on highlight clips.. maybe the whole point that they think that they are a gift from god? or they are on every night? or maybe that they never shut up about them on espn?

move aside yankees.. we have a winner



and this whole "nation" thing.. yeah.. gay (especially when the guy on sportscenter says it)


just my 2 cents... and i know i will get hell for it.. but the WHOLE nation.. no..not your gay nation.. but the nation hates everyone in Boston and your teams.. and the yankees of course :)

and oh.. who charges the mound for a pitch like that? maybe if it was at his face.. but the side.. geeze.. if i was a pitcher.. i wouldnt want to throw inside to any of your players.. you may get shot.. or in philly.. a snowball thrown at you ;)

Boston just won their first in 80 years (i believe it was 80)

so why does it being an old hat matter?

well.. its cool you guys wear the same hat for years.. shows you liek them.. but when the hat is falling apart.. time for a new one

For one the Phillies division is terrible so that is probably why nobody cares because it is not a good division. All the teams are terrible so I guess you can be happy with whatever your record is for that division.

I love it when people come in here to bash the sox.

Last night at Busch for the concert I went into the bathroom and a guy had a Yankees cap on and I couldn't help myself. So I just said the Yankees suck go Red Sox.
He responded with "Fuck the Sox."

I finally said Oh I guess you are still a little crushed from 2004.

He said "Let's not talk about that"

And that was the last thing he said, so for the rest of the show I was feeling pretty satisfied.

Check that I mean we need to get rid of him when we play the Orioles.
Orioles 5.1 innings 9 hits 8 ER's

Everyone else
21 innings 1 ER

Hmmmm. Francoma doesn't understand that he can take pitchers out before giving them more and more chances to blow it which he did again with Okajima tonight. That was very frustrating.

JUST TAKE HIM OUT.

Good victory tonight.

Don't worry Jolynn, you'll be just as impressed with Ellsbury and Pedrioa. ;) And Manny is available for pinch hitting, so who knows, you might get to see him. :D

Have a great time at the game (but not too much fun, if you take my meaning). :lol

[dowling25]

Yeah Ortiz is gone for sure. And Manny would possibly start but more than likely he'll just PH.

And finally winning a series on the road is good to see.

Curt Schilling says he’s out for the season, and his career may be over.

The 41-year-old Boston Red Sox right-hander said Friday on radio station WEEI he will have shoulder surgery next week.

“My season is over and there is a pretty decent chance I have thrown my last pitch forever,” he said.

Oh c'mon, as much of a d-bag as he is, without him, the red sox wouldn't have won in 2004. For that alone, he will always be on my list of favorite sox players.

I don't understand the short term memories of boston fans. Foulke is another one who was practically driven out of town, yet without his epic performance against the yankees in 2004, the sox would not have made their historical comeback. Foulke, Schill and Pedro should be immortalized in Boston for ending the championship drought. Boston fans think they have the right to shit all over them for a couple of ill-advised comments, a lack of performance, or for taking more money from another team. Then the fans have the gall to boast about the championships that "we" won. Give me a break.

Had to repost this in here just to give you all a laugh. :)

I actually think I stunned a few people with my take on the rivalry and luck. I checked into the hospital the other day and they gave me that nightgown and a pair of those totes socks with treads on the bottom. They were wheeling me to the operating room and I made them stop in the hall. I showed them my Yankee charm and told them to take my socks off. Told them there was no way in hell I was going into surgery with red socks on. Seemed like bad luck. I thought the nurses and techs were going to fall over laughing but they did it and went and grabbed me a navy blue pair. All went well so I am crediting the sock change. :lol

He still got a nice contract extension and will still get paid and not even throw one pitch. I love what he did the past few years but this situation still sucks. Especially if he knew about the arm problems when he signed on that line.

Yeah, I guess, but I still think fans should cut him slack because of what he's done here. Its not like it has been this way for the entire time. I mean, he's no Carl Pavano or Rocco Baldelli.

[jmudmbphan]

hes worse than pavano...he signed a deal knowing full well he was injured.

[DavefaninNZ]

hes worse than pavano...he signed a deal knowing full well he was injured.

Please, $40 mil 4 year deal and 15 wins? Injuries just kept "popping up?" Worse deal ever by far.

If schill signed and he knew he was injured, sure, that's detestable. But its only one year, $8mil (I think) and Im sure the sox got insurance. Really, no skin off their back.

Whereas I remember reading an article about Pavano and it implied that teammates, yankee staffers and front office people questioned his work ethic and drive to get back healthy. For 4 years that went on! 4 years of Pavano would piss me off more than 1 year of schilling.

agreed, 4 years and more money is worse..

however..i made my statement under the assumption pavano didnt know he was hurt when he made his deals. Schilling taking a years pay KNOWING he was hurt is worse than pavano meeting a bunch of bad luck after his deal...imo.

and by worse, I just mean dickhead move.

Especially Varitek, 1 for his last 20 something? No wonder Mauer passed him in All-Star voting. Fuck Varitek. How's that? We need a new goddamn catcher...

This Sox logo is probably going to clash with my wall motif but damn this is a cool picture to have. It is one of five items in my baseball memorabilia collection that references your damn team. Still, can't help but respect the man. :lol

Hehe! I am planning on framing it and putting it up next to some other stuff. Have a cool shadow box frame for it waiting on delivery. :)

Lot of fun stuff going back to the 1920's. Someday I have to photograph it all and start a site with pictures. May be predominately Yankee stuff but I can imagine even a Sox fan has a tough time hating guys like DiMaggio, Mantle, Gehrig, Maris, Rivera, Berra, Ford, etc, etc.

I think outside of two Ted Williams autographed pictures the only other players not on the Yankees that I have autographs from are Willie Mays, Dom Dimaggio, Tom Seaver, and Mike Flannagan (yes, I know he is a nobody but he was damn cool to a friend of mine and I, took us into the visitors bullpen when he was with Baltimore and signed some stuff for us.)

I have nothing but respect for those guys mentioned. :thumbsup Plus you know me, I like the history of the game too. :)

Wow! With the Celtics in the Finals and going to 4 Dave shows in 6 nights I’ve been neglecting the Sox! I feel like I haven’t watched a game in weeks! We got a 4th of July afternoon game with the Yanks coming up too! That will be nice to watch on a day off!

We were on the second page...the Hawr-ror!!! :ugh


Fuck Varitek. How's that? We need a new goddamn catcher...
And are you serious?? I KNOW you have a plethora of baseball and Sox knowledge under your belt so I'm not challenging you but I am wondering why on earth anyone could say this?? He has caught the most no hit games in MLB history! Learn me up friend!

Oh hey, look at me, my name is Man-Ram - I'm going to punk an EE of the club I work for about a ticket that I could buy 40,000x.

What an idiot.

Further proof that the man is unsettled.

Oh wait, I'm sorry, all is forgiven and let us never speak of this again.

Ah, thanks Ricky.

Shawn Chacon does something that is marginally worse and gets released.

Just Manny being Manny huh? Christ. :rolleyes

From the Boston Herald 6/27: Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez chatting up an 8-year-old fan whilst dining at Whole Foods with his fam. (Manny, upon hearing that the boy could never go to Fenway Park because he had a severe peanut allergy, dashed out to his car and grabbed a bunch of Sox stuff, which he signed for his little fan.).

Yeah - what a jerk that guy Manny is.

[dowling25]

Well the Sox are certainly playing like shit right now. Great time to decide to start struggling!
