Boston Red Sox In The World Series

Again. Anyone taking bets?

 

Yeah, you're right. St. Louis sucks.

actually, St. Louis is a great team that is formed in much the same way as the Sox. I'm hoping for a great series.

 

As a member of the Nation since 1978, when I lived there, let me say that I'm glad they re-made the roster and got this far. For the first time in almost two decades, the teams with their respective leagues' best records made it to the WS. St. Louis is a great and deserving champion, and it would be no dishonor to lose to them. But it would be great to win, too. The team, not the Nation. We just watch.

Now, if something could be done about my Padres....

 

I have paid virtually zero attention to baseball since NCAA football kicked off on Aug 29th and didn't even know the Red Sox were going to the World Series until I saw this thread.

 

Game 1 tonight.

 

So it's 1 and 1 with game 3 on Saturday. I watched all of game 1 but just could not stay awake for all of game 2. To me it seems these two teams are well matched. With both teams into their #3 starter in the pitching rotation I'm thinking that this next game is bound to be a higher scoring affair. The Bull Pens will decide this game - that's my prediction. GO SOX!!!

 

I know that the world is just veryveryvery tired of Boston winning everything. I feel your pain.

BUT THE BOSTON RED SOX JUST WON GAME FIVE AND WILL NOW RETURN TO BOSTON FOR THE NEXT GAME(S).

The idea that St. Louis ( a very good team) will win 2 in a row in Boston is just redonculous. GO SOX!!!

 

Yes well it's quite predictable that no one took my bet about the Red Sox winning the World Series. It's clear that all of degreeinfo is a member of REDSOXNATION and so never even considered raising a doubt about their ultimate victory.

RED SOX WIN!

 

I can understand the "Hate Boston" thing. The success of the Red Sox, the success of the Patriots, the success of the Bruins . . .
If it's any consolation, the Celtics are probably going to be pretty bad this season.

 

MC, this is just for you. You'll love it. It's an essay that appeared on the website of our friends at barstoolsports.com Warning: F-bombs ahead


"Last night, for the first time in 95 years, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series at home in Fenway Park. Fuck the city of Boston, in general.

Boston is not a good city.

Fuck the Boston Red Sox. Fuck your dirty beards. Fuck your scrappy-band-of-sailors persona. Fuck your iconic little ballpark. Fuck the big green wall in your outfield. Fuck the people wearing Red Sox hats, particularly pink ones. Fuck your undeserved underdog attitude. Fuck your celebrity fans. Fuck your regular fans. Fuck your riotous celebrations.

Fuck all of New England. But in particular, Boston.

Fuck your reputation as a center of learning. Fuck your colleges and universities. Fuck your swarms of students. Fuck the hyper-intellectuals, the frat boys, and everyone in between. Fuck MIT. You could have gone to Caltech, where it’s sunny. You fools. Fuck Harvard. Fuck your cozy book stores. Fuck Cambridge. Fuck the bridge you have to cross to get there. Fuck rowing in the Charles. Fuck that as a pastime. Get a better pastime, jerks.

Fuck Boston (the band).

Fuck your regional food specialties. Fuck your tendency to claim all of Irish immigrant culture as your own. Fuck movies set in your small regional city. Fuck your accent. Fuck the Puritans. Fuck Samuel Adams. Fuck Paul Revere. Fuck the entirety of your celebrated colonial history.

That was a long time ago. Get over it.

Fuck the Big Dig. Dig it, already. I’m so sick of hearing about your stupid hole. Fuck your talk radio stations. Fuck Tom Brady. Fuck your bleak and desolate winters. Fuck the poor bastards in all of the surrounding states who are forced to rely on you as the only real urban center in close proximity. I feel for them. Fuck your museums. Fuck your bus station. Fuck your aquarium. I can’t believe you imprison fish in such an awful town. Fuck your floating “Duck Tour” vehicles. What’s wrong with driving on the road? Why do you have to drive in the water? Why are you always making things complicated?

Fuck Cheers.

I have some dear, dear friends from Boston. Great people. I love them. I would not want them to read this and get the wrong idea. It’s important to me that I take a moment to make this point to them: Fuck Boston.

It’s too cold there. Who needs it?

Boston people get mad when you say these things. If I said this in Boston, I would probably get my head beat in. Fuck your violent tendencies. That’s mean. I’m a person too. Fuck your denial of my humanity. Other people in Boston try to over-intellectualize it. “You’re not even giving any real reasons,” they whine. “You’re just saying ‘fuck’ things. You don’t even make sense.” Jesus, the whining. Always the whining and arguing, from Boston people. Can we have one conversation that doesn’t have to be all about you? Fuck your self-centered inability to admit that your enemies are correct. Try seeing it from the perspective of the rest of the world, for once. Put yourself in our shoes. Now think about Boston. Come on. Seriously. Come on. Really. Come on. Boston. Really now. Boston?

Come on. Boston?

No."

 

Now that's the way to rip a city.

But can't you just feel the envy?

 

"Anger is a poison we drink hoping it will kill someone else."

Go ahead and drink it baby.:heart:

 

Sorry MC, but the Patriots just beat the Packers 55-31.

But nobody should get upset about it
Of course Boston rules
Surely everyone knows this
This fact is self-evident
Of course there are always the delusional . . . .
Never listen to them as they know not what they speak

See you in the Superbowl.:umbrella:

 

And here I thought Cleveland ruled.
