I am not a yankees fan yet I can't hate them for spending since any owner can do the same if they wanted to or had the resources to.

And btw, Florida winning wouldn't be much of a problem for me since they beat the cubs.

Either way, not many people wanted to see this world series compared with the redsox cubs ws.

Maybe someone can refresh my memory, (rudey) but who is up in the series? Oh yeah, thats Marlins 1, Spankees 0.

Marlins in 6.....

Yeah ok Mister Marlins fan from Florida...oh wait not really from Florida? oh ok mister bandwagon fan. yessirreeeee bob we gots ourselves a genuine bandwagon fan heir.

and if you are from florida then i really am a monkey's uncle eh?

No, I'm not from Florida, not really even a Marlins fan - just a pure-bred Spankee hater.

as stated in a previous thread, its funny how now everyone is rooting for Florida. Isn't this the team people hated last week?:p

Personally the marlins did me a huge favor by beating the cubs so I have no preference in the WS.

andy is the best pitcher ever! the yankees are kicking the marlins' butts right now!!!!!!!!!

Spankees, that's witty. :rolleyes:

Yankees 6 Florida 1 :) :D :cool:

That's because no matter how much you might hate any given team at any time, the Yankees are always worse. ;)

My temporary hate for the Marlins is overshadowed by my perennial hate for the Yankees.

Ditto!

I only wanted the Cubs to win because one of my profs would have cancelled class during the series. Since they didn't, I hate the Marlins, however, I think the Yankees are not nice all year, therefore, Go MArlins!

I'm totally all for the Yankees! Those darn Fish beat my Cubbies and for that i will never cheer for them!:mad:

I'm right there with you!!!

:p to the Marlins!

You must be one of them bitter slackjawed yokels boy. We beat the Marlins. I sat in a sweet seat singing foul sounds about the Mets and Red Sox because beating the Marlins ass so bad got a little boring by the 6th inning.

--Even if you hate them, just accept reality and realize they will win...again...and again...and again.

"slackjawed yokels boy", have another my friend.

Yankees tied er up, so I guess we're back to ground zero.

Marlins in 6.

I must agree that Boston did give the Yankees an excellent run for their money. Great playoff!!!!!

My fiance is a die-hard Yankee fan, I'm a New Yorker - my loyalty lies with the Yankees!! :D :D

Agreed.

I LOOOOVE My Yankees! I mean shoot, I'm from the BRonx- it's like a religion out here!

I gotta say though, the World Series is almost an afterthought for me- most people around here were just so focused on the Yankees-Sox games that this is almost anticlimactic.

You're not American if you don't cheer for the Yankees.

-Rudey
--Yankee doodle dandy my friend...that is all I have to say.

Theres only one Americas Team, and thats the Packers.

'nuff said

marlins in 6

I totally agree - can you imagine someone from the Bronx who's not a Yankee fan?? I would feel really sorry for that individual.

I also think that the Series will wind up being anticlimatic. The Yankees-Sox playoff was off da hook!! :)

Yes I can! One Soror who grew up off of Gun Hill Rd, yet is somehow a Mets fan!!!!!

I dunno how that one works....

We had a seriously fun rivalry going during the subway series though. That was SUCH a good time to be in the city, lots of energy all round. We went out and she wore her Mets shirt and I was in my Yanks apparel, natch. People were pleading with me to show her the error of her ways, lol.

me me me me!! i know! my dad, who grew up there and was a brooklyn dodgers fan and is now a red sox fan!!

She's a Mets fan - how did that happen????
Lol @ people wanting to show her the error of her ways. :) The subway series is always fun!!! :D :D

Seriously the Yankees are why so people I know quit watching baseball.

Just QUIT IT ALREADY and make it fun again! It's so boring now!

You cannot blame the Yankee's, just the fact that money has ruined the sport. Plain and simple.

If by ruining you mean more people now watch the sport, players aren't exploited by owners, and the game has become more competitive then maybe.

For those Red Sox fans who will never say 'Die!' here's something from the Weekly Standard:

Red Sox Lose Recount

:rolleyes: :p :) ;) :D

the yankees won again!!! yea!!!!!!! the world series is now
2-1:D

Rudey: Marlins in 6

I don't recall how many times I have said that in this thread, but, Marlins in 6.

Spankees suck

That message brought a tear to my eye ZZ.


Well done.

I just noticed this post - funny isht, we need more Rob Deers, hitting under .200 and bashing over 30 home runs.

You forgot about Teddy Higuera and Gorman Thomas.

Congratulations to the Marlins.

I still love my Yankees! :D :cool: :)

Stormin Goman baby! Thats good $hit!

Haha, I knew you'd like that.

I gotta respect the fact you know your baseball, even if you hate my team.

True baseball fans - there just aren't as many out there as some people would have you believe.

Yes, baseball - Americas pasttime, have to love that! Its not so much that I am a Marlins fan, because I am not - I just don't like the Yankees all that much. Man, their history is awesome, lined with many of baseballs greatest - but sometimes its just not fair. You'll never see the Brewers, Devil Rays or the Expos in the Series unless they can get some cash. Until baseball does something about that, you'll see the Yanks. deep in the playoffs every year, and that gets borrrrr-ing.

Congrats to the marlins.

Speaking of money, will Billy Beane ball ever work in Oakland? It almsot seems as if everything has to go right for a low spending team to win it like Florida has.

You win. I am pretty upset with the Yankees and think they didn't work hard enough. Whatever, I'll wear black and my little section 39 pin on Monday.

--Yeah I thought about it and no I'm not dedicated enough to do that.
