Two scoops with jimmies

Bill:
Here it is Tuesday and yet I'm still mouth agape in wonderment that, yeah, we are going to the World Series again.

 

---

Mike:
Oh me too. And I swear on the baby Jesus that I'm nevah going to treat a trip to the World Series as a birthright like some fans of anothah team that shall remain nameless.

 

---

Bill:
Speaking of our Spankee siblings, they're making themselves scahce these days, huh?

 

---

Mike:
Well, I have been getting quite a few congratulatory emails from Yankees fans.

 

---

Bill:
Oh, I'm sure.

 

---

Mike:
Yeah, all "Congratulations" and "good luck" and "Oh, BTW Go fuck yourself. I hate your Sux and hope that on the way to Denvah their plane crashes in the Rockies and is not found until the snow melts in the Spring and you discovah half your rostah has been eaten by the other half that is now traumatized and sociopathic."

 

---

Bill:
Heh.  Seeing Yankees fans in torment is such a delicious added bonus to going to the World Series.

 

---

Mike:
Absolutely.  It's not only the icing on the cake but also the jimmies on the ice cream.

I had a few MFY fans I know still talking shit about how we were going to lose to Cleveland just like they did.

They're so quiet I can hear the crickets chirping now...They must be drunk on whatever sour grapes Garko didn't finish.

Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

It's like a light of a new day,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true-.

Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

[louclinton]

Well, said. My only quarrel is that MFY Fans are not nearly as clever as to come up with that whole "frozen like a Carvel birthday cake" scenario.

They are more likely to take one of several tacks:

1. Can you count to 27?
2. "puzzare da fare schifo"
3. something about a curse
4. "sgualdrina" [directed to the pink hat crowd.
5. "Oh My Gawd. Rogah Clemons is standing in Gawge Steinbrennah's Bawx"

see you in the series.

You got that email too?

I have a feeling that the entire team could survive by eating Dr. Charles alone.

[Harwich Rich]

Nice pick up Bill :)

[NolaSox]

On my drive this morning, I saw a Yankees hat on the side of the interstate. That's loyalty for you. I still have my first Sox hat circa 1976 with my name written in my childish print and another that I got from some gas station promotion and later got water damaged when my roof blew off my bedroom.

[Tarrkid]

Re: Sox hats...

You know your loyalty is unfailing when this happens... I'm eight years old, in the front passenger seat of my parents' Ford LTD wood-sided stationwagon, Sox hat on, like it always is. We're driving from Gloucester to Ipswich on 133, headed for Goodale Orchard, and I stick my head out the window.

My Sox hat flies off and I shout. Probably said something an eight-year-old isn't supposed to say. In my mind, I can see it flopping on the side of 133, and then more cars coming by and running it over and tearing it up and you know, making Fred Lynn catches in the backyard isn't going to be nearly as much fun without the hat on, and...

...and my brother hands my hat back to me from the back seat. It flew out the front seat window and into the back seat window, smacking him in the face (bonus!).

See, Sox fans can't get rid of it, even if they wanted to. It sticks with you. And am I ever glad it did.

[TribeFan]

What, no thanks to the Indians for giving you guys TWO gifts this postseason? Geez, that's gratitude for ya.

[Billy Mahty]

Honestly, I'm still looking forward to seeing the Sox lose in the W-S. [cue evil laugh]

[tessie]

"On my drive this morning, I saw a Yankees hat on the side of the interstate."

I guess you passed the jumping off the bandwagon point of the highway!

[tessie]

'What, no thanks to the Indians for giving you guys TWO gifts this postseason? Geez, that's gratitude for ya.'

We'll send CC another cupcake. Thanks.

[Colin]

No wait guys...it gets better. Seems like Fux Sports (no typo there) and Ken Rosenthal still can't seem to actually praise the Sox for once.

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7365076?forum_key=StoryComments&topic_key=7365076&page_no=32

Bunch of bitter fuckers is what I call 'em. That and having to read shit-kicker Pats/Sox haters claim all of New England cheats. Go fuck yourselves. Hey Dallas, how'd that FG from Denver taste? Hey Jets, still sucking? Thought so. Hey Pittsburgh, tough break kid.

[Hoof]

Hey, most the Spankee fans I know are being good sports....lol...Yeah right...

However, I wanted to know if anyone else notices how the Playoff fans at Fenway seem to suck compared to the regular season Fans....I mean Its like I'm screaming at my TV telling them to get up off there asses..Its 2 K's and 2 Outs...Show some support....I hate Posers that come out so they can say...I was at the that game when ...errr....Whats his name hit that homerun....Ahhhh...Let me get a ticket to a playoff game sometime...they should do interviews before they sell those tickets...Was a bit too quiet at times for my DIEHARD blood....

Oh yeah...and how did Jerry Springer get those homeplate seats for 3 game sin a row?

[buckner was framed]

Tribefan- and Gagne will deliver the cupcake. There. We're even.

[brnscofrnld]

Kinda sucks when the tix are going for something like 7k for one box seat...

Would be nice for them to offer tickets only to fans that actually showed up for the regular season.

[tessie]

Nice pickup, buckner!

[rightsaid]

Just as I figured would happen: Red Sux fans turning into MFY fans. I guess you guys should be referred to as MFRS fans, 'cause there really ain't that much difference between the two of u...well, except for the lack of numerous championships, of course.

[buckner was framed]

"Nice pickup, buckner!"

Now THERE's an ironic comment that ever was posted

[tessie]

I wanted to be obvious enough so that Yankee fans might even get it!

[tessie]

rightsaid and tribefan has the same email address...hmmmm.

[K]

"The jimmies on the ice cream."

THAT'S what I'm talking about!

[wowyourewickedsmaht]

Can't get anything past you, can I tessie. You know how to mouse-over! Good for you.

[Bob]

//there really ain't that much difference between the two of u...well, except for the lack of numerous championships, of course.//

Let's see...Red Sox, 6 titles (going for their 7th), Indians, 2.

Go tend your midge farm.

[Tarrkid]

Can I just say that I HATE that everyone else wants to call them "sprinkles"?

They're JIMMIES...

That thing over there is a BUBBLER...

You turn on your BLINKER...

Grr...

[notevenanindiansfan-haha]

Hey look tessie, same email address here too! Go White Sox!

[tessie]

Just good at smelling trolls, that's all. Don't you have a white towel to go cry in?

[HeyBob]

way to keep up - White Sox won there latest in 2005. And you know as well as anyone else that it doesn't matter what the rest of the league does, what sticks in your ass is that you will ALWAYS be second to NY.

[notthatgood]

No, I wouldn't even say that, it was pretty simple. I thought those white surrender flags were stupid too, so you got nuthin on me. Go White Sox!

[Bob]

Got a good book for you TribeFan, RightSaid, Wowyourwickedsmahrt, Notevenanindiansfan, HeyBob:

http://www.amazon.com/Sybil-Flora-Rheta-Schreiber/dp/0446359408/ref=pd_bbs_2/104-5810951-8723146?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193152309&sr=1-2

Oh, BTW, we certainly weren't second to NY his year. And unlike Chicago, at least we don't feel inferior to Milwaukee.

Now, we shall ignore the troll, lest he continue to defecate from his pie-hole.

[illegitimate son of dwight evans]

Wow, somebody's awful uppity. Nothing says "my team isn't playing in the classic, but I'm going to be classy about it" like going to a Sox site and whining at the readership.

Nothing wrong with Cleveland - they just didn't have the team, and the pitching, to get the job done this year.

[h.b.]

//Nothing wrong with Cleveland...//

Well, not counting the beards, of course.

[Kaz]

Indians fans are Cubs fans without the security blanket of a goat or Bartman to latch onto at night when the darkness comes.

[Scott]

Speaking of beards. I scared everyone during Game 2 by going off on a drunken tirade concerning the stupid playoff beards worn by Cleveland. Playoff beards are for hockey. The wave is for football in the 80's and Fenway in the summer. Simple rules people.

Rockies are screwing their "fans" by selling tickets on the interwebs only. So the brokers all over the country will have dibs rather than the real "fans". Server crashed yesterday after 8-million hits. Are you kidding me! What a bunch of cheap fuckers in the Rox front office.

[Kaz]

Papelbon, doing the dance.

[lc]

In re: trolls.

Do. Not. Feed.

[tessie]

Thanks Kaz. Pap has lots of energy, doesn't he? I'm tired from watching him.

[Kaz]

Boston has non-Red Sox fans?

Oh, 0 comments. I guess that make sense now.

[h.b.]

Re "BostoniansNotRedSoxOrBaseballFans" I don't think there is anything I dislike more than people who want to decide what is the "right" way to live, i.e, "Don't buy that hot dog or spend money on the Red Sox!! No, no, no, do what we tell you to do because it's the RIGHT THING because we said so. Otherwise you suck. Oh and BTW the pediatric nurses hate you too."

Fucking fascists in disguise.

[jamesfrmmaine]

Guys Guys OMG did you see this guy on Monday night football last night?

Please check this link it is hilarious.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpnPlpBvHu0

I will never look at thundersticks the same again!

[pudge]

I am not so much happy to be in the World Series. It's not like I feel it is a birthright or anything, but I've been waiting for the WS all year. The prize is still four wins a way.

I was totally stoked after we sealed Game 7 in the 8th, but my jubilation died quickly, as I looked forward to Wednesday. Let's get it on!

[Rock]

////Nothing wrong with Cleveland...//

Well, not counting the beards, of course.//

Or the fact that Cleveland is such a shithole that they once managed to catch a river on fire? Not standing water like a puddle, but a moving and flowing river.

Now, THAT is a cesspool.

[h.b.]

That was funny. Love the crazy shit people come up with.

[Bob]

//Fucking fascists in disguise.//

Tell me about it.

I despise these people who bemoan the fact that some people like sports while the "world is going to hell and what about THE CHILDREN!!!!"

You know, I can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Once, I even bought playoff tickets AND donated money to the Katrina Relief Fund.

Imagine that.

[yazbread]

There are some happy folks in Cleveland. I have to believe that Mark Shapiro's shiksa was relieve that she did not have to go to any more ball games.

[pinstripe thunder]

Speaking of discarded caps by the side of the road... somebody must have picked up a helluva lot of RS caps tossed aside in `05 and `06, cuz there are a TON of new caps on the board this week. Am I the only one who noticed the 800-pound elephant on the bandwagon?

[louclinton]

Glad to see that Rockies' ticket-selling technology is about as fan friendly as hacksaw surgery. I'd go out there if I could buy tickets for under 10x face value.

lc

[tessie]

Rock,

I live in Cleveland and the incident you referred to happened over 30 years ago. Cleveland and many other cities have since cleaned up their acts. The place isn't perfect but I've never been anywhere that is.

[h.b.]

Yeah, considering that one of the popular songs associated with Boston and the Red Sox has the lines,"Well I love that dirty water/ Oh, Boston, you're my home," it's a bit ironic to give Cleveland a hard time about the Cuyahoga.

[louclinton]

Best to leave CLE alone. Something tells me we'll see more of Pronk and the crew in future years.

As for Denver, they may win this series, but their chance of facing the Sahwx in a future series are about as good as [insert name of barely legal female movie star] coming through my door right now and [insert foul, but gratifying, physical act].

let the Denver pileonathon begin. have we lost our game picking on poor old hapless Cleveland? We have an entire half of the Continental US to slice and dice.

your welcome.
