I want to be David Ortiz when I grow up

[WilliamPitt]

Game-winning hit...series tied...Pedro on the mound for game 5. I love David Ortiz. From 3,200 miles away I love him.

[Caution]

1. And this post puts me at number 700!

I'm in the 700 club because I BELIEVE!!!!!

[HEyHEY]

2. And I hear he makes a mean Irish Stew

Ortiz you rock!

[Blouson]

3. I hate the damn Red Sox

All these years all I ever hear about is the what is happening with the freaking Sox. Is there any doubt the sportswriting community is heavily biased toward NY and New England? God, I get sick of this. You'd think the greatest moment in sports history was Fisk's 1975 homer. But it wasn't even close. There have been a dozen more important hits the past thirty forty years.

[HEyHEY]

4. That kind of talk makes me not want to say...

Welcome to DU

[JohnKleeb]

5. lol

YANKEES SUCK
:) I am ABY lol, I am an Orioles fan honestly, if I had a choice between the Sox and the Yanks, I would choose the former in the heart beat. Remember children: YANKEES SUCK lol I even yelled that last night even though it was irrelevant hehe.

[HEyHEY]

6. The year the D-backs won

I was watching the game in my apartment in New Brunswick...my roommate HATED the yankees. And NB is an hour ahead of the Eastern US..so it was like one am....when the game was won he started yelling.


The next day the neighbours asked me what was up cause at 1:00 am all they heard was "YES YES YES FUCK YOU YANKEESSS FUUUUUUCCCKKKKK! YOU!"

[JohnKleeb]

8. I always will hate them

YANKEES SUCK
YANKEES SUCK
YANKEES SUCK
What is it in the twins and yankees, who is winning, I hope not the bastards.

[HEyHEY]

9. nill all last time I checked

[Loyal]

11. WTF

lol, I love the yankees :(

[JohnKleeb]

13. dont worry about it

I dont hate their fans, I just hate them lol. Stupid Jeffrey Meier and how the media made him in to a hero. *walks away grumbling* Its ok Loyal I just hate the yankees lol like I do the GOP. lol.

[HEyHEY]

16. Hey sports is sports

hate the canucks if you want...but I'd prefer if you didn't!

[WilliamPitt]

15. wah wah wah wah

26 championships weren't enough for you? Whiner.

[JohnKleeb]

19. I want more lol

I hear Steinbrenner actually may fire Torre, the last time the Yanks got a wildcard my O's were in first place :). 1997 hey yanks at least the indians beat us legit, and didnt have a stupid kid in right field who screwed it over. lol heh. I even said YANKEES SUCK at the dance last night, lol I was bored so I said it only once.

[Old and In the Way]

34. Well, you'd be hard pressed to convince any Red Sox fans

that that moment wasn't the greatest....

BTW, I was accross the street at the Cask and Flagon that night....it might have been the happiest night of my life....

[Braden]

38. name 12

[maveric]

7. Ortiz is being considered for MVP honors this year.

He has done more for his team than any other player in the league. Big hits at critical point in the game. The man has just been coming through bigtime!
Before that hit he was 0-17.

[MaineDem]

28. I want to know what his wife promised him for hitting a triple

:evilgrin:

I think I can guess. He was all embarrassed and giggling when asked about it a few months ago. And then didn't he go and hit ANOTHER triple!

He was due today, for sure. But so is Manny.

[jfxgillis]

10. Um, David Ortiz is too much of a

cuddly goo sweetheart of a nice guy.

Would you be able to handle that, Will?

:^{)

[Loyal]

12. Will:

The curse, the curse, the curse. :)

[Bluzmann57]

14. GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!!

I refuse to give up hope. Kerry Wood is pitching tonight and I don't think the Braves can hit him. At least thats what Cub Nation is hoping. Again, GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!! And hopefully the Red Sox or A's will beat the #@*! Yankees.

[polmaven]

30. The curse has been taken care of...

This is October, and the official Salem witch, Laurie Cabot, cast a curse removing spell last week.....We're all set now!!!!

[NicoleM]

17. Super.

And when you play for the Twins before you go to Boston, could you please NOT SUCK??

[Loyal]

18. You're right, Nicole, they

aren't doing great right now, but I'd like to see you pitch to the Yankees lineup. It's not so easy.

[Red_Storm]

20. HA, HA, So Typical ...........

of you pathetic red sox fans.....the moment game 4 ends and what do you think of? ....the Yankees, of course.........If by some miracle the red sox win tomorrow........OH MY, it's going to be so wonderful and joyful to see the red sox fans CRYING after their pathetic team loses and is eliminated ONCE AGAIN by the Yanks.......



LET'S GO YANKEES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MaineDem]

26. You know

It's attitudes like yours that make me want to dislike Yankee fans. However, I don't. I just dislike the team.

And now I'm pissed at myself for responding to your goading. It'll never happen again.

I hope you're as bad to Republicans as you are here.

[Red_Storm]

27. I'm not goading.........

i'm responding to all the red sox fans' trash talk........or is it only ok when it's a red sox fan goading ........

[NicoleM]

21. You missed my point.

David Ortiz did jack for the Twins as DH. He moves to Boston and people start talking MVP.

[WilliamPitt]

22. Jeff Bagwell

[Red_Storm]

23. It wasn't directed at your comments..........

LET'S GO YANKEES !!!!!!!!!!!!

[NicoleM]

24. Yeah, I know

Am I typing in Chinese or something in this thread? I was replying to Loyal's comment. See, it says "Response to reply #18." Your comment was #20.

[Red_Storm]

25. .........

:wow:

[Braden]

37. we're not nominating him for 2002 MVP.....

Career Highs in AVG, Hits, HR, Slug PCT, RBI

MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP

[VelmaD]

29. What a fun game that was?

Was listening on the radio on my drive home from Dallas. Nearly ran myself off the road hollering and bouncing up and down when Ortiz got that hit.

I'm having a really good weekend sports-fan-wise. All my teams have won so far. The Cowboys, Texas Tech, UT, the Sox. Now if the Twins will have a miraculous comeback against the Yankees life will be perfect. :)

[proud patriot]

31. Well I want Chavez's Golden Glove

:*

[MaineDem]

32. Man, he's good!

I swore at him a few times during this series. :)

[JohnKleeb]

33. lol

Nice comeback in the series btw. Remember the deal for next year lol, you guys get first and we get the wildcard.

[MaineDem]

36. Sounds like a plan, JK

And we'll go to a game during the convention, too. :)

I'll try to find a preliminary schedule to see what team will be in town during that week.

[JohnKleeb]

39. If I can make it

ok. I really want to go to Fenway. I am not sure how I plan to get there, chances are it could be via train. I got to see Boston. Sounds like a great town. Its gonna be hard without a car but I would rather go by train honest, why? because not as long and maybe even more affordable. However the draw is that I would have a hard time getting around. Is this in late July? Please Please it better be because then I may have a chance to get my license by then. My objective is to have my license my next fall.

[MaineDem]

41. Convention is July 24-29

And once you're in Boston you won't need a car. You'll actually be better off without one. You'd just park it - for a price - while you're in the city.

[JohnKleeb]

42. July 24 I will be damned

Thats my birthday. ABY remember that lol. Well if I dont need a car maybe I can go via train.

[Braden]

40. that guy is a vacuum over there.

[Braden]

35. the Heart of this team

his warm Hug to Walker after his 6th inning Homer was just so cool. Real Men, wearing it on thier sleeves.

#34 is THE Man.

[Neecy]

43. yeah, yeah, yeah

Despite the gruesome play of the last two days, I think tomorrow is going to be a dogfight.

And one thing is for sure - we won't be at the Net mooing "Ped--ro, Ped--ro" like a bunch of jerks.

Okay, as you can see I'm bitter. We have a new curse, given that two runs were within a few feet of home plate with the ball in play last night and both players JUST FREAKING STOOD THERE and let themselves be tagged out: The Curse of Jeremy Giambi. Home plate for the A's is cursed.

And yes, the Yankees do suck.
