"Let's Go Red Sox!"

[Slagathor]

Are you saying that you are a better fan than me because I like the Red Sox?

I don't even know how to respond to that kind of nonsense.

If you ever make it to a Pats game please come down to Row 9 in Section 135.

I'm a better Patriots fan than you by a longshot.

I don't just "kind of like them".

Lemme guess, you bought Celtics season tickets too this year. Just as trendy as it was buying the Pats tickets in 1992.

As far as coming down to see you, I'll just wait till after halftime at any game I go to. You'll be gone since it'll be imore mportant that you beat the traffic and I'll just take your seats.

Pasionate fans. Gotta love 'em

Wow, you're really f-cking stupid. The Pats won 2 games in 1992 for a grand total of 9 wins in three years.
Yeah, he's a real bandwagon fan.

 

[Slagathor]

Wow, you're really f-cking stupid.

Hey Porky....baseball games over. Time for bed.

I'll get to listen to your ilk crying on EEI all day tomorrow.

 

[Porco Rosso]

Thanks, I've obviously been online and didn't know it was over.


Was that supposed to hurt me?

It was trendy buying Pats Season tickets in 1992? The Pats went 1-15 in 1991.

The "I kind of like them" post I made was sarcasm. You are one of the reasons I don't post here very often.

I can doubt he got them in 92.

I'm sure 93 is more accurate.

You don't "kind of like" the Pats and decide to buy season tickets during a horrible season. That makes no sese.

They showed Derek Lowe getting the final out on the scoreboard. Were you at the beer stand or taking a leak when that happened?

Who in this day and age brings a radio to the game?

I probably blocked that moment from my memory, I honestly don't remember them showing anything on the scoreboard other than score updates. But I will guarantee you they didn't show it while the football game was being played. No way. During a timeout perhaps.

You're kidding about people taking radios. There were people all over the place with radios checking on the baseball game. That's how that cheer erupted when McNair scored.

Dude...you swore at me first. Am I wrong?

What can I say, mission accomplished.

Whatever dude.

Can you name the Coach of the Pats in 1992 without going to google?

1992-2001: Section 111, Row 5.
2002-Present: Section 135, Row 9.

Are you still in High School?

No I can't. You rule.

Bruins are starting to look good.....you might want to get some tickets. High trendy-ness factor.

As long as Schilling, Ramirez, Lucchino and Epstein are employed by that organization, and its goofball ownership remains in place, the nonsense will perpetuate.

The irony is, you obviously follow the Red Sox and know a lot about their players, management and ownership -- which I don't. I haven't watched a baseball game in years. Which is why the occasional stray mention of baseball doesn't bother me any more than any other off-topic item. Because baseball isn't important to me.

If this were really about keeping the board "pure," I wouldn't mind...but it's not. Statements like "the sooner we get Boston baseball culture put in its rightful place, the better" show that it's something else. It's an anti-baseball crusade, which is off-topic in a football forum. Baseball talk is off-topic (and has its own forum); political talk is off-topic (and has its own forum); cheerleader photo spread talk is off-topic (and has its own forum). And anti-baseball rants are off-topic too.

It becomes a problem when a thread like this one, which was about something that happened at a Patriots game, attracts the inevitable venom and devolves into yet another pro/anti-baseball pissing contest. (Wouldn't a discussion about the atmosphere in the stands late in the game have been better?) So how about this: I promise to move any threads I see that are actually about baseball. But can everybody try to restrain themselves and not take the mere passing mention of the Red Sox as a call to arms?

Sorry Ma'am.

They showed the Sox win on the scoreboard right after McNair scored. It was weird timing by the Pats A/V department.

Can we agree to disagree as we were both at Gillette that day?

 

[Gainzo]

No I can't. You rule.

You have issues mate.

 

[BradyManny]

I root hard for the Sox and the C's, too. I'm not sure how that could possibly make me less of a Pats fan...still, there's a Sox forum here, this thread might as well go there...

 

[FrontSeven]

What a f.cking surprise that this psychopath would rush to chime in. Do you have an alarm on your computer that goes off whenever someone mentions the Red Sox?

I used to get into a wad over the Red Sox but I've come to realize that they are a part of *life* here, and you would have to be compartmentalized to not see it or enjoy it, even if you don't sit there and watch it.

In fact, I'll throw in a vote of admiration for Tito Francona for the job he did managing them this year. With a far different personality than Bill's he did basically the same thing Bill would do in managing a lot of injuries and unbelievable fan and media pressure to play guys that he felt should be rested and held out.

And he ended up being right. That took balls. Big big balls.

They are intense athletes too. I don't really care about them much, but still, I can recognize that they're pretty damned good at what they do. And they are the region's team. If you go up to Maine you'll find rabid Sox fans all over the place.

I see nothing wrong with fans crossing over to support each others' teams. I don't have a lot of patience with this "football is the only sport" mentality. Bill Belichick doesn't feel that way. He and Tito are friends. It's pissant fans that pretend that baseball is evil.

Well, OK, it's a little evil. Hehehee.

You've got a deal!

According to slagathor you are not worthy of being a Patriots fan as you support other teams who don't play football!

I would think that as moderator, the TITLE of this thread would've been reason enough for you to move it to the baseball forum. You could have predicted in advance the ultimate course it would take by virtue of its very placement in the football forum -- especially considering that there is a baseball game happening tonight!

There is nothing at all "ironic" about my knowing about Boston baseball; in fact, as a football fan dedicated to following the Patriots, it is practically impossible to avoid. THAT IS THE POINT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE HERE.

Patchick, if I was on an "anti-baseball crusade," as you so cutely put it, you'd find me posting in the baseball forum. This thread has nothing to do with Patriots football, it has to do with a baseball chant at a football game. It is yet another example of encroachment by arrogant, ubiquitous Boston baseball culture into yet another area where it does not belong and truly is not welcome -- by the Patriots players and many of their fans. If you can't see this for what it is, you need to Windex your spectacles.
