Right on the stupid fuckin' Red Sox.
Now he is gonna be the Shitz for the Phillies.
Why is it that so many Red Sox players who are beloved stars seem to leave in Free Agency.
Roger Clemins. Wade Boggs. Johnny Damon. Now Papelbon. They leave in the prime of their careers when they have so much left to give. Maybe Red Sox nation is not all that it is cracked up to be.
You don't see Posada or Jeter or Mariano doing that.
The only exception was Petite. And of course he was a left hander.
By the way;
BOSTON SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's get this thread going!
ReplyDeleteHow do the Yankees do that voodoo that they do so well?
ReplyDeleteI really liked Pettite....he reminded me of older Italian Yankees like Lazzeri or Crosetti.
ReplyDeleteWent for a tour of Camden Yards yesterday. They asked us all who we were fans of.
ReplyDeleteWell, the World Champion New York Yankees of course. They even have a statue of the Babe there [they claim he was born in Baltimore, or something - something must have happened there once.
Tank, the St. Louis Cardinals are the World Champions right now.
ReplyDeleteI am sure everyone groaned when you uttered that statement.
No, the Yankees are always the World Champion New York Yankees.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we let others use the label for a short while.
It's just PR. Gotta let them win a few to tamp down the riff raff.
So how many on the tour groaned?
ReplyDeleteNone, we were in the majority.
ReplyDeleteNot only that, it's cheaper to drive to Baltimore, catch a game with the Yanks, stay in a nice hotel, eat out, etc., than to buy "good" seats for four in NY.
Oops.
ReplyDeleteYou can get an excellent seat there for $25-$45 with waitress service.
Really.
I am sorry but Boston if fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI find this posting outrageous and am deeply offended.
Tits and Clouds.
is, not if.
ReplyDeletetits and clouds.
Titus, This is clearly a Boston hatey hate site. Full of hatey haters.
ReplyDeleteAlthough not as hatey has the N.Y. Yankees, punishing their fans with game prices so high, it is cheaper to drive from New York to Baltimore and go see the game there.
It probably does those fans good to leave the shitty Bronx and visit Baltimore and think, "Wow this is nicer than the Bronx, and the crabs you catch here are at least delicious."
ReplyDeleteYes, Fred, I agree. It's hard to bridge the divide to haters, especially Boston-haters.
ReplyDeletePeople have thought for a long time Boston is too arrogant and self-important. I don't know about arrogance, but I'll grant you self-importantance. After all, this is the Athens of America, and, well, we're generally better than you. That isn't arrogance. It's just a fact.
Our superiority rests, however, on a different, more abstract, pure plane of existence than most of the rest of humanity are aware of. That's why we are a City on a Hill, a Beacon to Mankind. If you don't understand that, you are obviously not among either the elect, as the Puritans might have said, or the enlightened, as Mr. Emerson and subsequent generations of spiritual adepts have understood it.
So, the Red Sox may be a perennial second-place team in ordinary, mundane terms. But their spirit, and that of Red Sox Nation, lifts them to a higher plane, one in which mere standings are relegated to the coarser sorts of earthly concerns.
I have been contemplating writing a short book on this. I think I shall call it, "The Wonders of the Invisible World," and I will be pleased to let you know when it is available from Amazon. The Kindle price will be $9.95, which is a genuine bargain when you consider all the spiritual benefit you are certain to derive.
When I was still a teen, on my own, & eager to see the world, I saw the East Coast cities as flyover cities on my way to Europe.
ReplyDeleteI spent a year in Boston one afternoon when I was on a cruise. We saw lots of highlights. The crumbling house of Paul Revere. The North End which smelled like the south end of a horse. Faneuil Hall full of overpriced crappy food stands like a year long San Gennero's feast only with out the guineas. Of course the Big Dig! And the most famous landmark in Boston: The Citgo Sign. What better symbol of Taxachuesetts can there be than a sign for a communist gas company.
ReplyDeleteIn closing there is only one good thing you can say about Boston.
It ain't Philly.
I've been to Boston twice in the last year- I rather like it. I got big inspiration walking alongside the Dirty Water.
ReplyDeleteClits and Touds
Boston has really hot guys. Hottest in the country. All fags know this to be true.
ReplyDeleteThey all come here to get some Boston hog.
But it's definitely bitchy hog.
Combine the Boston nastiness with the fag attitude and you have big time trouble.
Baltimore is quite nice.
ReplyDeleteA good place to beat the Orioles.
Actually, Boston is a good place to beat the Sox too.
It's all good for the World Champions in perpetuity.
Goes Deep, Wang Hurt.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when people laud copycats: link
ReplyDeleteTank, good think A-Rod was there to help you be world champions this year...oh wait, not.
ReplyDeleteAnd this is for Ritmo, in case he's lurking here.
ReplyDeleteI'm in a fowl mood again.
It is very hard to win every year. The Yankees made the playoffs but fell short.
ReplyDeleteMainly because of A-Rod. Most Yankee fans hate that he is on the team.
The problem for other teams is that you have to hate everyone on your team.
The Red Sox are overrated, over praised figments of the imagination of eltitists from Ivy League sinkholes who take time out from destroying our country to slum at the baseball game.
ReplyDeleteThey are like Woody Allen movies, Russian Novels and sculling.
Not for real people. Only snobby douchenozzles. Just sayn'
And by sculling I mean rowing on the Charles River not getting a blow job from a disembodied human skull.
ReplyDeleteJust want to clear that up.
Although I bet that Titus's fondest wish would be to scull Ted Williams if he could defrost him off of the Tuna Fish can.
ReplyDeleteI thought scull 'n' boners were Yalies?
ReplyDeleteHere is the offending comment: link
ReplyDeleteI really shouldn't even read EBL.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to fall off the wagon or get run over by the bus.
I think it is a test of willpower.
ReplyDeleteI know people always stop to look at car crashes and other catasrophes. That's why you still have Mets fans.
I have been lucky so far that I am very busy and haven't had time to slum the cockfights over there.
Stay strong brother.
chickenlittle, what exactly was offending about those comments? Obviously there is more too it and I just do not know what it is. So it is not making any sense.
ReplyDeleteThe only cockfights I like are the ones involving poultry you bet money on while in Asia.
ReplyDeleteNow Titus might be able to expand on the cock fights he likes.
Here is a movie documenting a cock fight at Althouse's comment section...
ReplyDeleteCaution, it may cause you to suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
@Fred: Have you never told an original joke somewhere which somebody else then latter repeats and then somebody else says "cool"?
ReplyDeleteAlas, as with all jokes, timing is everything.
So bascially those guys stole your good comments and put them out as their own? Copying is said to be the best flattery, but if you take someone else's ideas you should at a minimum give them a hat tip. I do not do it all the time with a link (because it's a link) but I try to do it with original thought.
ReplyDeleteChicken, if you came up with "Got Mitt Uns" I would steal that (but I will give you credit).
ReplyDeleteJust as a point of clarification, I had not seen that YouTube clip above when I made that comment about poultry cock fighting. That clip above does demonstrate life in Althouse's comment section. You have to be crazy to like that.
ReplyDeleteNow this is what I was talking about.
...eltitists from Ivy League sinkholes who take time out from destroying our country....
ReplyDeleteLast time I looked, the assholes who lost half my 401(k) and otherwise fucked up the country financially were headquartered mostly in Wall St., in...um...NEW YORK CITY.
Boston has never done anything but support and improve me. New York has robbed me blind.
I see all these various urban put downs as just labial flappage.
ReplyDeleteBarney Frank is from where again?
ReplyDeleteI forgets.
Every place has an asshole. Barney Frank is Massachusetts' asshole. Shit and spooge come out of him. Nothing good.
ReplyDeleteAnd here it is again: Althouse Comments, The Movie.
Hey, is going to be about pinching loafs or linching poofs?
ReplyDeleteWhen characterizing Althouse, I prefer nothing so crude as a cockfight.
ReplyDeleteMy mind runs to opera. And nothing could capture the je ne sais quoi of the EBL as Folly than this little scene, not staged, but in a concert version, introduced by Meade himself.
If you want to see the thing in all its glory on stage, complete with a corps de ballet of gay commenters (NTTAWWT), and Titus (in a sequined jacket) making up to Palladian (the green swamp creature) at the beginning, here's the place to look.
BTW, for this production, Shouting Thomas has been replaced by Singing Thomas. He's a Tenor II in the 5-part Chorus of Commenters.
And here is the EBL Herself, having her way with Ritmo when he got too tedious. Palladian lurks in the background, waiting for someone to love him.
ReplyDeleteEBL has joker-style lipstick!
ReplyDeleteAnd, of course, here's Titus, singing about how much he enjoys pinching a loaf.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
...but in a concert version, introduced by Meade himself.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Also, why are all those strings sawing away in unison? Atrocious!
That last link didn't go precisely where I wanted it to go.
ReplyDeleteTry again: link
Ah, yes, Chickelit. Music criticism by the tone-deaf.
ReplyDeleteBeen to real cockfight.
ReplyDeleteAlot like porn.
After the first minutes or so ...
boring.
