The game was played under protest. It will be interesting to see how the ruling goes.” 9:17:46 AM 4/22/04 Hey Yankmees! “ FEAR THE DAMON! ”8:13:01 AM 4/23/04 “Went to an Oriole's game last night. Perfect seats - 14 rows directly behind home plate. We had a perfect bead between the pitching mound and the plate, so we could call each pitch before the ump did. Wish I owned those season tix!” 9:50:56 AM 4/23/04 “Orioles in first place. Bring back the glory days. White Sox beat the Yankmees. Have a nice day, Steiny!” 2:16:27 PM 4/23/04 YANKEES SUCK! YANKEES SUCK! YANKEES SUCK! “BoSox SLAUGHTER the YankMes, 11-2!!!! 8:54:13 PM 4/23/04 Let's try that again... “ ”8:55:08 PM 4/23/04 “speaking of the Sox, just today I found a sports bar in town that has a Red Sox theme. All the games are televised, and the bar is flooded with Sox stuff. 16oz beers are only $1.50 to boot. It was a hoot tonight sitting in a bar in Pa where everyone was cheering the Sox whipping the Yankees. Tonight was also my first peek at Damon's new "Mountain Man" look. He looks like a friggin Neanderthal.” 9:00:58 PM 4/23/04 “Congrats on finding nirvana.” 9:05:31 PM 4/23/04 YANKEES SUCK! YANKEES SUCK! YANKEES SUCK! “They fall to the Red Sox yet again, and all they can hope to do is tie this series. Poor little Evil Empire.” 6:29:41 PM 4/24/04 “LOL See you in october.” 6:32:41 PM 4/24/04 “Yeah, have fun watching the Red Sox!” 6:36:37 PM 4/24/04 Double Play “Just one of the many dominant plays made by the BoSox, who once again sent the Yankmes running away with their tails between their legs. ”7:16:40 PM 4/24/04 “funny........ I can't say that I have ever done that before.... let alone in October.... Oh wait I remember now. I was working night crew at shoprite. My best friend was stocking the dog food isle when it happened. All I heard was AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH and a whole lot of sobbing! We yankee fans are use to that. What was that dudes name?? Oh yeah Bill Buckner wasn't it? 1918 1918 1918 1918....” 7:18:13 PM 4/24/04 “Remember Arty it's only April. You still have the whole regular season ahead of you. Don't you worry though they'll ring true and blow it in the end... they always do! BTW the most proving part of the curse is that many of the years where the Yanks have taken it all and the Sox have lost it is that the Sox were by far the better team unfortunately fate always shows is face and Boston starts looking forward to football season.” 7:23:11 PM 4/24/04 “Here and now. And the here and now has the BoSox slaughtering the Steiny's little boys 5 to 1 in games so far this season. Yes, the season is young, but what a fantastic start! Steiny's bound to explode very soon! That's always amusing. Poor, little rich baby.” 7:24:11 PM 4/24/04 Well, Well, Well..... “Yankmes lose their third straight game to the BoSox... oh wait, make that fourth straight, going back to last weeks series. Below are some fun facts! - Jeter still can't get a hit to save his life. He has one hit in his last 44 at bats. chuuuuuuump! - The Red Sox have beaten the Yankees in 6 out of 7 games so far this season. Scary, considering they've done it without Nomar and Trot. - The Yankee suck.” 5:00:36 PM 4/25/04 “LOL” 5:18:15 PM 4/25/04 The Empire Can't Strike Back “Here's what a group of real winners looks like! ”5:26:45 PM 4/25/04 “For some reason, I thought there was a fourth game tomorrow. There's not. Do you know what that means? Here's a clue: ”9:05:15 PM 4/25/04 “That Tripod hosts images?” 9:12:36 PM 4/25/04 “Well, that sucks (kinda like the Yankees). Imagine an animated gif of a broom sweeping. There.” 10:04:55 PM 4/25/04 “Giants suck, so I'll post about the Li'l Tigers instead. Lost a tough one on Saturday. Our pitchers had a rough couple of innings in the middle of the game, where they walked about 10 batters over 2 innings - very uncharacteristic. Our fielders seemed to be asleep, too. So we entered the 5th inning down 7-3, but our bats woke up and we scored the maximum 5 runs (all but the last inning you're limited to 5 runs) to pull ahead 8-7. We put in our closer, the manager's son, and he mowed 'em down in the bottom of the 5th. We got a couple runners on in the top of the 6th but couldn't score. All we had to do was hold 'em in the bottom. Ray mowed down the first 2 batters, but then walked a guy. I commented to our bench coach, "Jeez, if any of those kids can make contact with one of Ray's pitches it's going to go a long way." Next pitch, boom! A rocket that went way over Cameron's head in left. But he tracked it down pretty quick and held the kid to a double, and the guy on first didn't score. Next guy walked. So bases loaded, two out, us up by a run. Pop fly along the first base line, Ray comes over... and drops it! One run scores, tie game, bases loaded still. The kid on first kept taking a huge lead, so the manager told Ray to throw over there. Our first baseman dropped the throw, then threw late to home, game over. Ugh. Kids were pretty bummed, but were plenty cheery at practice yesterday. Another game tonight against a somewhat tougher team. Fantastic weather - should be in the mid-70s at game time.” 9:30:09 AM 4/26/04 Scheeeeeee-it........ “Go ahead gloat all ya want jerky! j/k We're talking 20 games into the season and your acting like the Bawston Red Sux's have won 10 world series titles...... Think of it like this. The evil empire is hitting closer to 200 then 300 as a team. The Red sucks did beat them 3-0 this weekend, but only barely in 2 of the 3 games. You must be smoking some scheeeee-it, if you think that line up is going to bat like this all year long.....They are a sleeping dog at this point. So keep up your hopes the Sux going all the way. We will see come Octobah! And even if the Sux's happen to win it all the only need 20 more World series to catch the Empire! Luke I'm your father!” 10:20:14 AM 4/26/04 “Loria rattling his saber again It's all B.S. Angelos won't let another team move to the D.C. area, and the other option discussed, Las Vegas, is nonworkable because of the lack of a decent stadium. No matter how unsuited Pro Player is for baseball, Cashman is even worse.” 10:24:23 AM 4/26/04 “If they move to Las Vegas, Managing the Marlins there would be Pete Rose's Dream Job.......” 10:29:49 AM 4/26/04 “What are the odds on the fish moving to LV and Pete Rose managing them?” 11:02:44 AM 4/26/04 “Let's put it this way: I think even Pete wouldn't bet on that longshot...” 11:06:26 AM 4/26/04 “the irony of it all is that right now on sports classics s that fateful game is on......where in the bottom of the ninth Buckner misses the ball and the amazing Mets win the world series Artex are you watching this????” 8:04:47 PM 4/26/04 “whoops my bad.... 10th inning. But boy what a blundering bunch of screw-ups hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 1918..... 1918..... 1918.....” 8:07:20 PM 4/26/04 “You're livin' in the past, son.” 8:10:30 PM 4/26/04 “Well, our glorious single A club is now three and FOURTEEN: 1-6 at home, 2-8 on the road. >:-( I hate to tell you this, but it's a Boston farm club.” 8:34:13 PM 4/26/04 “Their AA isn't doing so hot either.” 8:44:13 PM 4/26/04 “It could be worse, your club could be a Brewers farm team....yecccchhhhhh” 8:47:59 PM 4/26/04 “Oh Yeah... Things can Always be worse! LOL” 8:59:32 PM 4/26/04 “I can't complain too much. The stadium is only 5 minutes away and the beer is cheap on Tuesdays and Thursdays, <G>” 9:02:57 PM 4/26/04 “Speaking of farm teams, watch out for the li'l Tigers - they shellacked the Cubs last night, 12-2!! Everything went great. The only mistake the whole night was that our centerfielder tried to throw out a runner at first base. The irony of it was that he almost did! Our pitching was superb. One kid came in and struck out the first 5 batters he faced, gave up the hit to CF mentioned above, then struck out the next kid. He probably threw 6-8 pitches out of the strike zone in 2 innings. Our 2nd baseman hit a 3-run homer that was just a rocket between the outfielders into right-center. Only problem was that he didn't score because his was the 6th run in a 5-run max inning. In the last inning, Cameron made a diving catch of a line drive in left field. Yeah! An 8-year-old kid - MINE! - made a diving catch in the outfield!!! Wow. That was amazing.... Next up: the undefeated A's on Saturday - stay tuned....” 8:24:43 AM 4/27/04 “Are there any professional baseball teams in New York?” 8:32:10 AM 4/27/04 “What's this "New York"?” 8:49:21 AM 4/27/04 “Way to go, Little Tigers! They could be my new favorite team if the Royals and the Giants don't get serious.” 8:59:30 AM 4/27/04 “I thought this was hilarious. It's the top 10 things Red Sox fans have to say to Yankees fans.. submitted by readers to the Boston Globe 10. You had a cup of warm milk for your weekend hangover, dear Yankees fans? And you're what?...lactose intolerant? Not only are you lacking brain cells, you're in for a long, uncomfortable season. The bathroom's empty, it's all yours. -- Lenny, Providence 9. Yankees Infield of Giambi, Jeter, and A-Rod: $560 million. Red Sox infield of McCarty, Crespo, Reese, and Bellhorn: $2.3 million. The BoSox Sweeping the Yankees in the House that Ruth Built: Priceless. -- Daniela, Revere 8. Thank God the Devil Rays are coming town -- it will be nice for the Sox to finally have a challenge. -- Kevin, Cambridge 7. Cowboy Up or Cowboy Down, it doesn't matter. This is THE year Yankee fans - deal with it. Yippee Eye Oh Kyaaaaaa suckers!! HA HA HA! -- Michael, Boston 6. I know it's only April.........but doesn't it feel good???????????????????? -- Rose, Reading 5. Hmmm... could the Yankees be suffering the "Curse of Having A-Rod?" -- Brenda, Biddeford 4. Did you really think you could win against a team that has Jesus in center field? -- Jeff, Malden 3. Donald Trump: About that patent on the phrase "You're Fired"... -- George S., Tampa, Fla. 2. Say helo to my little friend. -- Manny Ramirez -- Blendi, Worcester 1. Yankees motto: "If we can't beat Pedro, we'll trade for Randy Johnson. If we can't beat Bronson Arroyo, we'll fire Don Mattingly." -- Kristy, Medford BTW, Jeter's hitless streak is now at 0-28. Chuuuuuuuuuuum-puh!” 10:18:28 PM 4/27/04 “The Phillies beating the Cruds, great. Pat Burrell snagging a homer away from Scott Rolen - priceless! How sweet it is!” 3:49:55 PM 4/28/04 “Hey Bowlder! Could you lend us a few of those guys????” 3:55:56 PM 4/28/04 “Sure Tilt, I'll rent them out! But you'll have to wait until Tuesday at least. We're currently in 5th place a third of the way through the season - top 4 teams will be in the playoffs. Thursday, the 4th place team plays 3rd; we play the 4th place team on Saturday and the 3rd place team on Monday. I predict two wins and leapfrogging to 3rd place!!” 4:40:22 PM 4/28/04 “Please Send Help ASAP; we're now 5-19.” 6:02:01 PM 4/28/04 “Um, OK. I'll send you the kid who's playing baseball for the first time this year and he's been on vacation out of the country for the past 3 weeks. Maybe that'll help both of us??” 6:25:48 PM 4/28/04 “That's hilarious Artex. Man, if your thing happens, you will definately have to make a few road trips to Fenway. Ain't nothing like it.” 6:30:54 PM 4/28/04 “Muchos Gracias” 6:36:24 PM 4/28/04 “Ya mean Artex has never been to Fenway?! Even I've been to Fenway....” 6:40:53 PM 4/28/04 “Careful about revealing too much info on the thing, Pennsy. You wouldn't want to be cursed, would you? An unspeakable evil will follow the rest of a mortal's life if the thing is revealed prematurely under certain circumstances.” 6:41:24 PM 4/28/04 “Yes Pennsy - DO NOT REVEAL ARTEX'S THING!!!” 6:42:22 PM 4/28/04 Jump to Page << prev
