I know that what you say is true about some of the Red Sox fans but I know one of the coaches and he and others are big Bushies!! Good, Christian men.
There is something that feels sooooo good to see upset Yankee fans.
I know. I'll try to stop blasting the Commie Sox. I had no idea that so many freepers were Commie Sox fans.
This is Free Republic not Yahoo Baseball
All right baseball purists. Why is it acceptable to plow into the catcher in an attempt to dislodge the ball, but not okay to slap at it in a fielder's glove?
Sox fans got the call. Everybody relax and watch the game.
Well, for one thing....Massachusetts is a lock for Kerry. Unless you believe we elect the President with the popular vote.
Check the polls. Kerry is more popular in New York than he is in Massachusetts.
Don't look for that info on a Democrat site, they don't want people to notice.
If You are with us, what curse can stand against us? Deliver us from the enemies hand.
Amen The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6
The umpire Joe West looks so much like Jim Rassman-- Kerry's Jim Rassman.

"PATRIOT ACT...We're shutting this game down!"
Class. Those Yankee fans are all class.

XM Satellite Radio is close to taking the wraps off a deal with MLB that would be the largest in the brief history of satellite radio. Sources said the ten-year deal — expected to be unveiled sometime before the first game of the World Series this Saturday — is worth as much as $650M in cash and stock. They added that the agreement won’t begin until 2006.
The deal brings into sharp focus the competition between XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, the two heavyweights of the developing segment, each of which hopes that by signing big-name, big-dollar content deals, they will be able to grow what are now relatively small subscriber bases. XM has about 2.5 million subscribers; while Sirius has about 700,000. Steve Mather, a research analyst who follows satellite radio for Sanders Morris Harris, L.A., said, “I think it’s safe to say this has become an arms race with the money they are paying for talent. At these prices, they’d be better off selling consumers on (satellite radio) itself.”
Sirius execs have long said that the deal it signed with the NFL in December is as important as a branding device as it is for content. The addition of MLB to the its lineup helps XM level the playing field, since baseball has more than 10 times as many games and has been a staple of radio almost since the medium started. Sirius paid about $220M for its seven-year deal with the NFL, an interesting comparison to these latest MLB numbers. Nonetheless, the money is flowing. Sirius recently signed Howard Stern to a five-year, $500M deal. With the concomitant publicity, Sirius said it gained more than 69,000 new subscribers in September to pass the 700,000 mark. In the sports arena, Sirius has deals with the NHL, AVP and top-tier college basketball and football programs, including Notre Dame, Michigan, Oklahoma, USC and Nebraska. Its rights deal with the NBA is expected to be renewed shortly. XM’s sports offerings include an exclusive deal with NASCAR, and college conference deals with the Big Ten, the ACC and the Pac-10.
McCarver is such an ass. He keeps talking about all the announcements, and yeah, I can tell what the gist of the announcements are, but sheesh, just tell us what the damn announcements are.
So you've been to Fenway often this year, I take it, with your nightly announcements that "Red Sox fans are commies"? I've been to Fenway 13 times this year, once while Kerry made an appearance across the stands from me. When Kerry was announced, a chorus of boos went up, and there was a smattering of polite applause.
My husband and I (and pro-Bush friends of ours) met a lot of anti-Kerry Bush supporters up in those stands at Fenway this year. So, who did you meet up in the stands at Fenway this year?
Announcer Bob Shepard is imploring the "classy" Yankee fans to "refrain from unsportsmanlike behavior". Yankee fans are continuing to pelt the field with bottles and garbage... umpires asking for more security personnel... both teams taken off the field. Classy Yankee fans!
NOW THE RIOT SQUAD IS ON THE FIELD AT YANKEE STADIUM!!!
Rule 2.00:
"(a) Offensive interference is an act by the team at bat which interferes with, obstructs, impedes, hinders or confuses any fielder attempting to make a play. If the umpire declares the batter, batter-runner, or a runner out for interference, all other runners shall return to the last base that was in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference, unless otherwise provided by these rules."
The umps ruled that Jeter did not legally touch second base.
Riot gear cops circling the field now. Someone remind me, did this happen in Boston when our calls were blown?
This is crazy! If the fans don't stop being thugs, can they just call the game?
Arrest them all! Sort 'em out in Gitmo!
