"Hating the Yankees is as American as pizza pie, unwed mothers, and cheating on your income tax." - Mike Royko, Chicago Tribune columnist

But I'm not American.

although the missus tried her hardest to convert me to the cubs...

Is that your missus in the pic? She is hot! :)

Cubs fan here.. I'm cautiously optimistic. I like our back office but have a bunch of unknowns.. Starlin is gonna be a star.

Yep that's her.

The Cubs already used there luck this year Ron Santo finaly got in to the hall of fame

:yes: Philliefan Jen

Yes, about time too! I think the Hall of Fame committee was waiting for him to pass before they would induct him. Apparently there was some bad blood from his playing days..

Not expecting too much out of the Cubs this year. I expect to see your team, the Phillies in the playoffs again. Shane Victorino has always impressed me, that guy is a gamer. :)

The 2012 season starts in one more day and i found this one youtube and i think it's a goodway to get everyone excited about opening day reguardless of which team you are rooting for

Let's get Don Mattingly in to the Hall of Fame
 

OK now that Ron Santo got in it's no time to right another injustice and put Don Mattingly in the hall

I never thought I would say this in response to one of your posts, Jen, but after reading your signature....

eeeeewwwwwwwww!!!!! (said with a scrunched up face)


Go back to the Phillies.....please!

smc you do not yet realize the power of the darkside

;) Yankeesfan Jen

Sounds like Boston fans are returning to the doom and gloom outlook they had before 2004
the season is only still in the first week of play all is not lost
my Phillies are 1-2 :frown:
and my Yankees are 0-3 being swept by Tampa [oh the pain] :eek:
but things will get better all is not lost for either team
:innocent: Yankeesfan Jen

What the hell is this "my Yankees" crap, Jen?

Please, please, please tell us it's nothing more than a provocation in jest!

It's just time to come out of the closet and admit that i'm a Yankees fan

:innocent: Yankeesfan Jen

Jen, I have to say no one has ever looked sexier in Yankee pinstripes! :kiss:

oops my bad :( ... though it is a sexy pic ... can only imagine how much more prettier a pic of Jen would be (in or out of pinstripes ;) )

Yeah whether or not Jen is truly a Yankees fan ... you gotta love her for being the beautiful woman that she is :heart: and wonderful contributor on this site :respect: ... even if she's shaken your world up a bit! :eek:

I could not agree more. The Yankees suck and I will never root for them as a team.

Individual Yankees are another matter. Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter from the current team, for example. Class acts. And I also agree that Don Mattingly should go to the Hall, but I won't change my baseball allegiances because of it.

Born and bred Astros fan here and I don't give a flying fuck about all the fair weather fans in that city, I love em and when they win it's a party and when they lose, meh it's a tough loss.

Unfortunately, all teams seem to have their fair share of fair weather fans.

Although by all accounts Derek Jeter is a class act ... I can definitely attest that Mariano Rivera is a tremendous class act! I was very sorry to see that he got hurt this week and wish him a speedy recovery!

I worked with a cancer foundation for a number of years and with many baseball players (primarily from the Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets) helping to raise money for the foundation to help cancer patients. Mariano Rivera was a pleasure to work with ... polite and caring ... he worked tirelessly to help out the foundation. Just a wonderful human being! I know his baseball pitching stats speak volumes for how excellent he is on the field, but off of it he is just as great a person!

Mariano Rivera and former Boston Red Sox Carl Yastrzemski were the best to work with in the years I worked with this cancer foundation. Most were good ... they were GREAT! (Then you had some ... who although they agreed to help out ... couldn't wait for it to be over with like Roger Clemens and David Wells to name a couple).

I agree with you 100% about Rivera. I wouldn't wish that injury on him no matter what team he played for(and what a fluke injury it was!). I'm glad to hear that he'll not be retiring after this(it would be a crappy way to end your career), but I'm not sure what he'll be like after having a year on the sidelines.

And I'm not surprised at all about your comments about Roger Clemens and David Wells. Clemens is a douchebag, and Wells had a poor attitude(I still recall the hissy fit he threw towards Cito Gaston when he pulled Wells out of a game...I think that he's lucky Gaston didn't pop his head off like a cork!)

You are absolutely correct. I sincerely apologize to all douchebags out there for associating you with Roger Clemens.;):lol:

a question for SMC and all of REDSOX nation
 

With sundays heart breaker has the cries of Bucky F:censored:n Dent been replaced with Chris F:censored:N Davis :eek:
:confused: Yankeesfan Jen

:censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: mother f:censored:n tampabay
not only should they be kicked out of the NHL but they should be kicked out of MLB and they shouldn't be allowed to vote for president either
:no: Yankee fan Jen

It's hard to get upset about anything that happens when position players are pitching, no matter which side wins.

this should bring a smile to SMC
 

found this on youtube and it made me think of SMC

Thanks, Jen. Very sweet of you. I was especially pleased to see Dwight Evans included. He's my all-time favorite (and he should be in the Hall of Fame).

Your welcome and i agree Dwight Evans should be in the hall :yes:
but i'm surpised that Roger Clemens and Mike Greenwell were not mentioned
:confused: Yankeesfan Jen

Someone commented on the Clemens in the Comments section. I didn't even think about Greenwell, but you're right -- that's a strange omission.

I remember in the late 80s watching Yankees play the Red Sox on WPIX and Mike Greenwell was always a tough out and always managed a big hit at a key moment in the game so i guess i remembered him because he was Mike F:censored:N Greenwell
I didn't read the comment section but i'm guessin the reason Roger wasn't mentioned was because of his usage of riods and it left a bad taste in the Red Soxs fans mouths as it did everyone elses
;) Yankeesfan Jen

Yeah, that and the fact that he's an arrogant asswipe.
