If we see Boston again....
Please, please, please....I beg everyone who asked us politely to not razz the red sox fans because they were "classier" than Yankee fans to go ANY web site that has the story on CC winning the Cy young and read the comments from Red Sox nation.
Ive never seen a fan base that just won a world series act so spiteful; one of my best friends leaked the story to me by saying "** CC, Beckett has 2 more important rings. The voting is obviously rigged"
I know the argument exist that any fan base has their obnoxious fans, but oiy.....could you imagine any Cleveland fan, reveling in world series glory, to post comments following a Red Sox article with that kind of trash?
Please razz away on the younger, obnoxious, and immature little brothers of Yankee fandom.

Dr. Egon Spengler: Vinz, you said before you were waiting for a sign. What sign are you waiting for?
Louis: Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!

Re: If we see Boston again....
still... i've hated the Red Sox for so long that I was actually cheering for the Yankees loudly, in public, in CLEVELAND, when Aaron F. Boone hit the HR off Wakefield.

Re: If we see Boston again....
I went to every game of the Yanks-Sox '04 series at this one bar on 109th st. I cheered on the Sox through the whole ordeal. They didn't have a chance, it seemed, but it was the good cause.
I resent the Yankees as much as the next guy, but even still, I lived at 139th st at the time and I liked the Yankees fans I knew. The deli guys, the cabbies, the girl who served me coffee--that crowd's ok. They loved the Yankees. They painted the insignia on the sidewalk panels. The $500 dollar/game right-behind-the-dish crowd, not so much. Yanks fans aren't all bad; many of them haven't ever left their borough--literally--and they think they're being patriotic.

Re: If we see Boston again....
Also! I resent the team spending, and some individual players (esp. Papelbon, Pedroia for no good reason), and I have a condescending view of their general respective fanbases... but I don't loathe the individual fans.

Yankees fans and Red Sox fans are more alike than Red Sox fans and Indians fans are. God. typing about that stupid fan nation is boiling me right up....I need a drink.

Re: If we see Boston again....
Against my better judgment and due to extreme boredom at work, I went out to some of the baseball message boards on places like sportsline and cnnsi, and let me tell you BoxSox fans, at least the ones who post, are whiny little pansies. That once upon a time that many of us felt sorry for these jerks? It needs to go.
By the way, did you hear that Beckett won 20 games? Doesn't that pretty much gift wrap a Cy Young?

Re: If we see Boston again....
Then I realized that the morons posting there didn't even know WHEN the vote was taken, that it had to do with the regular season or how much better C.C. was in several categories.
I visited OTM and found an article on the board congratulating C.C. and the vast majority of the comments to it doing the same. A few did point out that the Red Sox got the more desirable hardware this year, but I knew that already - and so did C.C. Still, there was some class to it.
Next, I visited PA for the evil empire's perspective on this story ... there was none. No article, no diary post. It seem that in the land of pinstripes, if a Yankee didn't win the award there's no need to acknowledge that it was even given out.

Re: If we see Boston again....
Their worship of their "Trinity" is pretty amusing too. I admit that they are good prospects, but they act like they can just pencil them in as Clemens, Petite and Maddox for the next 15 years.
The Yankess are not going to make the playoffs next year, and I look forward to reading about it over there.

Re: If we see Boston again....
They actually thought that Hughes/Ian Kennedy/[i] Miguel Cabrera[/i] was too much to pay for Santana, even with the stipulation that they get to sign him to a long term deal. Sillyness. There are some smart posters over there to be sure, but most of them are just grasping at young players out of desperation. That must be what their sportstalk radio shows were recommending.

You're right. Here is a typical NYY fan trade proposal"
Melky + "Non-Trinity" prospects = Santana

Re: If we see Boston again....
The main thing about his winning is that this now does elevate his value even higher than originally forcasted. Not to say that his stock wasn't already through the roof, but this adds a little more fuel to the fire. Being a CY winner has to be good for a few more mil per.
Hope we can find a way to keep him.

+1 on the class of OTM!
When I initially read some of the comments in this thread, I thought I would read a lot more "Beckett should have won," "Beckett got hosed," "CC sucks," etc. comments, but when I went to OTM, there were few to none of those comments - they presented some solid arguments both ways, a candid thought that they thought the race would be closer (as did I,) and gave CC (and Carmona) his due.
I thought it was classy and professional on their part - and I did not go to other forums or message boards, because I figured other places would not be so impartial and well-balanced to see both sides of the argument.
Of course, LGT provided that same impartial, well-balanced analysis as well - thanks Jay, Ryan, and LGTers. :-)
Just my 2 cents.

Re: If we see Boston again....
When I visit Cleveland, about 3 times a year, I soak as much of the various sports as I can. I talk to cab drivers, friends, family members, people in the various bars all over Lakewood, etc....and the average sports fan I talk to generally has a respectful atittude towards sports in general, ackowledges the talent on other squads, knows the weaknesses within their own, etc. It's a pleasant conversation.
I live in New England, and meeting an intelligent Red Sox/Yankee fan is 1 in 100. Its not just the forums, its not just the people on the radio, but...
THE VAST majority of casual fans in this area are disrespectful, front-running, idiots. The guys over at OTM must have all the intelligent baseball fans in New England.
It's almost comical listening to WEEI, the local station; the hosts are extremely well grounded and enjoyable to listen to, and they spend most of the show arguing with their own callers and trying to reason with the folks. It's too bad, because I actually like listening to their opinions.
The point of the article was not recommend trolling on other message boards or picking fights, but it was my last straw....after the 4-5 cell phone messages of people calling my voicemail to GLOAT after the sox won game 7, i'm not swallowing my comments next year when the Indians break a stool off in the collective Sox *.
