WildCard Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 Time for a new thread. Because of the page count? Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 Because of the page count? I think that the esteemed Eleven thinks that college football is now dominating this catch all thread that it deserves it's own thread, maybe? Quote
inkman Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Hahahahaha ###### the Red Sox. No. the Yankees and all their bandwagon fans. Quote
ubkev Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 No. ###### the Yankees and all their bandwagon fans. Born and raised in NY. Who the hell else should I root for? Closest team? Still the Yankees. Quote
Weave Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 And....... the Dodgers seem to have peaked too soon. Quote
ubkev Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 And....... the Dodgers seem to have peaked too soon. Nope, just being the Dodgers. This is what they do. Is it the Astros year? Indians? The Red Sox? Cubbies repeat? No way can it be the Dodgers lol. I think the WS goes back to the AL this year. Quote
inkman Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Born and raised in NY. Who the hell else should I root for? Closest team? Still the Yankees.That's fine, I'd have more respect if you were a Mets fans but given the choice only a Buffalonian would pick the Mets. But most western NYers are closer to Cleveland, Toronto, Boston, Pittsburgh, did I miss any? Quote
Winston Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 That's fine, I'd have more respect if you were a Mets fans but given the choice only a Buffalonian would pick the Mets. But most western NYers are closer to Cleveland, Toronto, Boston, Pittsburgh, did I miss any? But only the Yanks and Mets are shown on TV. If you're in WNY, I feel like you pick one of those unless you just want to be divergent. You won't get any of those teams you mentioned with a cable subscription (which is what most people grew up with, hence their fandom). I'm a Yankees fan because my dad is a Yankees fan because he grew up watching the Yankees Quote

Randall Flagg Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 I watched every Yankees game practically from 07-11 and still watched most through my first year of undergrad, and have watched ~20 a year since then. I'm allowed to laugh at the stupid Boston sports team's pain! Quote

I'm allowed to laugh at the stupid Boston sports team's pain! I had no idea you were such a baseball fan, let alone a Yankees one Quote
Eleven Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Posted September 4, 2017 That's fine, I'd have more respect if you were a Mets fans but given the choice only a Buffalonian would pick the Mets. But most western NYers are closer to Cleveland, Toronto, Boston, Pittsburgh, did I miss any? Detroit Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Detroit Cinci and the Expos would be close to being closer. Quote
Eleven Posted September 4, 2017 Author Report Posted September 4, 2017 Cinci and the Expos would be close to being closer. The Expos were closer. But they gone. Quote
JujuFish Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Go Tribe! 12 game winning streak, longer than any other team this season. Quote
Winston Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 Go Tribe! 12 game winning streak, longer than any other team this season. With some big guns on the DL too.. If they stay hot and introduce Miller back to the pen, Salazar back to the rotation, and Kip and Brantley back into the lineup, it could be another fun run in Ohio this fall. Although updates on Brantley don't sound encouraging at this point. Quote

ubkev Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 Teams from Boston and cheating? Color me shocked! I'm kidding! Stealing signs is and has always been part of the game. Quote
JujuFish Posted September 11, 2017 Report Posted September 11, 2017 The Dodgers are the first team in MLB history to both win and lose 15 of 16 games in a season. Quote
WildCard Posted September 11, 2017 Report Posted September 11, 2017 The Dodgers are the first team in MLB history to both win and lose 15 of 16 games in a season. Falling apart at the wrong time. With their demise and Harper out, the Indians have to be the favorites now Quote
shrader Posted September 11, 2017 Report Posted September 11, 2017 The Dodgers are the first team in MLB history to both win and lose 15 of 16 games in a season. Currently in the middle of a 10 game losing streak but still have the best record in baseball. I can't imagine that's too common either. Quote
Eleven Posted September 11, 2017 Author Report Posted September 11, 2017 Falling apart at the wrong time. With their demise and Harper out, the Indians have to be the favorites now Shut yo mouth Quote
JujuFish Posted September 11, 2017 Report Posted September 11, 2017 Currently in the middle of a 10 game losing streak but still have the best record in baseball. I can't imagine that's too common either. For what it's worth, no team has ever lost 10 in a row and gone on to win the World Series. And on a side note, the last team to win and lose 10 in a row in a single season was the Indians in 2008. Quote
