Let's just fall apart. . .

DH seems to think they are doing it "on purpose", so they can take it back to NY to win the championship. IDK if I agree with that exactly, but they might as well just lay down and die tonight. . .

I was waiting for a Yankees fan to say that. I think this is going to a game 7.

He isn't a Yankee fan. He likes the Braves actually. I don't think it is true. I think they are just sucking tonight, lol.

I was waiting for that too! Excuses, excuses. Like any team would give up a win just to do it 100 miles up the road at home... Typical Yankees' fan mentality

Well, like I just said. He isn't a fan. I am. I don't think it is the case. Geesh people.

Ha saw that after I posted my response. Still, he's a Braves fan. Booo!!! ha.

Sorry! I really was just waiting for someone to say it, and you were first.

I see! I don't want you guys to think I am a bitter Yankee fan or anything like that. And I wasn't trying to stir the pot, just make convo.

It's all friendly banter. This is nothing compared to the jerks on FB with all their crazy status updates like they are the new Yankees GM.

This is true. I haven't checked my FB tonight. I am sure it is crazy on there.

AJ Burnett did not look like he was doing that on purpose.  He looked like he wanted to cry and/or vomit while sitting on the bench after being pulled.

I missed the beginning of the game. I had to run to the ILs and they were watching Heroes. 

I got my hopes up there for a second. . . I still have faith, but its looking like we are going back to NY.

ND1204

Yayy for going back to NY!  It didn't look like the Yankees fell apart, but pitching got shut down - sorry, not a big fan of the 3 man rotation - and Phils finally decided to get their heads back in the game.

It was absolutely friendly banter - all in good fun!!! All DH's cousins are Yankees' fans and I'm having so much fun with them right now!!!

I would be eternally grateful if that d-bag Burnett would stop throwing out our outfielders with career threatening pitches.  I mean, I think that shot to Victorino gave Werth a Vietnam style flashback.

Wait, hasn't your bullpen hit A-Rod three times in two games?  The pitch that hit Victorino was not intentional, it was just inside.  He wouldn't have been hit had he not been squaring up to bunt.  Name calling is not necessary or warranted.

amy052006

I don't think it was intentional. Those throws at ARod were, but they certainly weren't with intent to injure.  Unless a bruise on the ass counts as an injury. 

I really can't get past no name calling.  This is the sports board for christ's sake.

My point was more that said pitch does not warrant the d-bag label, not that it can't be used at all.

amy052006

Do the elbow tats warrant the d-bag label?  Because I think they do.

 

lachute

sometimes i wish tom hanks could reprise his role from a league of their own tell let the nest know that:

NAME CALLING IS PART OF BASEBALL. 

and really though he would have been hit maybe not on his hand but on his arm had he not been bunting. 

lachute

and if anyone wants to get up on their high yankees horse and talk about how yankees fans are to good for name calling etc. clearly you never went to a game at old yankee stadium, this is still the only place i have seen batteries actually thrown on the field. [game 1 of the 1996 w.s.]

I disagree.  They were pitching A-Rod inside because that's where he's weak.  When you're working with a player who is as dangerous at the plate, you have to do everything you can to keep him from making a mark.  You certainly do not beam a batter intentionally 3 times in the WS, let alone doing it in the first inning.

Agreed. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Um, don't you remember Phillies fans throwing batteries at JD Drew when he was on the Cardinals in the late 90's?

i have only witnessed it once live and in person at yankee stadium hence why i said it.

I have only ever seen this at a Cleveland Browns game.

Oh, once live.  Sorry I missed that.

I think all teams have some dbag fans.  I'm loud and I'll yell and heckle, but I would never throw anything on the field or do something that would deliberately disrespect the Phillies or the city for that matter.  It sucks because I don't want to be lumped in the the category with the azzholes who act like that.  I get seriously tired of being called the city with the worst fans - you know, by everyone who DOESN'T live here, because we obviously think we're awesome .

This.  Also, in order for a national league pitcher to intentionally hit a batter he has to be plain stupid.  The pitchers do come up to the plate and who do you think will be the one to receive the retaliation hit?

I don't want to stir a pot here...but coming into this post a day late I have to say this.  I think everyone needs to go back and read this from the beginning.  Note who started the name calling and trash talk.  NOT a Ynakee fan.  Most of us are sane, normal people.  We are quite often forced to defend ourselves when fans of EVERY OTHER TEAM IN THE MLB start talking *** to us.

Oh, woe is the put upon New York fan.  Please rely my apologies to the asshat Rangers fan who once poured a beer on me.

I get there is a strong contingent that enjoys their Nest over easy with a side of rainbow and unicorns, but this is the sports board.
