Whether Boston's classic or dud, it's never hard to remember why people hate Yankees fans.

YEA! that is the awesomest comment ever!!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:39 (twenty-two years ago)

We're not really disproving the "Yankees fans are all assholes" theory here, are we? Anyway, I'm gonna come vomit on Fenway!!!!!!!!!!

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 03:40 (twenty-two years ago)

yo, this outburst would've been NOTHING compared to the outburst had it been the Phillies that kicked Sox ass. that would've been world war IV!!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:40 (twenty-two years ago)

yo ally i may have enough amtrak bonus miles to pay for you, tom and others TO GO TO BOSTON AND DESECRATE FENWAY PARK!!

isn't that better than a stupid lobsterita?

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:42 (twenty-two years ago)

And most Red Sox fans would be doing the same thing if the tables were turned; New Yorkers are just more competent at being assholes.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I just don't like Boston! I'm actually a Mets fan!!! You should totally get Tom and his friends to come, they'd really like pissing on Fenway.

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 03:43 (twenty-two years ago)

i was just blasting "takeover" -- SO APPROPRIATE RIGHT NOW!! -- and i swear to god, someone else in my apartment was just blasting "the final countdown" JEL IS GOD EUROPE R GODZZZ OF VICTORY!!!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:45 (twenty-two years ago)

PEDRO YER SHIT IS GARBAGE!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

When the Yankees wer catching up, I was doing my Happy Wade Robson dance all around the living room. HOORAY BASEBALL WILL NOT FUCK UP MY SINGING COMMUTE FOR THE REST OF THE MONTH.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 October 2003 11:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, ah, um. I've got it "Wait til next year!" Yeah, thats it.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 17 October 2003 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Are we still on for this Boston trip or what? We should make a FAP of it.

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 13:57 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Fenway. Sox Suxors, but Fenway is charming

― ModJ (ModJ), Friday, 17 October 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Now that all these weddings are over with I'm down for FAPS. Hey Dan are you doing the holiday singing thing again this year? When do tix start going on sale for that.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 17 October 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

the let's go to boston and piss on fenway park FAP?

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

har har. sure but while your pissing watch out for the swift kick to the nuts from me. Damn yankees. ;)

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 17 October 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I am doing the holiday singing thing again but because I'm crap I don't remember which dates I'm singing. Tix go on sale last week of October; I want to say the 27th but check http://www.bso.org to be sure.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 October 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

in visiting Boston, we'd have all the grace charm and respect of the Goths and the Vandals invading Rome!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

This reminds me of the "Cradle of Filth visit the Vatican" story.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 17 October 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Dude, seriously, let's go to Boston. Mid-November?

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

This reminds me of the "Cradle of Filth visit the Vatican" story.

YES!

sure, i'm up for a boston visit. my schedule's amenable these days. i also wanna go to cambridge and piss on harvard law school!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Let's beat the shit out of some Ivy Leaguers!!!

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, if this thing can wait till December ... 'cause the bills play the patriots on 12/27.

but november's cool, too!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 15:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll probably be out of town that week!! Argh.

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 16:11 (twenty-two years ago)

mid-November is ok, then (other peoples' schedules pending of course)

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Ha ha, Dan was right -- I was much more charitable in my assessment of the area when visiting in the summer. Usually I would say Boston is full of pretentious, racist assholes and Fenway is an overrated dump. But I was tooling around the North Shore at that time, not driving through downtown Boston, which is perpetually under construction and the signs say "DETOUR: bridge" when they mean "tunnel" and vice versa. David Raposa and Chris V., you know I love you guys, but in the main, Boston has the most fickle, bitter, fair-weather sports fans in America and I cannot stand them.

Anyway, the following comment of Tad's has just come to my attention:

Another plus for the Phillies and the Orioles: when their ballparks get run-down and go to seed, they tear them down and build new ones. (same criticism goes for the Cubs, too)

??????

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Even if we had won the game I guarantee we would have found something to complain about. Its our nature. THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE MISERABLE.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Felicity, I think he wants to go piss on Wrigley next, basically.

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 16:51 (twenty-two years ago)

all right, i've not been to wrigley stadium myself so maybe lumping them in with fenway was presumptuous. (the old comiskey park, on the other hand).

anyway, i've gotten wiser since i posted that comment and the Vet (dump that it is) is now slated to be torn down ... so i can see why bosox fans would be attached to Fenway.

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

i will gladly pee on U. Chicago, though -- evil bastids that gave the world Milton Friedman and John Ashcroft!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate Fenway. Yeah its a classic ballpark, but its a filthy uncomfortable dump.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

then my point still stands (at least wr2 fenway).

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I still don't understand why Tad wants to tear down Wrigley Field. Oriole Park or Camden Yards or Cal Ripken Jr. Shrine or whatever it's called is modeled on Wrigley. It's the best place in the whole world!

(x-post ha ha, Tad in Momus "haven't seen it, actually" moment :) )

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:55 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, but i admit when i am wrong ... unlike mr. currie (sometimes!)

still, the orioles and the phillies got outta their respective dumps relatively quickly. what's the red sox's excuse? it isn't as if they don't have the money, you know!

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 16:58 (twenty-two years ago)

The bitter, terrible, fairweather fans like the fucking place.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep you are not a fan, so how would you know? Anyway, there was a proposal to tear down Fenway and rebuild it exactly, complete with the wacked-out seat angles but I think that went away.

Tad, you should go to Wrigley! There are many cute things about Wrigley Field but one of them is that the scoreboards on the concourse are like old signs you would find at a Midwestern high school gym -- they just say "Cubs" and "Visitors" and have the little light bulbs in the shapes of "8"s from which you can make any number.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

felicity -- one day i'd like to see wrigley, i think! but boston's cheaper & easier to get to, via amtrak anyway.

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Tep, I'm really glad you have NOTHING ELSE TO DO AT ALL right now than come on every thread with a baseball discussion and piss all over people.

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 17:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Ally, I backed you on the payroll thing, for Pete's sake. I'm not pissing all over people. I find the "the team who lost fucking sucks, ha ha, they deserved it!" thing incredibly annoying (and the "the team who won fucking sucks, ha ha, fucking bastards!" thing is just as annoying), and the more gleeful and ridiculous it is, the more annoying it is.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:21 (twenty-two years ago)

yo, i just realized something. other ILXors said that atlanta braves are assholes. WELL, GUESS WHAT CITY THE BRAVES ORIGINALLY CAME FROM?!?

i rest my case.

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

ATTENTION EVERYONE: PLEASE STOP ANNOYING TEP

Thanks.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Calling all of the Boston fans dickheads is obv. very different from this though??

(xpost: "other ILXors"=me!! I more object to Ted Turner and that damn Tomahawk chop thing than anything else though)

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

but tep, surely you understand the yankees-red sox rivalry yes? i mean, it isn't as if the yankees beat the angels (who no-one gives a shit about and there's no history b/w the yanks and the angels).

― Little Big Macher (llamasfur), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Calling all of the Boston fans dickheads is obv. very different from this though??

It comes off pretty much the same to me -- it's all part of the silly "hate the other team" crap that comes along as baggage.

but tep, surely you understand the yankees-red sox rivalry yes?

Obviously, but what's that to do with anything? I don't hate the Yankees for winning.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:29 (twenty-two years ago)

I think the difference is that I think this thread has come off mostly good natured and obviously not entirely serious whereas your post sounded just mean.

― Ally-zay, Friday, 17 October 2003 17:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I wasn't seeing good-naturedness, to be honest, but which post of mine sounded mean?

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:31 (twenty-two years ago)

All of them. You're like Sports Grinch McGrinch.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, I am not, that's just silly.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 17 October 2003 17:34 (twenty-two years ago)

so does my brother, a lifelong redsox fan, who is terminally ill and prolly wont see another year, does he count as one of the big fucking loser-boston fans?
just wondering...
