Screw the Sox!
I concur.
damn u Greg, always with the live chats with games Im at! lol, sock a sox fan for me...
Isn't it Game 154?
ok, we need to take at least 2 of 3 games this weekend, would be sweet justice to sweep them, and finish the season series @ 9-9... Have a great time at the game, & we do expect some photos from the game, GREG...
Go Yanks!!!
good start by joba, 13 pitches, now lets get him some run support..
Mario, I really dislike you. I hope Mario is not your real name, sounds like a gay-porn name.
A-BOMB!
bitch.
GO YANKEES!! FIGHT2x!!
YAY!!! TEIX!!!
Wow Cool keep on keeping on..
sorry anon i wasn't here for most of the game, YES that is my real name, and i'm very fucking proud of my name, you have the dumbest fucking name, gutless piece of shit, I'll make a fucking call and have you whacked, get over yourself ANON, guessing your name is Chester, you probably were abused as a child kids made fun of you, calling you chester, chester the child molestor...
guessing your in your 40's, divorced, your a few steps from being an alcoholic, you obviously don't have a single creative bone or thought in your overweight body...your going bald, you have to pay for sex, , dude grow the fuck up,
furthermore, NO ONE LIKES YOU...
and if you hate me that much, you have serious problems, name the time & place,
Mario, ignore that idiot. Sox fans are subhuman.
Anyway, it was a fun night at the stadium. The Yanks and Joba looked great, while at the same time making the Sox look mediocre and abused Varitek all night. Great win.
Little much
thanks greg, its one thing to try to zing me when i'm on here, but to say stuff when i'm not on here is just flatout cowardly.... just like the whole city of boston, the armpit of the USA...
What is, Mike?
Different Anon then the one above but seriously Mario? You sent 4 comments sounding pissed just because some anonymous person made fun of your name? If your get that upset I would hate to see you in real life, unless your just trying to act tough on the internet. I am sorry to say this but you cam across looking just as dumb, if not dumber than the other anon. Furthermore, don't even think of calling me the same Anon as he is. I frequently comment on this blog, am a frequent chat room chatter(assorted celebs to lighten the mood) and have been a diehard yankee fan my entire life. I post as anon simply because I don't have, nor want, a google account so don't think I am the same as the idiot.
Anyway, great game all around tonight. Best sign was Joba looking good and if he can give us that in a game 4 of the ALCS then it looks like we can make the world series and win.
