Better rivalry now L.A.-S.F. or Bos-NYY ?

[Twins Fanatic]

How is this even a question? Really?

[giantspwn]

i alkways find it hilarious people ***** at ESPN for that. if you don;'t like ti, dont watch it. watching it is why they keep putting it on TV

Most people don't but when it's the only place to watch it, your options are kind of limited.

Exactly. There is a reason as to why ESPN does a lot of the same stuff. It sells. Jets suck but they talk about them often. Why? Huge market and it brings ratings.

Or maybe because there's a time difference and most people are asleep for West Coast games? Also, last I checked there's some big market's on the west coast. In fact LA's the biggest.

Hypocritical to say both of you wouldn't have some reservations of a biased opinion if a team you didn't follow was forced down your throat.

100% false. yankees red sox games are normally some of the highest rated games out there. people are certianl;y ewatching, if most people didnt watch, the games would not get the ratings that keep them on. in reality people just bithc at the problem, while at the same time contribute to its cause

[EwanSellars]

red sox yankees is great when theyre both competitive going to fenway in a sox yanks game is so great but also what about the cards astros a couple years ago like 2003-07 i think im not really sure but the cards always knocked the astros out until 05 when the astros beat them

because black people don't run the media and don't have any control over the content, however, when looking at what gets played in the news cycles, a little white girl getting kidnapped will always get billing over a little black girl getting kid napped, and i don't think people are racist for voting a certain way. Are all Mormons racist for voting for Romney?

That's like arguing that the news isn't liberal because the media is ran by liberal journalists.


And to your question, A does not equal B. Which is why I responded to odominator.

Stowe's beating getting publicity is because it was based on fan over-reaction. Had nothing to do with him being white, and if he had been black, there still would have been the same public out-cry. A man was basically murdered (not quite) or rather beaten to near death for being a fan. Maybe he was being obnoxious, maybe he deserved to have his *** whooped in perspective. But regardless of what anyone says, you never deserve to have your life ruined forever for the things you say.

The joke you made earlier was clearly crossing the line, very unacceptable, and it looks like it's trolling. You can make those jokes if you want, privately, with your friends or at home. But this is a public forum, where racism, gay intolerance, and otherwise, hurtful and hateful jokes against a race, religious group, etc are not acceptable. Making the joke you made was clearly crossing the line, and was completely out of nowhere and not acceptable. Don't do it here again. Jokes in bad taste are not accepted on PSD.

And this entire discussion about race is not only off-topic, but shouldn't even be discussed any further in a baseball thread, if you guys can't talk about the topic at hand, I'll close the thread. Stowe's beating is unacceptable regardless of his background, skin, religious beliefs or whatever. And making any kinds of jokes in that regard will now be deemed offensive and action will be taken upon them. Discuss it if you like, like adults. Consider this a formal warning to anyone who wants to make a Stowe joke in the future.

Well said, Jeffy.

As to your murder comment - they two scumbags were charged with Mayhem which carries a max of life in prison, like murder. That easily explains the severity if their heinous actions.
I'm not sure of an appropriate venue to make jokes about this topic or make jokes about race, religious beliefs or sexual orientation but I do know this is NOT it.

Sports....(Pro SPORTS Daily) keep it that way.

ESPN says it's Yanks/Red Sox so it must be true. You can also see this since they broadcast almost all of their games.

And nobody really gave a hoot about Yankees/Red Sox games before 1995.

[The SF Giant]

The Astros wish they could be mediocre.

[Pinstripe power]

The Astros wish they could be mediocre.

hence my point of it being a rivalry for them

[BKLYNpigeon]

The Dodgers and Giants Rivalry started in April 18, 1883.

The Yankees and Red Sox Rivalry started in April 26, 1901.

Whats everyone think is the better rivalry at the moment?

It has to be Dodgers/Giants. The red sox have not even been in the playoffs for years now and have turned into one of the worst teams/organizations in baseball. The rivalry with the always in contention Yankees will be on hold for who knows how long. Too bad. It is barely even fun when we beat them now.
Hope they get better.

[DodgerBlue24]

Like someone said already the Dodgers and Giants fans really do hate each other... I live in Central CA, Which is covered in Orange and as you can tell I wear the Blue proudly... No NY/BOS game has ever had a hitter charge the mound and take out the catcher with a bat like Marichal did... Dodger/Giants carried over from NY when both teams moved West... Just nobody really outside of the west coast sees is because all sports channels focus on nothing but the AL East... 30 min shows you have 24 mins of Yankee/Red Sox highlights and fit 28 other teams into 6 mins...

The Giants won the world series but MLB TV, Sports Center and everything else wanted to talk about Bobby V being fired...

Dodgers/Giants hands down... THE BEST in all of sports

[benzni]

its gotta be Marlins Rays
