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

You have no idea then. I wore a Yankee hat to help my uncle move to the suburbs of Boston and A 70 something year old grandma walked right up to me a 6'3 man and cursed me out. Red Sox fans haaaaaaaate Yankee fans with a passion

Well....since that happened to you that one time it must be true across the board. But really, I'm sure both have had plenty of their moments.

Let me help you all out with this one. Anytime a person or persons get in a fight over a sports team they are a moron. There is never any excuse. Sticks & Stones....

Say what you want about the other team and if you visit your opponents ballpark expect to get verbally abused, it goes with the territory. Throwing objects or fighting over the team/game itself is ridiculous.

Does not matter who said what first.....sticks & stones.

This whole argument is ridiculous....

Oh yea, and SFrush90,

if you make another bad comment about the dodgers I am going to punch you in the mouth.

i loved these posts in juxtaposition of one another.

[spliff(TONE)]

while i think it's a little weird that you made two separate post in response to one post of mine, w/e it's not big deal.

I have never stated that i know exactly what went on, i thought that was clear when i said that we will never know what really happened.

You throw out a comment like "we will never know what really happened" right in the middle of a paragraph where you're saying he was drunk, talking ****, and wandering off alone....basically stating that he had it coming. Those statements just didn't mesh together well.

Also, i guess i disagree with censorship, the way i see it is that no one has to read or listen to a word i say, and i never would make anyone, though i don't see why i or anyone else should censored, I wasn't using any vulgarity, i just referenced a tragic event and put it in juxtaposition with a joke, that's about it. Then i did it again with a dodger fan who died, but wasn't censored which i find weird,

i never compared myself to Carlin or Tosh, just referencing their work to point out that dark and mean stuff can be funny, and that i don't see why Brian Stowe should be off limits, if other people can make jokes about much more tragic things than some drunk guy getting beaten to death.


PS. the way you worded "Mobile Vegetable" is pretty funny, however isn't that dark or mean? Maybe that post should be censored

I disagree with censorship too. However, you'd have to be extraordinarily dense to think that the same rules apply to us on PSD as to comedians doing a standup routine (a profession given the biggest leeway in terms of talking about off-limit subjects). We get reprimanded for simply calling an idiot an idiot around here, so your posts being deleted really shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Oh? Ciaban derailing another thread whilst baiting Giants fans? Nothing new here.

first of all i don't bait anyone.
secondly, why only stop with Giants fans, why not include everyone?

So.... this thread has taught me:

1. If your a Dodger fan, you say the SF-LAD Rivalry is better

2. If your a Giants fan, see #1

3. If you are a Yankees fan, the Red Sox-Yanks rivalry is better

4. If you are a Red Sox fan, see #3.

Right now, I think its the West Coast rivalry, mostly in part because the Red Sox and Yankees have slowed donw their spending. One of the reasons the NYY/BOS rivalry was so heated was because it lasted 365 days a year through the offseason. In years past, it was are the Red Sox/Yankees going to get Sabathia/Texeria/Matt Holiday/etc etc etc.

Now, NY and BOS want to get their payrolls under the luxury tax threshold (178 mill) and this has led to less competition in the offseason. They are both smarter for it, but it is becoming tough for these teams to keep their rivalries going.

If you don't spend the way they have in the past, there are going to be years where the on field results are less than desirable. You have good years and you have bad years, and the Sox/Yanks are going to find that out if they decide to be smart with their money.

Plus, BOS had an awful year and are in a mini rebuild.

I punched a Red Sox fan once.

Felt good

Was his Dad pissed?

Dodgers/Giants. The Red Sox/Yankees rivalry has lost a lot of its magic the past few years.

I've lived my entire life in Boston and I've barely seen times in which Red Sox fans escalated a problem with Yankee fans to the point of it not being good natured fun. Obviously it happens, but I see people constantly wearing Yankees gear in Boston proudly. Most Boston fans rib them.

But no question, there are plenty of people that have an issue with it and start fights. But that's not even close to the norm.

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.

I read it on the Internet too...it has to be true

They really do broadcast all of their games but with dodgers vs giants we're lucky to get one out of three.

That tends to happen when one of the rival teams starts to suck a lot. Hard to get worked up about a rivalry when either A) Your team is going to easily ruin your rival or B) Your rival is going to easily ruin your team.

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.
