Murderers who? Tigers take 3 in a row!

Wow. Was that the Tigers on steroids or the worst postseason performance by an offensive juggernaut ever?

These are the Tigers that were freefalling and limped into the playoffs. The Yanks were well rested and had arguably the best offense in decades.

Must have been the tension in the clubhouse A-Rod referred to. Or was it everyone besides Jeter? Games 3 & 4 were just embarassing. They didn't even show up...

A-Rod now hitting in the 8 spot was 1-14, Giambi 1-8, Sheffield couldn't catch anything at first, and Torre inserted Melky for an offensive spark. Melky?

Torre always gets the credit when they win, but he should get the lions share of blame for this one. A-Rod will be the villian and take most of the heat. He should take some, but Torre is the one that lost control of the clubhouse, and ultimately team chemistry. The Tigers had more energy, more emotion, and just plain wanted it more.

Thats 3 straight playoff series losses now, and 3-10 in their last 13 postseason games. Keep counting those AL East crowns (and ALDS losses).

A few randoms...

Best sign in the playoffs? "Hey Johnny you left your playoff beard in Beantown"... Priceless...

Best random moment? Jim Leyland goes to the fence to kiss his wife & kids thru the fence after clinching. Nice moment. Then some random dude sticks his lips thru the fence & Leyland kisses him on the hat. Hilarious...

Best fan celebration? Detroit. The players hive fiving the fans, then spraying them down with champagne standing on the dugouts. Congrats Detroit, its been a while. It's also a little bit sweeter beating the Yanks...

"Best fan celebration? Detroit. The players hive fiving the fans, then spraying them down with champagne standing on the dugouts." Hmm, the Mets did the same thing when they won the NL East, you did not comment on that. Could it be because you actually don't like the Yankees?

..don't forget they (Bosox) suffer from one World Series Championship in 88 years :(

Next disappointment for Sox:
Ortiz doesn't win MVP.

Right. Cause Yankee fans and media would never be mean to one of thier own, like, say, A-Rod...

Keep trying though...

Red Sox fans are no better than Yankee fans. My 6 year old got spit on at Fenway Park and I know about a woman who got punched in the face in front of her little kid by some drunken loser....all because they were wearing an opposing teams jersey. And the fact that so called fans like yourself have classless websites like NYCHOKE proves my point. So, before you want to bash another teams fanbase, take a long hard look at your own. RSN=the biggest bandwagon in the history of sports!

OK. Shall we compare horror stories with Yankee stadium? There's always a jerk at every stadium. So, don't pretend it doesn't happen at yours, or it's less offensive. A jerk is a jerk.

Just because we beat you Yankee fans to the punch on the whole choke thing, don't come crying to us. It's too late for you now, the Yanks own the biggest choke in sports history...

As far as being classless, call it what you like. It's not mean spirited, it's meant to be fun. There is no Yankees S*$k anywhere on the site.

We're not claiming to be better than Yankee fans, just give them a hard time.

So lighten up Francis...

Nobody is crying about the choke thing. Im just pointing out that red sox fans have no class. To be so obsessed with a team losing rather than your team winning is not only ignorant, but its not being a real fan. (But I wouldnt expect anything more from bandwagon fans.)
Lets not talk about choking...red sox invented that, but real baseball fans had enough class not to become obsessed with it. Hold on to 2004 though...we understand its all you losers have.
Oh and no one needs to lighten up...you need to try growing up!

Staff said...

A Yankee fan never became obsessed with 1918, right?

Wow. That was class at its pinnacle.

By your definition (to be obsessed with a team losing), aren't you classifying Yankee fans as ignorant and not real fans?

You can dish it out but not take it? Lame.

If the Sox invented the choke, the Yanks perfected it. At least they're better at something...

Im not the one with a lame website about a team losing, so I dont dish anything out. Thats the difference between a real fan and you. But I expected a response like that. Its typical. Nothing I havent heard before. Keep telling yourself all the little things that make you feel better, buddy.
Oh and dont bother responding because Im done trying to talk to ignorant people...its useless.
Good luck in 07!
