I really did not need to see this with my morning coffee
A Big Apple newspaper has plunked a Doodle of a New York Yankees ad smack inside the pages of the Herald, a foray into enemy territory that will only rile the red-blooded denizens of Red Sox Nation.
Fenway Park goes dark now. For a while. No "Sweet Caroline." No "Dirty Water." No "Tessie" sweeping up on the big board while the Dropkick Murphys send everybody home with a smile.

Don't you have some profanity laden PM's from a boston.com sports editor on an ego trip to attend to?
Because the Marlins are appealing this verdict and because I know very little about the actual case other than the verdict, I can not comment yet on this. And I'm not going to comment on ridiculous remarks from a pitcher. Tying two inaccurate things together is something I should expect from no-name imbeciles. - John W. Henry, Owner, Boston Red Sox

I absolutely cannot believe that the Herald allowed that ad to be placed. Cannot believe it. If I were a Red Sox fan, I'd boycott the paper. Stirring the pot when the Yankees came to town.
"He knew, as he went after that ball, that he had a decision to make," said Tony Clark, who watched the play unfold from first base. "Either you let the ball drop and try to minimize the damage, or you make the catch and pay the consequences. He knew that, no doubt about it, and he chose B."
Ha Ha Ha that is funny. Not as funny as when they flew the plane over Boston during the ALCS last year but it is still pretty good.

Here's the thing Alex. The Red Sox play it up too.
So what's the difference between the low lifes at the Boston Herald and the low lifes in the executive office on Yawkey Way?

The article mentions that the Herald has a counter ad, can someone post it? They don't show it in the article.

Pretty funny stuff by the Daily News. Of course, it wasn't as good as what the Post did earlier in the season.
“I mean, people knew that Brown was out there, and that Randy was ornery all the time. And Pavano is whoever he is. But if you’re their manager, you can’t go out and write about them like that.”
All is fair in love and baseball. Although some editor may be in trouble in Boston.
I think that when you look at the past positions with other organizations, public statements, and actions of the ownership group it paints an extremely unflattering picture of the hand Red Sox fans have been dealt once again.Originally posted by MaineSoxFan

I don't think anybody has or should say that. This is the MAIN rivalry for the Yankees and we certainly do care very much about it. I think the argument that was being made on the board (which I didn't agree with) is that it isn't a real rivalry because of the lopsided results, and that it's only a rivalry to the fans. It didn't make sense to me, but it's certainly a different argument than you imply in your post.Originally posted by CrazyNY

Actually, I should have been more clear. You're right, you don't hear that much here. I'm more referring to the people on the street who say things like this. Frequently in Boston you'll hear people (people who wish they live in NYC) say how Boston has this inferiority complex and New Yorkers don't care about what happens up here--then they'll site the Sox-Yankees as an example. If I remember correctly, Boston magazine even had a cover story about this last year. I also have plenty of friends in NY who make the same argument.Originally posted by Alex

As for the Daily News's picture, well, hee! They certainly love that drawing, since as far as I know, this is the third time they've whipped it out in under a year. They had it in the paper (not in color, though) the day after Game 7 last year (which is the one I have on my wall), they had it in the paper (in color) during the last Red Sox/Yankees game that took place in the Stadium (and told people to bring it to the game; I think they were used to count strike-outs), and now this. I don't know if it's in the Daily News today since I haven't picked it up yet but if it is, hee again.
Hmmm... weird. I think people in general just think locally, you know. But baseball is the thing that ties these two cities together. Otherwise, it'd be just another city.Originally posted by CrazyNY

BTW, I lived in Boston for 2.5 years. I loved it. Still do. I loved everything about it except the team.

You're right. Overconfidence makes me extremely nervous. But at least I know it's overconfidence on the fans part - and the media which just panders to fans. The players themselves, I believe and hope, would be smarter than that.Originally posted by nufced1918
