Dude, never say it out loud if you're the underdog.

Is there seriously only two Yank fans on here?
You have almost every Sox fan rooting for y’all!

I mean look:

The Rays have almost 400 comments on DRaysBay!!! That is something that they deserve credit for: their hardcore fans are EXTREMELY hardcore.

probably has nothing to do with

the team actually winning games… Nothing hardcore about that… Check out the archives from a year ago and you’ll see the true hardcore “rays” fans.

If they are on these blogs, they are most likely hardcore.

And trust me, I have chronicled the Rays’ bandwagon fans a ton on OTM.

Just in case you need proof:

Yeah, that was me. I also got banned for calling one of the admins on DRaysBay a moron. You might remember this:

I could give a shit about you, your comments or the rays bay.

I dont doubt that there are about 500-1000 “hardcore” rays fans. But lets not get crazy. this is the first year they have been successful. Obviously there are going to be a lot of fans chatting it up. Its the same reason there is no one here tonight.

This is just sad...

The game and the response of the fans on this blog. Both the Sox and Yank fans need to start being a lot more hardcore. Go Sox [and thanks for helping us get 1.5 games back from the Rats]!!!

I have way more comments on OTM than I do on Pinstripe Alley. I like to be informed about all the teams in the AL East, and y’all were playing a team that I wanted to lose on a night that my team was off.

Has Gardner swung the bat tonight?

(not a serious question)

by seanp23 on Sep 4, 2008 9:38 PM EDT   0 recs

Not that it matters

but Rasner should not get the ball again. Ditto Ponson, although it seems he’ll start this weekend.

It doesn’t make any sense to me why they keep running those two losers out there.

Could it be the lack of healthy starters?

Joba is still kinda recovering right? And when is Wang coming back?

The Rats announcers are so damn greedy:

They are complaining that Navarro was called out and was obviously safe. STFU!!! you’re up 6-0 in the top of the 8th inning! You don’t really need that run!!!!!!!!

Okay, i'm gone. Hope y'all can help us on 9/12-14

See y’all then or maybe on the last series of the year.

I was hoping your boys could give us a little more help

thanks for the first two, though

if

we have to lose, at least it’ll hurt the sawx. :)

by Travis G on Sep 5, 2008 2:22 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

UGhhh

These damn Yankees! Why do they always decide to play in the 9th inning only? It’s never enough.
