I suggest we start a boycott of all MLB games and merchandise. Let them know that we aren't okay with Boston beating Tampa Bay. Let them know that Boston should be in the World Series no longer!

I kind of agree. I'm getting a little tired of seeing and hearing about the Red Sox. It's even making me miss the Yankees winning pennants and world championships.
If ESPN didn't cover the Sox 24/7, it wouldn't be as bad or annoying.
Then boycott all of the other Major League Baseball teams that weren't good enough to make it to the postseason.Quote:

It's like a Hollywood train wreck... the better a team gets, the harder it is for people to just ignore them.Quote:

But this season it's just getting old. I haven't seen a defending champ get as much publicity as Boston has this season, since the Yankees were owning baseball.
Now if they pull this one out, we get to hear about "clutch" and "scrapping" and "playoff experience" for yet another year.
Go Rays!
Why would you boycott MLB?
What in the heck would that do?
Lose the MLB 20 dollars ;) You should know by now that Mets LIKES to be controversial & in 48 hours or so he will find another controversy....;)Quote:

The point seems to be, he doesn't want to see any more of the Red Sox. And I'm with him on that.
Me too, but I honestly never know with him.Quote:

It's OK to root against them, but you gotta give em props. They are a good run organization without a bunch of thug troublemakers.
I've been where you guys are...hating on the cowboys, yankees, 49's, Patriots, Bulls, Tiger Woods, and to a lesser extent the Braves & Bills. Boston is constantly in the news due mostly to the success of all their sports franchises of late.
the Red Sox are going to back to back titles. They are the best team this decade. Of course they are going to cover them.
This is dumb. And ESPN wasn't on the Yankees jock in the 90's when they were winning, right? :rolleyes:
Well I like the Sox, since the Dodgers lost, I'm rooting for Boston to go back-to-back. Not really fans of the Rays. I agree with cartman, they are the best team of this decade.
They won 2 championships and they're the best team? Try winning 4 championships and 6 pennants in 8 years. Then you're a dynasty.Quote:

Hey, it is not their fault! The Sox are trying to win, and they have every reason too. And ignore ESPN they are idiotsQuote:

Yeah, that makes sense :rolleyes:.
So metsguy, you're telling me if the Mets win two World Series in the next four years you wouldn't want them to go for another? You'd want them to just hang it up and let some else have their turn? Somehow I don't believe that.
And that applies to any fan of any team in any sport.
I do understand the "hatred" towards the Red Sox. If you're good people are gonna be jealous and they won't like you. But you guys can keep on b!tching about it and I'll just enjoy being a fan of a successful, championship winning team.
Lol, I am with you thereQuote:

Yankees only have 1 title this decade. Sox have two.
Sox win.
yanks have zero titles this century. The 21st century started in year 2001. :DQuote:

Shut up and stop your whining. You are so close to me putting you on the ignore listQuote:
