Boston Sports

[The Don Killuminati]

This year is unreal for boston....

#2 team in NCAA football.
Patriots are un-frickin-real
Red Sox in the World Series again, after coming back from 3-1.

All they need now is the NBA, NCAA Basketball, and Hockey.

[Ben Urich]

Celtics?

[The Don Killuminati]

the celtics dont dominate the NBA... i meant that as in the sports they arent dominating right now...

[Steve Rogers]

With Garnett, Pierce and Allen, they just might dominate the NBA. Bruins are 5-2 right now, which isn't great, but it's great for the B's. It's also great to be from Mass. right now. I was just talking to a co worker about this this morning. This might (emphasis on might) be the best year for Boston sports in a looooooooooooooooong time.

[The Don Killuminati]

yea, im from atlanta though, so im jealous of boston sports lol....my braves suck, my thrasher suck, my falcons suck, my hawks suck in the regular season but our 5-1 now preseason (which doesnt say much) but they are younger and getting better each season...

but Boston this year is unreal...if the celtics do what they talent says they can do, boston has potentially a superbowl champion, nba champion, bcs champion, world series champion, hell even throw the potential stanley cup in there.

i dont think ive ever seen one city dominate like this.

I'd sell my soul for that. Sorr 'bout your Thrashers, buddy. They are having a real tough time down there.

everytime someone says Thrashers i die a little inside, so thanks for speeding it up lol

[FaT_tONle]

Imagine Red Sox Pats Celtics BC all win championships this year... that is enough for some other cities to make sports fans happy for a life time.

[Steve Rogers]

Thrashers! Thrashers! Thrashers! Thrashers!

[The Don Killuminati]

if only there was a 'deadface' icon....if only....

[The Apocalypse]

The Indians played terrible, the Soxs got lucky...

[Steve Rogers]

if only there was a 'deadface' icon....if only....You could post the Thrashers logo. Hey don't worry about it. Realism will catch up to my Bruins and they will suck too. Besides, the Thrashers don't suck. Wadell sucks.

[The Don Killuminati]

The Indians played terrible, the Soxs got lucky...


baaaaahahahahhahahahahaha....

outscored 35-7 in the past 3 games (something along those lines)....thats quite a streak of luck.

[The Apocalypse]

Like I said, the Indians played terrible.

You've got to be a Yankees fan

[The Apocalypse]

You've got to be a Yankees fan

I am but not a die-hard fan anymore. I don't hate the Soxs. They have a great team, but I think the Indians lost the series more then the Red Soxs won it.

[The Don Killuminati]

Like I said, the Indians played terrible.

played terrible? or got shut down by the green monster? no matter who you are, its TOUGH to go into boston and win.

[The Don Killuminati]

i think the sox just got hot, especially when they came home.

[Steve Rogers]

i think the sox just got hot, especially when they came home.When they were down 3-1 I kept telling everyone to wait. They rallied from 3-1 to defeat the Yankees in '05. I said they'd do it again. No one believed me. I said, wait until they get back to Fenway.

[The Don Killuminati]

they came back from 3-0 with the yankees, which is unheard of. its only happened once!!!

[Excel]

HELL YES!!!

[AhabTheArab]

**** everything boston.

[Dodger]

they came back from 3-0 with the yankees, which is unheard of. its only happened once!!!

and it was in hockey!

[DarthRekal]

Go ROX!!!!!!!! :up:

go COLTS!!!!!!!!!!! :up:

go BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!! :up::oldrazz:

[Steve Rogers]

I spoke too soon. Boston is sucking ass tonight against Montreal.

[The Don Killuminati]

serves you right for killing half of me.

[Steve Rogers]

serves you right for killing half of me.Karma. What a b**ch, right?

[Jerry!]

baaaaahahahahhahahahahaha....

outscored 35-7 in the past 3 games (something along those lines)....thats quite a streak of luck.

Besides Game 3 every game was a blow out for the winning team. It was a weird 7 game series.

[Immortalfire]

I'd sell my soul for that. Sorr 'bout your Thrashers, buddy. They are having a real tough time down there.

MY Thrashers.

[Steve Rogers]

MY Thrashers.Yeah, I wouldn't be too happy about that. :woot:

[Immortalfire]

Dark days come upon us all. They just seem a lot darker when you've done nothing but improve over the past few years, and you start a new season like this.

[Steve Rogers]

Wadell :down:

[Shuley]

I remember 1986 when all 4 Boston teams were in the Stanley Cup/World Series/Super Bowel ect...They all lost except The Celtics when they beat the LA Lakers...F the Lakers and F the Yankees.Boston is famous for starting wars.

[Erzengel]

In 1986, it was the Mets that beat the Sox. :huh:

"It goes through Buckner!!" :huh:

[Showtime]

Buckner has been officially erased for existence.

[Erzengel]

My sister was a HUGE Mets fan, and I remember the video she bought about the win afterwards that chronicled the whole season.

That phrase and "Swing and a miss. Swing and a miss. Struck him out, struck him out." after Jesse Orasco? through the final out are pretty much one of the most vivid sports announcing memories that I personally can recall.

[Showtime]

That was huge for the Mets. What is great about it is, that most people forget there was even a game 7!

[Erzengel]

The latter quote was from Game 7. The "Buckner" was from game 6. Whatever happened to him besides the death threats?

[Showtime]

Well he played some of 87 in Boston, and I believe he asked to be traded. He came back to Boston in 1990 though and was absolved of all his sins.

lol I do talk like that since I'm from the Eastern part of Mass. But I don't say Pissah anymore but I do say wicked every now and again.

[The Incredible Hulk]

EFF THE CELTICS, SOX AND PATRIOTS(i actually kinda like the Patriots)

EFF Boston College! :cmad:

[Shuley]

In 1986, it was the Mets that beat the Sox. :huh:

"It goes through Buckner!!" :huh:
I remember that. Buckner had to be escorted out by cops cause they thought he was gonna get shot.

[Jerry!]

Yeah I feel sorry for him. I hope he didn't actually think he "sinned" and had to be forgiven for it. They still blew Game 7. Its the same thing with the whole Bartman situation with the Cubs. I don't call that game the "Bartman game" I call it the "Alex Gonzalez Game" because right after that incident a double play ball that would have ended the inning bounced to then SS Gonzalez and he bobbled it and everyone was safe. But no one remembers him.

[The Don Killuminati]

celtics 20-2 (what was tonights score with pistons?)
patriots 14-0.

[Erzengel]

:cough:

[Ultimate_Superman]

I am glad New England lost. I can't stand Boston teams.

[Obi-Ron]

What the hell is wrong with you? Huh? Why did you have to bring that up? I'm gonna go cry now.


:csad:
I'll drink to that.

[Superman79]

Meh, I couldn't care less about the Pats losing.

As the Red Sox are starting 2008 as the WORLD CHAMPIONS :D :p

[ShadowBoxing]

I could definitely care about the Pats losing. I'm downright angry it.

[Superman79]

Sorry bro. :(

I'd feel worse for the Pats, but for Belichek being such a douche...

[Obi-Ron]

And a cheater...

[Immortalfire]

And an all around not nice guy.

[Super_Ludacris]

Well its like Detroit last year (06-07). Not really as dominante as Boston this year but between college football,Hockey, NBA and Baseball they had a window in each sport to win a title. Nothing happened.

But hey Detroit and Boston fans should be proud of there teams current consistency

[Obi-Ron]

The weird thing is, I watched the Super Bowl last night with the same (New Yorker) friend I saw game 6 of the '86 World Series with.

Damn, that guy's bad luck.

[Super_Ludacris]

Well it depends on if your a NY or Boston fan.....

[Obi-Ron]

Well I'm from Boston, so there ya go.

[The Don Killuminati]

i hate boston sports, im all for atlanta...but i had to make this thread bc of the amazing sports year boston ...WAS having :)

[bullets]

Aside from the superbowl last night it's been a great year for boston . It's great to be at the bar and able to celebrate . I spent last saturday night at a bar that some of the Bruins went to after the game.

It doesn't say that Belichek is a dirty cheater.

[Super_Ludacris]

So your from Boston but dont like the Pats I assume?

[Obi-Ron]

Don't like cheaters. The team is OK, the coach is an ass.

[ShadowBoxing]

Sorry bro. :(

I'd feel worse for the Pats, but for Belichek being such a douche...
He might be a douche, but he's a damn good coach...and before we go into "Spygate" or all that nonsense, all the teams in the NFL spy on the other team's while they are practicing. The Pats just got caught doing it, but to claim this makes them cheaters in relation to the rest of the league is ridiculous.

Damn good coach...no doubt there, and 'Spygate' is nothing new for any team...I just meant his general douchy-ness... :woot:

[Gamma Ray]

About time NY put Boston in its place... Hoping for a Yankee win later this year.

[ShadowBoxing]

No offense, and not even speaking as a Red Sox fan, but the Yankees are going to suck for quite a while. Next year will most definitely be a rebuilding year, especially since they didn't pick up Santana and lost Joe Torre. Joe is the only reason that team did well. The Yankees will be lucky to make it into the playoffs next year, hell, they'd be lucky to be in third place in their division.

My advice to New Yorkers, put your faith in the Mets. That's the only shot in Baseball you got.

[Obi-Ron]

Doesn't matter what every other team is or isn't doing. The Patriots knowingly broke the rules to give them an unfair advantage over other teams. How is this not cheating?

[ShadowBoxing]

Doesn't matter what every other team is or isn't doing. The Patriots knowingly broke the rules to give them an unfair advantage over other teams. How is this not cheating?
Yes it does:huh: . Cheating is defined in relative terms. If all teams spy on other teams, which they do, then it's a level playing field. The Patriots aren't giving themselves some unfair advantage, in fact they'd be knowingly putting themselves at a disadvantage by not doing it. This would be like someone singling out Ronnie Coleman and saying "He's taking steroids, he's cheating in Bodybuilding" when the fact is every one he's competing against is taking them (and yes, we have laws against doing them).

Rules in sports are made to be broken and circumvented. In college Rugby they used to coach us in "dirty" playing techniques, in soccer in High School they used to show us how to foul someone without getting caught. All teams, coaches and managers understand that rules in sports only end up applying to those who get caught.

[Obi-Ron]

Yeah, if you're a cheater. :whatever:

[CalebYourMaster]

maybe its on the back of t-shirt :oldrazz:

[Excel]

Pissed about the Pats but C's playing LeBron tonight will help me forget :) :)

[E. Nygma]

Patriots choked
BC Eagles choked
Celtics will choke
Bruins wont make it far enough to choke

screw Boston sports

[Superman79]

About time NY put Boston in its place... Hoping for a Yankee win later this year.

BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woot:

[Fran]

No way the Yankees win this year... Boston is the best team in the AL, with Detroit right behind them.

[DarthRekal]

GIANTS BABY!.. no sports sweep this year:grin:


Lakers gonna take out the Celtics too

[Erzengel]

No way the Yankees win this year... Boston is the best team in the AL, with Detroit right behind them.
You also told me last year that the Giants weren't going to make the playoffs without Tiki. :o

I don't think cheating should ever be perceived as "acceptable"; if this is the case, then sports will lose its appeal since victories will be seen as tainted and as a result of good cheating.

[Fran]

I plead the fifth.

But my previous statement stands.

[E. Nygma]

with Curt Schilling injured now i dont think this is a very good week for Boston sports at ALL.

[Jerry!]

Injured from what? Trying to finally remove his head from his ass? Mercy...

[Spidey-Bat]

with Curt Schilling injured now i dont think this is a very good week for Boston sports at ALL.

They have the pitching depth to survive without him.

[ShadowBoxing]

I've played Rugby, Soccer, and scored Vollyball, Basketball and Football games throughout my High School and College athletic careers. I've found in all those years, you can take steroids, tape practices and even play dirty, but at the end of the day the better team typically wins. Cheating ultimately does not help you much in an arena whose victor is largely determined by talent.

[ShadowBoxing]

Our pitching line up is pretty boss even without him, but he's got plenty of time to recover before the season starts.

[Spidey-Bat]

Not really. Remember, Sox start March 25th.

[ShadowBoxing]

Not really. Remember, Sox start March 25th.
Oh, yeah, it's not that far off.

[E. Nygma]

Schilling's injury i really dont think is going to "hurt" the Sox all that much. But it wont help them either. I wasn't one expecting 17 wins out of Schilling like in seasons past, i mean he's 41 years old and has been breaking down for years. But i suppose having him is better than not having him.

[Showtime]

He's a legend to most in this town, but the loss of Shilling doesn't really hurt the Red Sox as bad as it would have in years past.

[Nightmare]

They have the pitching depth to survive without him.

Meaning wakefield and matsuzuka?? Beckett was the only one with an era under 4 on that rotation.

[Spidey-Bat]

Meaning wakefield and matsuzuka?? Beckett was the only one with an era under 4 on that rotation.

They have Buchholz to take a spot. Matsuzaka will be better.

[Jerry!]

Who knows how well Bucholz will do though? As far a Dice-K, I'm really not sure about him either way. Seemed like as the season played through they were starting to figure him out. Wakefield is Wakefield.

[Spidey-Bat]

Buchholz is one of the highest rated prospects and proved he could pitch at the ML level last year in his appearences. Dice-K will have less pressure and will have 1 year of ML experience under his belt. If Beckett can have the bounce-back year he did in 07, Dice-K can have one as well. Not saying he wins 20 games, but he can be an effective #2.
