Boston, Theo Epstein, Leash

PJ_Lukin

Man, yesterday was a BAD DAY for fans of both the NY Yankees and Pearl Jam. I didn't think there was anything that could make me feel bad about a PJ show until last night. Theo playing RITFW and they play LEASH, on the same night, in BOSTON? For Fucks sake, it is like watching your girlfriend with another man! As a New Yorker, this is not easy.

Anyways, congratulations to those lucky fans who were in attendance. A historical night for sure!

Maybe Brian Cashman will get up and duet with Fitty Cent next time he rocks MSG.

I was thinking Cashman probably is a Scott Stapp fan.

Although it's probably more like Indigo Girls

All I said was I feel bad. Never said a bad word about anyone and this is what happens. I even congratulated those in attendance.

Some people have no respect for others opinions.

Never underestimate the hatred of the Yankees in Boston ;-)

Nice sentiment though in your note. Personally, while bragging rights arguments can be fun at times... seems kinda stupid considering how many epic shows have been played everywhere. Boston has had great shows.. but Philly 03 and 05 were amazing, MSG has had many great shows... hell, one of my favorite boots of all time is Noblesville 03.. maybe Indiana should get in on the argument. While it seems very obvious Pearl Jam loves Boston.. it seems just as obvious they have much love for a lot of cities

Just enjoy it. Why do people have to be insulting? You can make comments without being insulting. It used to be like that around here......

Sorry if you took offense man, but my comment was meant to be humorous with a slight ring of truth as I remember watching a televised interview with Epstein and Cashman together, and when Theo's love of music and PJ came up, Cashman was asked about his tastes and said he was more of a hip-hop guy.
Don't take every little thing on a message board to heart.

as a new yorker and die hard yankee fan who was at both boston shows and lived 2 blocks from fenway for the better part of the last 3 years, i was AMAZED there was no yankees suck chant. you get 10 new englanders, or maybe 6 newton mush bostonians together and it's bound to happen. i mean shit, it happened at the paul mccartney concert last year. when theo came out and eddie put on a francona jersey (which i thought was pretty cool, people who wear manager jerseys are awesome) i was bracing for it, but maybe the red sox fans have realized that they should LOVE their team instead of HATING another one. no hard feelings though. theo is a fine human being and a good gm

i think someone needs to throw up a yankee damon jersey in east rutherford next week in retaliation.

i went up to boston for the two VFC warmups in 2004, and without thinking twice i wore my trusty yankees hat. it was interesting to say the least.. one rather large fellow came up behind me at boston beer works before the show and said in my ear, "if there weren't so many people in here, i would cut your f*ckin throat". i think he was only half-kidding too..

then after the show, walking out of the fleet center another rather large dude put his arm around me and said, "you know, we don't appreciate your kind up here.. but since you're a pj fan, me and my buddies won't rough you up."

all in good fun

now that was in 2004, about a month before the world series.. i'm guessing there would be a little less hosility up there these days towards us yankee fans. i wish i could have found out first hand these last couple of days, as amazing as the 2 shows were.. damn work commitments

I went to the REM show in 2004 (please no comments - an anniversary present for my wife) at the Fleet shortly after the Red Sox won the World Series.

Stipe, who had done well up until that point in wishing us well for winning, then blew it by singing "Leaving New York" and was booed roundly throughout. Never quite got the crowd back after that.

I never quite got this mentality. Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm a Boston fan (and I'm self admittedly a "sunshine" Sox fan :eek: ). I'd rather a Boston team win than any one else. The 'yankees suck' chant is pure amusement on my part. But I could really care less if you like the team and proudly display it with a hat, jersey, what ever.

I love that line, also Jays are taking the division, or at least finishing somewhere in the top three this year

LIVE WITH IT. During the 1st VFC show in 04 in Boston, we chanted "Yankees Suck!" and that was during the playoffs.

You come to Boston, that's what you get. You go to NYC...same thing.

Yankee fans can be as bad as Sawks fans.

Don't deny it.
