just as the phils finally winning 3 years ago... the same thing applied to the rangers....fans waited many many years and it will never leave our memory ....do we want to win again..of course
but as diehard hockey fans ..that magical year means the world to us
hate to break it to you, but we don't bring up 2008 much at all anymore. keep holding onto 1994 though man
what did u smoke this morning???
it's all the phils have..besides us busting you up in 09
when was the last time we talked about it in here? ...other than in response to some nonsense post from you about a championship from almost 2 decades ago?

This whole argument is so dumb. Yes, hopefully Colon does get back on the mound because he has better numbers than Cliff Lee this year and is getting paid $1 million. I wanted Lee on the Yankees as much as the next guy but maybe not paying a 37 year old guy $25 million isn't the worst thing in the world.
You can say all you want about Colon and Lee and all that but the fact is, the Yankees have more resources than anyone in the game and the expectation every year is to win the world series, an expectation you are now seeing for the first time in your life. The Yankees will make moves that no other team in baseball can make and will be just fine, so talk all your shit now because in the long run I am pretty certain that the Yanks will be celebrating many more championships than the Phillies will.
serious question though - do yankees fans get any satisfaction out of winning? other than being able to sprout your mouths off do yankess fans actually get the thrill of victory because it sure as heck doesn't seem like it. is there a celebration or a sense of pride? because i don't see it.
and not saying i don't want to win 27 championships but i'm pretty sure a yankees fan could never understand the feeling of 2008. ill take the feeling of that ride to my grave and cherish every second of it forever. some of the moments i got to share with my family and friends during that ride can probably never be duplicated. and i'll make no apologies for that. maybe in that sense than one might equal 27. as i said above it sure as hell doesn't seem like yankees fans really enjoy winning.

I love every minute of it. Every one has a different feeling to it. 96 was the first in a long time and the first for Torre and most younger Yankees fans like myself. That is probably most comparable to 2008 for you. It had been a long time. 98 was the best team ever, 2000 was the subway series and 3 in a row. 2009 was just fucking awesome in every way being the first year at the new stadium and having one last championship for Jeter, Mo, Pettittee and Posada all together. I haven't seen 27 championships, I have seen 5 and they are all different and awesome in so may ways. Like you, each one has memories that will be there forever, both senitmental and from a baseball perspective.
Edit: Honestly, my favorite Yankees moment in my life time is probably the Boone home run. I have never been part of a more crazy celebration than that.

totally agree. fuck interleague. we were all a little worried about that series going in. if you're gonna win 1 out of 3, i guess it's good to beat the reigning cy young winner.
No shot hes playing, even if its just a sprain. Thats bad news.
Well that would be a break, although for some reason the Phillies usually handle him. Also no Jaime Garcia this series. It's the opposite of the M's series: we're sending 3 of 4 best starters and they are missing their best (this year at least).

4-6 weeks for Pujols. Small fracture. Certainly a blow but could have been much worse.

Yeah, I like them, but I thought they had an away jersey with PHILA. on the front.
In the later years they changed a lot - there's a website called uniforms through the years or something like that, but I can't find it.
They did some stuff when the A's came in 2003, back when the actual team was appealing. Nobody seems to care this time. It sucks that the city basically lost the history of 5 World Championships when the A's left.

if i was a real doctor do you think i'd be associating with the group in this thread?
Good to hear - it's bad for baseball when superstars like that have major injuries.
Of course, I don't think there's any way in hell he's getting $300M.

Speaking of which - are they doing anything for this series? Possibly wearing throwback's?
Haven't heard anything. Not even honoring the surviving members of the 1911 World Champions.

That would've been sweet to see Oakland wearing a jersey that said, "PHILA.", on the front.
More like a big A: http://www.philadelphiaathletics.org/history/1911anniversary.htm
I think they were great looking unis. My A's jersey is the best-looking jersey I've ever had.

Yeah, I like them, but I thought they had an away jersey with PHILA. on the front.
In the later years they changed a lot - there's a website called uniforms through the years or something like that, but I can't find it.
They did some stuff when the A's came in 2003, back when the actual team was appealing. Nobody seems to care this time. It sucks that the city basically lost the history of 5 World Championships when the A's left.
