<Yawn> 26 blah blah blah . . . You know as well as I do that the only important Championship is the last one. Unless, of course, something truly memorable happens. Say, for instance, a team loses a seven game series after being up three games, leading into the ninth of game four. Kind of merits special recognition, wouldn't you say?
Why do you always bring up ancient history that occured before anyone here was born? That's like saying we should be ashamed to live in the United States because we had slavery 200 years ago.
sunday,you don't know jack. It's more recent is all. Was it a huge choke? Yes,absolutely. But the Sox made a near century out of it. They found new creative ways to do it all the time. They were like artists of the choke. They finally got one on us,and that is why it's so big. Because the likelyhood of it happening again is very ...unlikely. So you guys have to get as much out of it as you can. Win one,youre lucky. Win 2,youre good. Win three,youre the Yankees!
You don't need to tell me about Red Sox chokes. I've lived through a dozen or more of them. Surprising, though, after all this time, you guys still don't get that GYC isn't about the Red Sox; isn't about the Mets; isn't about anyone else in baseball.

:rofl: I guess you are right. I just don't understand the GYC. It just doesn't register. I just have no idea how it is to focus all my attention on the team i don't like rather tha n the team i supposedly root for. :wink: I guess the Yanks have givin me enough through mine,my fathers and my grandfathers life for that not to happen.
OK then the Sox last title is irrlevant since it's not the most recent? and you are telling me you'd rather have 1 title in 87 years than 4 in the last 10 and 26 in the span it took you to go from 5 to 6? OK, since we were born the Yanks have 6 Championships which is 5 more than Boston and the Mets and 4 more than the Mets and Boston combined. is that better?
I'll treasure the memory, or course; but, for the purposes of this GYC thread, it's not relevant at all.
If that helps you rationalize the greatness of the Yankees then continue doing it but I'd do the last 10 years over in a heartbeat. i'll take one collapse w/ 4 mroe Championships thrown in. EVERY other MLB team would do anything they could to have the success we've had the last 10 years.
Oh,it stung,i won't lie there. It's funny because the night of the first Sox win I was with my ex at Mohegan sun gambling and enjoying the game on the big screen and there were a bunch of Sox fans there. I boldly said The Sox will NEVER beat the Yankees. Thank god I wasn't there for game 4.
has any team ever lost a seven game series, up by 3 games? and going into the ninth with the lead of game 4, and with the highest payroll in baseball? Anyone? Has this even been done?
I don't know.has any team ever won 26 championships and 39 pennants? Has any team ever been known as the most successful team of a century? not sure,you?
Who said anything about this country? I'm just proving him wrong, Manchester United is a better team than the Yankees.
