I share in your hatred of the Sox, but why so much from a Pirates fan?

being a fan of a small market team, i practically dislike any team that spends so much money while my team is left in the gutter.

i dont like the sox because liking the sox is a fad just like liking harry potter or being a metrosexual. im a senior at a western pennsylvania university and i see more sox hats worn than pirate hats.

not only that, but their fans whine about not winning the world series (until this year)... they have over a 100 million payroll and they couldnt win the big one until now. my team has a 35 million dollar payroll if that and they struggle to get great attendance every year even if we have the best ballpark in baseball.

yes, PNC Park is the best ballfield in america. fenway park and yankee stadium are over-rated.

i wanna see boston fans go through what ive gone through 13 straight losing seasons with a whiny owner who doesnt spend enough money on his ballclub to make them better.

pshaw on boston and new york.

So blame it on your owner. Don't get mad at teams with owners that spend money to win games. My favorite team, the Yankees, have a $200 Million dollar payroll, with two real starting pitchers. So don't think spending money automatically means championships.

I'm going to PNC Park on September 3rd so I'll see what type of ballpark it is. I don't think it'll touch the mystique and aura of ither Yankee Stadium or Fenway Park, but of course it'll probably be better just because it's newer.

well then you really have no room to talk then. youre used to a winning team because your owner buys players like baseball cards. i think the red sox and the yankees ruin baseball for a lot of us.

when one team keeps winning and winning it gets really old and thats the way it is with baseball. the red sox and the yankees just keep winning and winning and its boring as hell.

they run away with every player and sign them to multi-million dollar deals. believe me, im liking the fact that the chicago white sox are the best team in the AL. i wish more and more small market teams would stand up for their rights and demand more and more revenue sharing.

have fun at PNC. its a great stadium with a great vista from the seats.

Obviously the same :razz:

im glad we have another pirates fan on the forums \:D/

You are my new best friend. \:D/ I am a hardcore Bruins fan.I have tons of Bruins cards and memorabilia.My favorites are my autographed Ray Bourque stick and my autographed "game used" Glen Murrey stick.Glen is from Bridgewater,Nova Scotia , my home province. :grin:

Oh yeah,I really like my Boston Bruins Skybox (Beverage dispensing machine).

You definetly have me beat when it comes to memorabilia with the Bruins. The top two things I have are a Sergei Samsonov "Golden Bear/Yellow" jersey from the 75th anniversary of the team, and a Ray Bourque Colorado Avalanche jersey (Minus the A).

I can't wait for hockey to start up again this fall. \:D/

This is still pretty funny to read through - especially for baseball fans.
