| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | Ok, i know its a WFAN idea, but i found it pretty cool. Im a loyal O&A listener, but i also am a loyal sports guy too, especially on weekends because at work, the FAN is the only station i can get on my radio. Anyway, Chris, Mad Dogg, Russo started a gathering of people called the Crack Committee. The purpose of this group is just to root against the yankees and hope that they go out of the playoffs as soon, and as quietly, as possible. People included in this group are Sid Rosemburg, formerly of the Sports Guys, many other WFAN hosts, and any general Mets fans, Giants fans, and others who just hate the "Yanktropolitans" with a passion. They also are rooting for the Oakland A's to win the whole thing. So, i was just wondering how many people on this board would join the group, or a similar group, just so they could see the yankees out of the playoffs. As a diehard Mets fan, I would join this group in a second. Just wondering how many anti-Yankee fans are out there. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Ideal situation for me: Yankees out in 4 in first round, with Clemens losing Game 1 and Game 4 Braves out in 3 in first round World Series being the A's and the Diamondbacks, with the A's winning in 6. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Aug. 01 | you can count me in i want to see the mariners and a's battle it out cause it seems like the winner of that would win the whole thing. no one in the nl seems to overly powerful, except that the dbacks have the big 2 and that always helps Graduate of AFDude's Academy | ||||

I don't actually hate the Yankees, but I hate those band wagoneers who don't know anything that happened in baseball before 1996, and don't know the meaning of the word "gracious". I had to endure being at Shea for 2000 game 5; There was an asshole Yankee fan right behind me who was spouting all sorts of crap. I'd love to see what these brainiacs say when A's spank them.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I do not wish to join your "Crack Committee". I hope to see the Yanks and the D'backs in the series. Has anyone noticed that once a team gets rid of Buck Showalter as manager that have a great season? | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: Well i will disagree cause the accounts of most sports writers is that they are not a good clubhouse. One writer said that the biggest difference between the yanks and mets are that the yanks are a team as a whole. They work out together, eat together and have a close bond with eachother. The mets locker room is full of people a bit too round in the middle, not only do they not work out together they barely use the weight room. They are not in sync with one anonther that is one of their biggest problems.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | quote: The mets have a bad clubhouse?? Thats the first ive heard of that. Before i say anything...EVERY team, no matter how bad the chemistry is, eats together and is in the clubhouse together. Now as far as the yanks and the mets are concerned, the Yankeesact like a bunch of elitists. They are almost never available for interviews, and they dont say anything unless they are being accused of stuff. They have an identity of the higher class, since they are the champs, they think that they are above everyone. The Mets, on the other hand, allow all of their players to do interviews, they help out more around the community (even before Sept. 11), and they emphasize a lot on team chemistry. If you wanna play for the Mets, you gotta have heart and desire (besides Benitez). So that is the difference there. The Mets show lots of emotion, and so do our fans. The Yanks act like everything is meant to happen, and so do their fans. By the way, A's IN FOUR!! Time for the Yankees and their "dynasty" to come to an end.

| TeenWeek what's a status? | posted on 10-08-2001 @ 7:54 PM | | |||
| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | I know all of you guys are Mets fans in here, but because of the tragedy, don't you want to see a New York team win the World Series. Than have a canyon of heroes parade with the yankees, the firemen and the nypd. Don't you want to see teh city alive again after this tragedy and see some smiles on people's faces again especially all of the rescue workers who love the yankees. I hate the mets but I was rooting for them to make the playoffs. I wanted a Subway Series and teh Yankees to spank them, but the point is I wanted the Mets in there for the good of New York.  | ||||

In terms of sports, i dont think we need the Yankees to win just to have the city get back toether. Having the yankees win isnt going to bring anyone back. Sure, for all the yankee fans, it will feel extra special if they won this year. But, for everyone else, including me, if they win, at the end im gonna yell the word Fuck out loud. They arent my team, and i dont care about them. Do i care about New York's well being? Of course Do i care about the yankees and their winning ways? NO!! Do i think that the yankees winning the world series will help? Maybe for some people, but not Mets fans, and not anyone else in America for that matter. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Well said Cluster. If a Championship is needed to put smiles on New Yorkers faces. Then how about The Rangers, Jets or Knicks winning a Championship. The Yankees have won 4 of the last 5, and the site of them winning it every year has grown quite sickening.  | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Gonzo, probably different interpretations of clubhouse". Piazza, Zeile, Leiter & Ventura are all supposed to be "good guys". It didn't surprise many that they wanted to be public and make donations, etc. Even Fatso Francessa, self-professed Yankee fan, said Mets are most enjoyable to be around. Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me if Yankees are "tighter", and "hungrier", even though they've won. Part of that would be the nucleus of Jeter, Williams and others having "grown up" together. Now this post is too much pro-Yankee.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Thank you Francine. By the way, nice sig pic, however i liked the previous one of Francine a little more. quote: Couldnt agree with you more FB. By the way...NO MORE POSITIVE YANKEE TALK IN THIS THREAD! It makes me, and every other person here sick. thank you :) | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Ohh please save me the mets bullshit story of how they did so much during the tragedy. Bobby Valentine is a dick for turning into a competition. Bobby V had the gaul to say that the mets did more to help the city during the tragedy cause they donated more and spent more time doing stuff. When the fuck did this turn into a fuckin competition? No one mentioned how bernie refused to do an interview when he went to visit the firemen because he wanted to spend time with them and not do interviews, yet the mets didnt miss a chance to do good PR interviews.

Fuck you and fuck your disclaimer, last time I checked this board was on a free forum and people can express their opinion if it had something to do with what was being discussed. Next time try being a bit more tactful in your statements.

But, i asked, and politely enough, for people to stop the positive yankee talk in particular because someone in the thread wanted the talk to stop. By the way, this isnt the FU-Board, but ur a mod and u know that right? Oh well, i guess Gonzo will be even more pissed when the Yanks end up losing quietly in 4 to the A's, and (ex-met) Izzy closes game 4 out with the save.

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: Hey dude do you really think I care if they lose or win? How does my life change? I will be glad if they win and if they do not oh well can't win every year. You totally missed my point, what i did not appreciate was your arrogance in your statement telling me what to post and where to post it. Yes I am a mod and I have been a bit longer than you and do not pull that mod elitist bullshit on me cause I stood up for you on several occasions so do not make look out to look like some tyranical piece of shit. if you have a bug up your ass go fix it. You are in no fuckin place to bark at me to stick to another thread and end it off like I was some fuckin child.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | Ok gonzo, this has gotten way out of hand. I just meant the staement as a general thing...not towards any mods or any regular members, but toward everyone. I just know that in the yankee thread, there is no defiling, so i figured that i would make that statement here as well. It just sucked that the first reply after i made that request was a positive yankee reply and a negative mets one. That kinda chapped my ass, and i didnt take into account that u are a mod at the time. Making u look like a child as u put it was not part of the plan when i responded. Anyway, i'll apologize to u for the resulting argument and get this thread back to the original topic of rooting against the yankees in the playoffs :) | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | quote: well i have never read nor posted in that thread but that thread is also not special. Defiling is when you come in and go way off the entire topic with the point being to fuck up the whole thread. But hey most threads here go off track by the 15th post and I was just retorting to a statement posted here. I understand what you are saying I was in no way trying to make this a pro-yankee thread, just replying to a statement. Hell I know that a team can not win every year and I personally know that this year is not the Yanks year. I am personally pciking Seattle but I wouldn't mind seeing Oakland win they deserve it as well. I will also apologize for any misunderstanding and please proceed in rooting for the yanks to lose, lol.

| Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | I've never been a Yankee hater- my family is all Yanks fans, and I even rooted for them when I was young and didn't know any better. I rooted for them in the playoffs 95-98, and also 99 & 00 to have that Subway Series. But this year, no more! After last year's debacle, you can count me in to root against the Yanks! Where's my Giambi jersey? WookiePoolParty: Now even more new and improved!!  This is a great country we live in. | ||||
