2013 ALCS: Detroit Tigers vs. Boston Red Sox

worst postseason not resulting in a Yankee championship ever

did u forget the phillies winning

worst postseason not resulting in a Yankee championship ever

Surprised you didn't pick '06.

yeah i have no interest in watching the WS, first time i've ever said that

u guys shd watch the world series maybe they will be good baseball games u like baseball right

i don't like watching my two least favorite teams in each respective league playing baseball, no, why would i?

jesus that's 3 hours out of at least four days of my life

actually 4 hours bc BOS is playing

Come on, you guys survived Yanks vs Phillies, you'll get through this.

Is Flag Post the same as Suggest Ban? This dude's whining is pretty tedious.

i'm fucking livid that this game got pushed back to 8pm. living in england, this would have been the last game i got to see in real-time, and a potential decider; i sat down on the couch, cracked open a cold one and stared slack-jawed at my entertainment devices, which all reported that the 4:30 start time i'd anticipated, and planned my evening around, was apparently just an invention of my imagination

4:30 was the original start time, yeah. I didn't discover the change until 4:00.

yah thats dumb, sux 4 tracer especially

weekend afternoon games are so nice too

cause maybe you like the game of baseball not just baseball teams idk

#lifehack only truly loathe one team (recommend yankees) then if they make the ws you can at least root against them and its still fun

diamondbacks v yankees was def one of the series i liked best

otm

cosine, total heel bout

[i]Come on, you guys survived Yanks vs Phillies

Watched Game 1, said 'I can't do this,' stopped.

did u forget the phillies winning

Tampa Bay won the pennant, so that was a salve. (I had to look that up, so yes I have sort of forgotten.) Also rain-delay hilarity to make Selig look like an ass.

There'll be lotsa good ballgames on my computer in April, with no freezing.

(actually I think I skipped all of Yanks-Phils, it was 1999 NYY-ATL where I watched one game.)

obv no team's fans/"culture" are currently as awful as Boston's, but root for Cardinal "values" etc no thank you.

no way boston has the best fan culture: beards, getting trashed and yelling shit in a boston accent

whats not to love

can't believe i've been hanging out with so many phils haters, ugh

i know! its like when people say they hate philadelphia sports fans *glances over reading glasses* these people booed santa claus and kobe bryant, they are nothing short of heroic

the only truly loathsome fan culture is the yankees cause thats just all stockbrokers from indiana talking about monument park

Yankee fans go off the grid when they don't win

Nate Silver ‏@fivethirtyeight 11h
My mom just said that the Red Sox look like Andrew Sullivan.

lmao

easy ferry access to provincetown via Boston harbor

sux bear week is right in the middle of the season, fake an injury maybe

i am the same as morbs, i can't watch a sports game without a rooting interest, even if i'm just choosing one at random because i don't care about either team. if the result of the game is gonna piss me off either way why would i waste my time, enough things piss me off already, *pursue a beautiful life*

also i've never had anything against the phillies, they were my dad's team growing up and their fans at least own up to being assholes. and 2001 was a great WS! it ended in jeter crying.

and i usually don't have a problem with the WS bc the cards are the only NL team i really don't like. wld have no problem rooting for any other NL team vs BOS or NYY.

i do like beltran and i love koji, maybe i'll watch some games for them

Rooting for the Red Sox

yeah i like baseball so there's have to be better reasons than "both teams are gross" to not watch the world series. seems like a weird position. i mean, a couple years ago i would have dreaded a lakers/celtics finals, but i still would have watched it

my concerns re sporting events where my fav team isnt playing

1. competitiveness
2. quality of play
3. style of play
10. is teams i dont like in it (does not apply to yankees or lakers who i root hard against which is fun and cool)

can usually find someone to root for even if im not into either team tho

i know there are tons sports fans who feel different, so many super hardcore sox fans wont even watch the playoff if theyre not in it, which always seemed weird to me but hey free country

i mean, i apologize for being annoying, i have nothing against any of u for liking teams i hate

i know someone who is a snotty diehard sports fan who just hates every single team, player or "story" that comes out of espn, the only team i know he roots for is the bills, which means he also hates his own team, and it's tiresome and i just want to tell him "maybe you should just stop watching sports for a while"

i do like beltran and i love koji, maybe i'll watch some games for them

This is how I invent my rooting interest when all else fails, I root for whichever team has the most players I like.

lol oh man that is so sad

i would probably never not watch the finals or world series, football i think is a dumb sport but i watch occasionally just because everyone else does, i'd totally skip out on the super bowl if i didn't care about either team but there are always fun parties and food associated with that

the superbowl is our greatest and most important american tradition you nasty bolshevik

tigers: fourth-worst baserunning team of the last 50 years

the very worst team did okay tho

that double play where fielder belly flopped five feet short of third base was so funny and sad what was he doing

he was trying to induce obstruction from bogaerts tbf

by diving on the ground in front of him lol

LOOK AT ME I'M A PLANE

AND THE PLANE BECOMES A METAPHOR FOR MY LIFE

The Ortizes and the Victorinos wear you down:
