He was booed loudly. It was hilarious. Worst fans in baseball.

Worst fans in baseball? :roll:
Any player from any team deserves to be booed when you blow 4 straight save opportunities, let alone when it's done against your arch nemesis; and your salary is over $10 million/year.

Yup. Worst fans in baseball. Just like Torre said - given all that that guy has done for the Yankees, he doesn't deserve to be booed after a rough stretch.

Too f'in funny!
So, is Torre reputable or not? Make up your mind dude. :roll:

Your earlier comment above:

After walking Doug Mirabelli, Rivera was lifted -- a rare sight. He walked off the mound to a healthy dose of boos, but he thought those must have come from Red Sox fans.

"I think it's inexcusable if the boos were from Yankee fans because they wouldn't be crawling all over themselves to get into this ballpark if it weren't for him," New York manager Joe Torre said.

Pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre had a similar reaction.

"I was very surprised by that. Everything he's done here and in this ballpark, I was shocked. But that's New York," Stottlemyre said.

So you don't think there were any boos, and Head Up His Ass Rivera thinks they came from Sox fans (yeah, I'm sure Sox fans would boo the guy that's blown four straight games against them - they'd give him a standing ovation).

Stottlemyre is the only honest guy of the bunch.

He won them 4 world series. He should get a free pass for a while.

Booing him may motivate him to pitch better. When you're earning +$10 million, you should be expected to play accordingly.
You mean to tell me if this scenario was about the Sox you'd clap and cheer for the player? Doubt it.

I know you guys say a lot of this bs aiming it at one specific poster on here (which he deserves more times than not), but you take your biased hatred for the Yanks a little too far sometimes.

Here we go again. Tommygunn's bored. Does DC send you a nickle everytime you fight his battles?

Stottlemyre was the only guy who called it as it was: But that's New York. I gave him credit for making that honest statement.

Torre expressed disappointment, and I agree with his opinion that in no way should Yankee fans should be booing him. What does that have to do with honesty? Oh right, nothing.

Would this make you feel better? How about I revise my quote to: "Rivera has hid head up his ass if he thinks it was Sox fans booing. Stottlemyre called it correctly. And I agree with Torre." :roll:

And here's an idea: if you don't like the Yankee bashing, don't read the posts.

Have a great day!

Well.........Foulke blew a save on tuesday and I didnt harbor any ill feelings toward him. I wouldnt have booed him because of what he did for the Sox last year....all year long and especially in the playoffs. They should have booed AROD, 25 million dollars-you gotta make that play.

anyway, he's just lucky he's not a Montreal Canadien, he woulda got it worse :lol:

Thanks for clarifying your contradictory comments by backtracking and revising your thoughts! If you're goin' to be obdurate in your hatred for the Yanks it's a good idea to remain consistent when doing so. Saves you from being called on it time and time again and appearing callow. :thumb:

That's precisely why Rivera got booed.. for what he didn't do in the playoffs last year, more specifically the last 2 blown save attempts, combined with blowing the first 2 save attempts this year (against the very same team and sworn enemy)! Hard to compare that to 1 blown save by Foulke.

what im saying is that i will give a reprieve based on one WS Ring won. Rivera has 4. He should be given the keys to the city.

Take it however you like. But anytime I can clarify my posts to help you understand the intent of my messages, thereby helping you to sleep better at night I'm happy to help out. :thumb:

But, speaking of callowness, I have to ask, if you are so tired of the Yankee bashing, why do you keep coming back to the thread that you know is full of nothing but Yankee bashing? :?

Callowness indeed! Where do I say I'm "so tired of the Yankee bashing"?? Oh that's right, I don't. To refresh your memory, what I said was "you take your biased hatred for the Yanks a little too far sometimes." Which you do.

With regards to the clarifying, you really should re-read your posts before you hit submit. That way what you actually post on here and what you had intended to say might be the same! :thumb:

My apologies tommygunn. I wasn't aware that when posting at forums such as these one should treat it like they are in the middle of a competition with the local debate club with the winner getting an all expenses paid trip to Florida. But with you stalking me again I'll be sure to re-read everything I write for fear that one of my posts might actually matter in the grand scheme of things. :thumb:

I love this: "I'm tired of the Yankee bashing" is vastly different from "you take your biased hatred for the Yanks a little too far sometimes." :roll: Comical. OK, how's this: if you think the bashing goes a little too far sometimes, why do you keep coming back?

I mean clearly we are very different (thankfully), but if there was a thread bashing Mats Sundin and I thought it was going a little too far, I think I'd just avoid the thread rather than checking it out, posting, checking it out, posting, checking it out, posting. But I should know by now that you've got some sort of obsession with my posts. :thumb:

Sundin sucks, he mails it in half the time he's out there !
