[lapucelle]

[asiliveandbreathe]

1. OOOOhhhh..BOOOOO..Red Sox fan heah!!!! Why did it have to be the yankees...BOOOOOO n/t

[lapucelle]

4. They're still the world champs...

... for the time being.

[GP6971]

2. Watched both games

The ESPN's broadcast was better than Fox.

[Ohiogal]

3. Watched most of it.

[lapucelle]

5. I can't wait to hear Joe Scarborough whining tomorrow morning.

[pressbox69]

23. LOL,LOL!

[ADX]

6. The greatest team in the history of professional sports...

...THE NEW YORK YANKEES!!!

[lapucelle]

7. ...

[demosincebirth]

15. It's a well known fact that money will buy you anything, The rest of baseball is their farm system

[ADX]

17. *YAWN*

...The Red Sox lead the League in payroll for 2019.

Haters are always gonna hate...

[demosincebirth]

18. Why, maybe you should know?

I'll call your yawn and raise you two

[ADX]

22. I'll tell you what I know...

...I know that the Red Sux are 11 full games behind the mighty Bronx Bombers and I also know that they've only managed to rack up 1/3 the number of World Series wins that the Yankees have.

That's what I know.

[lapucelle]

28. ...

[tymorial]

27. Oh ffs.

[awesomerwb1]

29. Curious. Based on what?

[ADX]

30. Based on their domination of the Major League over the past 100+ years...

...since 1923, the Yankees have won the World Series 27 times; the team with the second-most WS wins is the Cardinals, with 11.

No other team in any sport has been more dominant over a longer period of time than the New York Yankees...

[awesomerwb1]

31. Wrong. I'll just give you an example. One.

Real Madrid are the second or third most valuable sports franchise in the world. (soccer team from Spain).

They have won 33 league championships and 13 European Club championships (the biggest team/club championship in the world - kind of like if baseball got together the best baseball teams from all over the world and made it a championship).

So, no, the Yankees are not the most dominant sports team in the world.

[ADX]

32. Madrid has won 13 EC championships...

...but Milan has won 7, more than half Madrid's number. Milan has won 33 League championships but are closely followed by Barcelona with 26.

The Yankees have won more Championships than the next highest team by a factor of 2.5 so there's that...

[awesomerwb1]

33. Don't move the goal posts

Real Madrid has won more championships than any sports team in the world. Just admit you were wrong and move on.

"A factor of 2.5"...come on.

[ADX]

34. You're the one moving the goal posts...

...or you need to brush up on your reading comprehension. I never said that the Yankees have won more championships than any sports team in the world, I said "No other team in any sport has been more dominant over a longer period of time than the New York Yankees" and I stand by that assertion.

In order to refute that, you'll have to show me a team that has won more than two and half times the number of championships as any other team in their league over the same length of time.

I'll wait...or you can just admit that you were wrong...

[awesomerwb1]

35. Ok bud.

You either win a championship, or you don't. Now it's about a ratio you pulled out of your....

Ok, so let's go with that ridiculous ratio you had to come up with....This took me 5 minutes to find.

In the Finnish soccer league HJK has won 29 championships. The runner up is FC Haka with 9. The ratio there is higher than 3.

You were wrong. Now let's move on and don't try to come up with another ridiculous ratio non-sense.

[ADX]

36. I'm not your bud...

...but that aside, you're right: HJK of the Finnish Soccer League is the greatest, most dominant team in the history of sports...

...said no one, ever...


Happy now?

[awesomerwb1]

37. Actually you just said it...bud

See ya bud.

[ADX]

38. It never fails...

...Trolls gonna troll so off to the ignore list you go, sport...

8. Baseball fan here. I watched most of each game. I thought it was great!

I’m a lifetime Atlanta Braves fan, so I just enjoyed the games but didn’t back either team.

London is an awesome city. The weather was good and it seemed like fun was had by all.

I loved the historic character races.

[lapucelle]

9. I mistook William Shakespeare for Hrnry VIII

[CottonBear]

14. Henry VIII, Loch Ness Monster, Winston Churchill & Freddy Mercury

10. Did you see

the take-off on the Beatles’ Abbey Road album cover? Pretty cool!

[lapucelle]

12. My husband just showed me.

[CottonBear]

13. I saw a quick image on the ESPN broadcast.

Apparently, the player’s families all came along for the trip. What fun!

[edbermac]

11. Sox bullpen sucks.

Dombrowski better get his head out of his ass and start making some deals.

[NightWatcher]

19. I'm in London and couldn't find it on the tele in our Airbnb.

Saw a ton of baseball caps around Buckingham Palace today. 60/40 Yankees to Sox fans.

[lapucelle]

20. Were you prepared for the heat? Is it that bad?

24. I loved it but

I'm a life long Yankee fan. Yankee fans will always have The Babe, Lou Gehrig, Joltin' Joe, Mickey and Reggie. Sox fans will always have The Splendid Splinter, Yaz, Big Poppy, Bill Buckner and No No Nanette.

[lapucelle]

25. And Donnie Baseball...

[underpants]

26. I watched the game last night.

I hate the Evil Empire.

[zanana1]
