Okay, so, during the World Series, when they cut to a commercial, and come back from a commercial they play a song. It’s just instrumental, but it sounds sorta patriotic. It’s cool, though. Does anyone know what it’s called?

Well you know some teams have not won a World Series. It kinda sad. Which team do you want to see win that have never won?
I would love to see the mariners because they have so many good players. I do not think the rays with ever win because of New York and Bosten.

World series of poker 2008 is going to be a fun and exciting time with TONS of money at stake and a chance to win millions and millions of dollars. To play in the world series of poker (aka espn world series of poker) you can buy in directly for $10,000 or win a satellite ticket to this main event for as little as 2 dollars! If you go to full tilt poker or poker stars you can see mini step events that lead to the main event. You start on step one and the top 2 finishers move on to the next step, while 3rd place wins you another ticket into the same step. There are a total of 7 steps. Towards the higher steps 5, 6, 7, if you finish after 3rd place you still win seats to steps below the one you were at. The only way to really lose when playing steps is to finish above 5th place in the later rounds. It is fun and exciting and won of the best ways to win world series of poker chips that are good for the main event. For 2 dollars you can have a 10k+ world series of poker ticket. Not only do you win a ticket to the main event, you get 2500 bucks in travel expenses which will pay for your plane ticket and hotel! Each step puts you closer to the world series of poker circuit event. You can check out the world series of poker homepage for the latest results that are updated up to the second.

Last year I won a ticket into the main event. I had never been so happy in my entire life. I thought it I was going to have a good chance to win it this year, but unfortunately something came up and I was forced to sell my ticket. I got $11,200 for my ticket and travel. Instead of the full $12,500 value I received only 1300 bucks less for selling it. Which means, even if you’re not planning on attending the world series of poker, if you win a ticket you can always sell it for a huge chunk of change. There is nothing like a world series of poker satellite and it is honestly the only way to go because of how simple it is to win a seat. If you can play, you can be the next world series of poker winner! You need to really take your time in winning these satellite ticket events. You can become the next WSOP winner and always be famous. You will receive millions and millions of dollars in endorsements and become a world renown poker player. People will go to google and type in world series of poker past winners and see your name. Playing in this main event is just like winning 600+ single table sit n go’s at one time. That’s how you need to look at it. When playing, you need to take it one table at a time, win that table, and move on! I wish you the best of luck!

Just like clockwork, every spring brings the same hopes to major league baseball teams all over the country. Some fans of teams like the Pittsburgh Pirates, Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers are just hoping to stay in the pennant race after the first few weeks of the season, while other fans have higher aspirations.

Take the rabid fans of Boston Red Sox nation or the equally intense fanatics who root for the New York Yankees. Not only do these fans demand that their teams be in the playoffs or World Series every season, they also demand that the two clubs beat each other.

Boston and New York are separated by about four hours in a car, but their baseball fans and ideas are separated by much more space than almost anyone can imagine.

The best word, although not too politically correct, is “hate.” It is not a stretch of any imagination to say that the fans of these clubs **** each other. Every year, fights break out in the stands or in sports bars across America, and they are all involving Yankee or Red Sox fans. Ever seen or heard about a Cardinals and Braves fan fight?

Both Boston and New York have fans who are living in various cities away from their hometown, and this has spread the rivalry across many time zones. Trust me from first-hand experience, you can find New Englanders and New Yorkers almost anywhere in the USA.

The rivalry and bad blood runs fairly deep for me, and I would not be able to write with such certainty on the topic had I not been so directly involved through many years.

Being born and raised in New York, you have a choice between teams. Once you select the Yankees (in my case, passed down by dear ol’ Dad), the next step is to immediately work up a hatred for Red Sox fans, Red Sox management, New England Clam Chowder and even anybody foolish enough to be wearing actual red socks.

The Yankees are a 4-to-1 Favorite @ WagerWeb.com to win the World Series

If you’re a Yankees fan, that is your first given in life - **** thy Red Sox fan. With their annoying accents, general lack of knowledge toward the game, their laughable track record of winning over the years and barrelful of excuses for losing, it is fairly easy to work up a good lather against them.

Another year is upon us, and 2006 will see these two teams meeting 19 times. The first pair of these games takes place on May 1-2 in Beantown. If you’re a baseball fan and you’re not watching these games, you either better be getting married or mourning a death in the family. If you’re a Yankee or Red Sox fan, there is no excuse not to be watching—just keep the volume low on your mini TV and nobody at the funeral should get too upset.

But emotions and people getting upset are actually the hallmark of this rivalry. It’s easy to go back and cite all the times on the field that these two teams have mixed it up, which in turn usually carries over to the stands or the bars.

More recently, we had Alex Rodriquez taking on Jason Veritek, and Don Zimmer battling it out with Pedro Martinez. Granted, the names and faces change, but the intensity between the two teams and their fans is legendary.

I can personally attest to one infamous episode during Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship series. It was the game where New York recovered from a 5-3 deficit to defeat Boston with a home-run from Aaron Boone that sent the Yankees to the World Series.

Drinking a beer amidst hoards of Red Sox fans at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, I was resigned to watching the Sox advance to the World Series. Soon, the Yankees mounted their comeback, and my bravado had started taking the best of me. Although very conservative in my early remarks, I saved the best for last: When Boone’s shot landed in upper reaches of Yankee Stadium, my outburst lasted for several minutes—which most likely felt like hours for Red Sox fans.

Now this incident took place before Boston finally won a World Series title, so Red Sox fans were more surly than usual.

With my yelling ringing in their ears and their sorrow turning to desperation, two New England tourists started hurling insults my way, and we exchanged profane remarks for several minutes before your classic dimwitted Red Sox fan charged at me, telling me to keep quiet.

Now, telling a Yankee fan to keep quiet is like telling Pam Anderson not to show any cleavage, so it quickly turned ugly. In the end, Red Sox fan lost the fight but had some red blood to show for it on his nose, and his wife was also the recipient of some collateral damage.

If you’re curious, all charges were dropped.

I would expect nothing else from the loyal, overzealous fans of either team. In the end, being a Yankee or Red Sox fan is like defending your country. If attacked and provoked—or just not a fan of a particular nation—let them know you’re serious and that they best not challenge you again.

Winning a World Series title hasn’t made Red Sox fans any smarter or relevant, it just gave them a one-year sense that everything was fine—but pinstripes will always be the real color of choice.

Rick Grantham asked:


The Giants have their championship titles to be proud of. They won the World Series five times. They also have 20 National League titles. Finally, they have won the NL West Division six times.

They were one of the major league baseball teams that John B. Day and Jim Mutrie formed. The team goes by the name, the Gothams at first. It is a team under the National League. Day and Mutrie had another baseball team but in a different league. They also owned the Metropolitans, which is a team in the American Association.

The two started bringing their star players from the Metropolitans to the Gothams. This strategy brought the Gothams to win their first NL title in 1888. They did it again in 1889, only this time, they also manage to win the early version of the World Series.

Rumor has it that the team name changed to the Giants after Mutrie exclaimed the word in excitement as a compliment to his team who has beaten the Philadelphia Phillies. The Giants played in the Polo Grounds until 1957 when it moved to California and became the San Francisco Giants.

The Player’s League took a toll on the Giants. Most of it players joined the league. After that, Day had to sell controlling shares of the team to the Edward Talcott. Talcott then sold the team to Andrew Freedman. Freedman did not have a lot of fans. He had some misunderstandings with other owners and players. His best decision was to bring John McGraw on board. After a while, Freedman needed to sell the team to John T. Bush.

McGraw managed the team for thirty years. During his tenure, he led the team ten NL pennants and three World Series titles. He also made news when he refused to play the World Series in 1904 against the Boston Red Sox. According to some, McGraw did not feel like competing for it because he did not think much of the American League. This led to the formalization of the World Series in 1905, this time; the Giants played and won their first World Series title.

After that, the team went through some tough times. It would take a while before they could win the World Series. The win they long for came in 1921 and 1922. They defeated the Yankees in both instances. After that, the Yankees defeated them in 1923, while the Washington Senators defeated them in 1924.

In 1932, Bill Terry took over the management of the team. Terry led his team to three NL pennants. They also won the World Series in 1933. However, they failed to take it home in 1936 and 1937 after facing the New York Yankees.

Aside from the World Series, a notable victory of the Giants took place in 1951 when they defeated their primary rival team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. Bobby Thomson made the shot heard around the world and gave the Giants a win over the Dodgers.

Their next World Series title came in 1954. It was their last as the New York Giants and their attempts as the San Francisco Giants were unsuccessful.
