Props to Krazy Kris for finding this - while I'm still forming my thoughts on what the Yankee World Series victory means to me, Bill Burr pretty much hits it out of the park when discussing the sad state that baseball is lowering itself into, throwing both the Yankees and Red Sox deservedly underneath the bus. His focus on Eric Gagne is a little weak, but still, pretty damn funny.
*Disclaimer* If Four-Letter words offend you steer clear.
All I'm saying is you Yankee fans are WAY more sensitive than you used to be - so fricken' what if a comedian is making light of you winning it all, you still won it all right? Relax and enjoy it - after-all, the Curse of the A-Rod has been lifted like a dark veil.
While I do agree that it IS a typical biased comedy routine by a Sox fan... (I'm waiting for Dennis Leary's take.. that should be entertaining) This was very funny. The only reason some of us Yankee fans are more sensitive is that we honestly dont know how to react. First we get brutally made fun of for not winning, then we get nailed for winning. it's like lose - lose. So all we can do is react. That being said... at LEAST he agrees with what I've been saying for years, that the Sox followed us off the cliff. Because thats very true. It always gets me when a Sox fan makes fun of our payroll, as if yours is 70million. Royals or Pirates fans can get away with that one, but not Sox fans anyway. But before I read Faiaz's comment... I was just gonna say funny! I've already forgoten about 27 and have my eyes fixed on April. Quest for Dos Ocho!
You have a great sports blog here. This is my first time visiting but I'm liking it! I have two sports blogs myself. We need to stick together. I'd like us to exchange links to help spread some traffic around to each other.
Photos of Game 1 of the 2007 World Series. My girlfriend Jeannine and I took my Dad and didn't tell him until we were basically at the Gate. One of the best nights of my life hands down.
On the way home from a good friends wedding Jeannine and I decided to stop off at the Hall of Fame (which never gets old for me), however with limited time we decided to make it a tour of only things Red Sox. Enjoy!
This was the first time I've been to a game with my Dad since the early 90's and it was just awesome, especially with everything that happened with my Mom a few weeks ago. I know she was watching the game with us and had to have been happy to see us happy.
Marathon Monday (Patriots Day) is a great tradition in Boston. The Sox always start early in the a.m. and the marathon is on it's final stage right outside of Kenmore as the game lets out. This is a photo tour of our experiance, enjoy!
This past Mothers Day I was visiting Chicago and attended a Cubs/Phillies game. This was my first time at Wrigley Field and I was embraced by my NL cousins. Chris & I represented the Red Sox and I was congratulated on the 2004 season by numerous Cubbie fans. Here you'll find 11 pics from the game.
Boston.com and Boston Dirt Dogs had a playoff push party at Game On! in Fenway Park on September 19. The game didn't go so well as the Sox lost, however, a lot of people had a good time hanging out while getting to "meet" the trophy!
My brother Chris flew into Boston from Chicago to help me root on and pull for the Sox in the Series. We went right from Logan Airport to the Park and ended up watching the game across the street from Fenway at Bills Bar on Landsdown Street. We looked into scalping tickets but standing room only were going for $1,200 and up!This was a great and memorable day to be able to be with my brother in Boston to see the Red Sox in the World Series. This is a snap shot of two weeks of my life that provided a lot of sorrow, joy, sleep deprivation, and hangovers. Two of the best weeks of my life...
Peeing your pants FUNNY!

@Faiaz - you do realize he was making fun of the Sox & Yanks right? Sensitive...

Oh please, Burr's a Sox fan. I'm sure IF the Sox won the World Series this year he would not joke about them like he did about the Yankees.

I'm not sensitive, just pointing out a typical biased comedy routine from a comedian who's a Redsox fan.
