It's official (Yanks/Sox related)

I need a map? I never said "The Northeast" I said "New England" Sorry, man, there are only six states that comprise New England. ME, NH, VT, MA, RI and CT. I know NY likes to think its a part of everything due to the mass that is NYC, but this club is more exclusive than that. :lol:

And in terms of regions, here's the Mid-Atlantic:

http://geology.er.usgs.gov/states/mid_atl.html

So...neener, neener, neener!!!

NY part of New England? No thanks, but it's certainly not part of the mid-Atlantic, regardless of what that map says. Are they using that map to teach school kids? I hope not.

NY is in the Northeast.

Its from the USGS. I know, seems weird, but the USGS doesn't consider NY as being in the Northeast. Eh...whatever...

Who in their prime would you have rather have, Johnny or Fred Lynn. To nme it'as no brainer, some how we managed not to fall apart when Freddy left.

Ditto.

The World Series Champs being swept in the first round of the following years playoffs is just damn ugly. Not to mention they almost didn't make it to the playoffs.

Agreed. WS hangover. :wink:

Swept in play-offs, sure I can't imagine George felt any better losing in the first round to Anaheim. Without injuries I'd have to say White Sox & Toronto have best pitching.

Chicago Model, very good pitching, very good, fast outfield, good infield, line-up with some pop but only one slugger. Beckett probably only guy on either team who is under 35 who could compare with who White Sox have. RJ & Schilling are older, still great but fatigue injuries more probable, either team has fleet outfielders, Johnny is fastest but several in AL faster.

Manny has less ground to cover & plays wall as good as anyone, guys hit the ball over his head & figure he is playing like Manny but he'll end up in the right spot & throw a strike to 2nd. Left to right he is suspect (he did have a web gem or two last year) & coming in but balls at home over his head are singles for many hitters, those who play in big parks who figure it's an easy double are gunned down. If he is gone, they will have to replace him with speed IMO.

If sox have to lose money to get Tejeda as latest rumor suggest + Clement & Manny, do so, he is in the op 10 easy for best sluggers in the AL. (no order - Manny, Ortiz, A-Rod, Sheff, Matsui, Tejeda, Vlad +????)

NY State in Mid -Atlantic, outside of LI, it has how much coast? More or less coastline on Great Lakes or Atlantic? Buffalo, Syracuse, Watertown, Lake Placid & Plattsburgh, Mid-Atlantic? For NY to be Mid-Atlantic that map would have to be printed & made for NYC residents only. You know, the people who think White Plains & Westshester is upstate.

SO Mrs. D. has to keep Johnny out of Scores so he can't compare the current dancers to ex-dancers... :idea:

 

[ChileMass]

Uhhhhhhh...I don't think Johnny married her all because of her face. She's well endowed regarding other areas of her anatomy.

I don't think he did either.
Nobody marries ex-strippers because of their faces.

Mrs. Johnny D is an ex-stripper? True?

I ALWAYS find this to be most amusing. I think they're stuck in the age of the Dick Van Dyke show when New Rochelle was considered the northern suburbs.

People think Buffalo is upstate. From Albany, Kennebunk Port, ME is closer.

Buffalo doesn't really work as an UPstate choice anyway...it's more ACROSSstate.

I was born in Glens Falls, went to college in Albany, so I can speak from 1st-hand knowledge:

Buffalo and Rochester are western New York
Syracuse, Utica and Binghamton are central NY
Plattsburgh and Potsdam are northern NY
There is no part of the state that is really called eastern NY, although Catskill to Lake George should be
Anything south of Poughkeepsie is downstate
and anything north qualifies as upstate.


So let it be written, so let it be done..... :dunce:

So maybe someone can work on Vermont. Why is Rutland considered Central Vermont? Vermont is so small, it's a region all by itself, with the exception (TB and Riverc0il) of the Northeast Kingdom of course.

Thanks. I think we're all familiar with those geographic locations, but it's not the locals who do things like call Buffalo "upstate". It's people from New York City and thereabouts that do such things. To them, there's upstate Albany; Buffalo is a mile to the west and Canada is a mile to the North.
For them, a trip to Hunter is like a trip to the Himalayas.
