Yankees Win!


The New York Yankees scored more runs during the ALCS, so according to liberal logic, they are the World Series Champions. THey outscored the Red Socks 45-41 in the series. Get your Yankees World Champions Shirts here (http://www.heritage.org/Press/Commentary/ed102804a.cfm).

I don't get it......

Then again i don't feel like thinking what it's supposed to mean, but can you in a nutshell, tell me what you mean by that? X_X :mp5:

Red Sox won and the Yankees stayed in New York and cried. The baseball gods decreed it so and so it was. The New York era is over and the Boston one has begun. Let' all get used to it!
Go Red Sox!!!

*yawns*

Shouldn't the oversized text read, 'Yankees continue to dominate World, same-old, same-old'?

Poot.

I will simplify it for you.

Liberals suck and are stupid.

But look at whom munkie is quoting.

Ed "There are no poor in America; only people looking for a free lunch" Meese

See, in the end, the Yankees outscored the Red Socks, therefore, according to Gore Logic, they won.

Yes because in a democracy, the team (person) with more points (votes) should always win......you idiot!

Munke's saying that even though the rules have been in place for a hundred years, and everyone knew about them, that they should suddenly be changed in this World Series because the Yankee's got more runs but won fewer games. After all, if games are given to the people with the most runs, then logically it's only fair that the people with the most runs should win, right?

Exactly. So even though the Yankees lost their games, they should win based on runs. Go liberal thinking!

Sox not Socks, ok? Please just give me that.

Popular vote and baseball game scoring?....

AhhhmmmmmmmmmmOooookaayyyyyyyy

-Turns on the TV-

Look Munke! Telatubbies!

I think this baseball analogy of yours just doesn't hold water, munkebrain. It only serves to muddy it.

Yeah, even though the electoral college has been in place for over 200 years, just because more dead people voted for gore, he should be president.

What's a 'Sox' anyway?

St Louis scored more runs than any other team during the entire season, so by your logic, they are the champs.

The Yankees are gay and Steinbrenner is a cross-dresser.

Gay? Cross-dressers? I must remember to watch Yankees baseball more often, then I suppose.

Ok whoever posted the original post failed to mention that each game is a seperate tally, what a fucking dumbass. it doesnt surprise me coming from a conservative though....

Like each state is a seperate tally, dumbass?

Who cares if the Yankees scored more runs? That doesn't determine who wins a series. Learn baseball rules. So who cares about Gore logic who did win more votes than Bush by the way and should have been elected. But this thread is really about wishful thinking that the Yankees would still be able to hold a "curse" over the Red Sox's heads. Not anymore. History was made last night!
Enjoy it!!

You're missing the point of this thread entirely. It's to show you how ridiculous it is to whine about the popular vote.

Okay, that works.

Cardinals Win!

My apologies to Red Sox fans, not Red Socks.

Yes, The yankees are gay.

Whoever wins the popular vote should be president. If not, this isn't really democracy when the Electoral College chooses and the people just recomend.

:) Thank you for making my point so clear. By your reasoning, regardless of established rules, the team that gets more runs (votes) should win. Try not to flip flop in one post, like Kerry would if he posted here.

By the way, this thread is not about wishful thinking about the yankees. I hate them. I rooted for the Red Soxs in the WS.

Then clearly the person with the most runs should win, otherwise baseball is not representative of skill, just about who managed to get lucky in a few key games. The people determine how the Electoral Colleges works, they decide if they want to split the vote, or give it all to one guy.

munkebrain the only thing that's clear is the gap between your left ear and your right ear, and possibly the one between your left toe and your right toe. The jury's still out about the one that pumps blood though your arteries, too.

How clever. How many times did you have to type and retype that garbage before wasting everyone's time with it?

Ignore him, he got fired from the M&M factory for throwing away all the W's.

Exactly. So even though the Yankees lost their games, they should win based on runs. Go liberal thinking!

So the rules of the baseball championship count towards thinking that the Electoral College is right and direct elections are wrong... I pity you... :headbang:

NO ONE F.UCKING CARES!

The Electoral College is right, but you don't need a boring game to tell you that.

Is great logic for why popular vote doesn't matter against the electoral college. Excellent.

The Electoral College is right, but you don't need a boring game to tell you that.

I wasn't trying to say what's right and what is not, I was pitying him for his logic. :D Next trime you try to pick a fight, choose better words. :p

We'll give you the booby prize for "Most Worthless Runs".

We'll go a step further a make up a new designation for batting ineptness. When someone does more than their averages would lead you to expect, and they do it in exactly the right situations, we call them a "clutch hitter", right?

So now when a batter does less than his averages gives you a right to expect, and does so just when you need him most, but tries to cover the failure with the futility of useless hits that do nothing to decide the course of any game, we'll dub him a "Yankee hitter."

Well, Monkebrain's analogy is severly flawed.

Personally, i see the popular vote as representing a single game, with the state electoral system representing individual innings. Is the winner the team with the most total runs in a game, or the most innings won in a game?

Now, if we had a series of votes over time, that would be more like a World Series. In fact, who controls the Congress is more like a World Series. Over time, the side with the most votes will control Congress, though it's usually not decided by any single election cycle.

Just my two cents. I return you to Teletubbies.

Then clearly the person with the most runs should win, otherwise baseball is not representative of skill, just about who managed to get lucky in a few key games. The people determine how the Electoral Colleges works, they decide if they want to split the vote, or give it all to one guy.

Baseball and an election are two totally different things!!!!!

You win the World Series by winning 4 games!!!!!

You win an election by getting the most votes!!!!!!

Totally different!!!!! Baseball is representative anyway, it's the team who wins the most games. Try a different analogy!!!
