      <comment>I think as time moves on, the Game 6 thread will be okay, merc.  Can probably stay on there until the mods kick us off like last year.  Then can move around as Yankee Hot Stove articles come out.</comment>

      <comment>  Where is the group going to be meeting?  I am not even attempting to get on the threads with the IDIOTS out there.  ESPN, honestly needs to provide a place where INTELLIGENT Sports can be discussed, instead of having to put up with the 3 year old mentality that seems to frequent any article about the Yankees, but the jealous fans of other teams. I am not talking about the TRUE fans of other teams either.</comment>

      <comment> I agree with Roto, Part of what makes this title so special is the fact that we as a group got to share in it, with Yankee Fans that we never even knew, when when we got number 26. Thanks to all of you guys for the journey.</comment>

      <comment>With a smile still plastered on my face (and toothpicks holding open my eyes), would like to extend congratulations to all my magpie brethren.  It has been a long season, with its share of ups and downs, but like my friend dezzie previously stated, it has been an absolute pleasure to have taken this ride with each and every one of you.</comment>

      <comment>To my fellow magpies, some of the best baseball fans on the planet.....How sweet it is! 
Congragulations to Ole' George and the Yankees. 

As always, it's been a real pleasure talking with you guys all this season, and I look forward to many more! Hopefully we can start a road trip next year, where we can all meet and cheer on the Yanks. </comment>

      <comment>Gentlemen, I'm still struggling with inexplicable problems using the ESPN fan-site -- both my own profile and the group page.  Today, things seem to be working, so here goes...
The WS game threads are - not surprisingly - utterly filled with mindless posters with childish predictions and inane comments.  I suggest that we all do as we have in the past and stay lagging behind things a bit.  So, for the time being, I think we should continue to use the ALCS game 6 thread.  Once all the fools have moved on to the WS game 2 thread or beyond, we should then shift to the WS game 1 thread. Sound reasonable?</comment>

      <comment>  I got on here for a few minutes last night to congratulate the Angel fans for a great season, and the amount of FOOLISH BS being tossed about on the thread was beyond all belief.
 I can understand that people who do not like the Yankees were pulling for the Angels, and I respect that, If it had been Boston, I would have pulled for the Angels as well. But I honestly can not understand the amount of total HATE being tossed out against people that the posters did not even know. That is childish as hell.
 It has gotten to the point that unless we can get a thread where almost all the posts are from Magpies, with a few exceptions. it is no longer fun to even attempt to pacify the IDIOTS, in order to talk intelligently with the ones who choose to do so.
  Go Yankees. hopefully we will bring home number #27 with or without Girardi's bullpen, moves.

      <comment>  I have been on vacation for awhile and that is part of why I have not been around, but also part of it is, that there are simply way too many IDIOTS on ESPN, the likes of Ontario.Niagara, Ohio, RedNeckYankeeHater. ALL the same person, whose only purpose in life is to be a total A$HHOLE.
  It used to be that ESPN had just a little bit of dignity, and would remove the trouble makers, or at least give them a warning. Now it seems that ESPN, much like way too many other people in this country seem Hell Bent on Destroying things as they are in regards to the way that MOST people want them.  
 I come here to talk INTELLIGENT sports and not put up with the BS that so many run rampant with. It is a shame that ESPN and the majority of the ones in charge there would prefer to cater to the trouble makers, rather than the ones who attempt to use this site as it was intended
