el_jefe061 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 With Roger Clemens coming back, Josh Beckett pitching as good as anyone, and the ongoing Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, I think it's time we put our figurative money where our mouths are. How about a bet? Not an actual bet, something along the lines of a Yankee fan putting a Curt Schilling photo in their sig, or a Red Sox fan talking about how great the Yankees are, etc. Either way, the point is for someone to eat crow. Any takers? You don't have to be a Yankee/Red Sox fan. If you think your Cardinals counterpart should admit that Big Z is better than Chris Carpenter, than initiate it here. Bet #1: I, el_jefe061, bet RussFeathers, that the Boston Red Sox will win the AL East ahead of the New York Yankees. If I win, RussFeathers must change his name to "RedSoxAreTheBest" and have a Josh Beckett picture signature till Opening Day 2008. If RussFeathers wins, I will have a "Roger Clemens/Alex Rodriguez: Playoff Excellence" photo signature till Opening Day 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwinginSoriano Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Yankees will win the division, I'll let Y4L or someone put "Soriano Sucks" as my title. (He'll be pleased to do it.) Seriously, I don't plan on that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_jefe061 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 I think we should set some ground rules, if anyone actually wants to do this. Rule #1: One bet per person, unless you work something out to where you can handle more (I.E. One bet says you put Beckett in your signature, another with someone else says that you have to admit the Yankees suck, etc.). Rule #2: If it involves a signature, you have to have the losing sig up for no less than one week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I'm just kidding - I'm not a fan of either, so I'll just be a bystander on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_jefe061 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 It's on then. What happens if the Yanks do win the division? what do you want me to do? If the Yankees win the division, I'll put "Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens: Playoff Excellence" in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussFeathers Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 If the Yankees win the division, I'll put "Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens: Playoff Excellence" in my signature. and you have to keep it permanently...... if i win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgbaseball Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 It should be the loser has to keep the sig and avatar of the other team until that team goes out of the playoffs (assuming one of them makes it). So, if the Yanks go to the playoffs, jefe has to have a Yankee sig and avatar until the Yanks either a)win the WS, or get eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_jefe061 Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 Edit: I kind of agree with KG, although I hardly care about what's in my signature. How about you keep the signature till Opening Day next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillerBs Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Hmmm... this sounds fun. Any of you Cardinals fans want to take this? If the Cards finish above the 'Stros in the standings, I'll use a Pujols sig until opening day 08. But, if the Astros finish above the Cards you use a Berkman sig until opening day.

el_jefe061 Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I still wish someone would take me up on a bet involving Beckett. Out of any Red Sox player, this has been the one guy Yankee fans have been ragging on the most. If he's so bad, come in here and make me a bet.
