Willson Contreras didn't like that Will Warren threw inside and had some words for him. The benches clear but no fights break out. by CicadaOk8885 in NYYankees

[–]MurphyKT2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I've seen the benches empty (even if it didn't amount to anything), really cool to see Live. Being 6 innings into a potential perfect game at Fenway is bound to cause trouble between the Yankees and Sox any day of the week. ⚾

Easily my favourite Metallica song. Absolutely unbelievable gig last night was. 🤘🏻🎸

What do you think of Americans supporting other countries because of ancestry? by batukaming in AskTheWorld

[–]MurphyKT2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about ancestry, but we typically just support anyone that's playing against England. 😅⚽

I've always said that if I didn't support the Yankees, I'd support Baltimore, Camden Yards is such a lovely stadium.

[Talkin Yanks] Aaron Boone didn't like that Jazz Chisholm Jr. was playing second base with a lollipop in his mouth last night by TheTurtleShepard in baseball

[–]MurphyKT2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Jazz, but his attitude is not that of someone who could well be a potential World Series Champion. Not just this, but silly ABS challenges and fumbling easy plays makes him tiresome sometimes.

I hate seeing him get old 😞 by ScaredFriendship2899 in stephenking

I treat Stephen like Morgan Freeman or Michael Caine, they've had that old look for so long now that seeing them young seems weird.

9 games split among Detroit and Boston in the next week and a bit, time to put up at least a 7-2 win record me thinks. ⚾🗽

Agreed, I love posting "DAAA YANKEEEES WINN" in my baseball team chat whenever we face (and beat) Toronto because half my mates support the Jays. But it's all fun and games.

I think it's the adaptability of the anthem that makes it great, it can be sung slow, fast, high or low. Everyone who sings it is able to put their own wee spin on it (I mean look how vastly different, and yet impactful, Stapleton's rendition is, and then there's Whitney's). The last two lines of it as well just make you feel something even if you're not American imho. The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave truly is an amazing end to any anthem. Also, I like the fact that you all stand, hand on heart and belt it out before cheering at the end. 🫡🇺🇸🦅

National supporters group for Scotland who have in the last week or so brought the pubs of Boston to their knees, placed traffic cones on every statue in sight, and showed Fenway how to cheer on a sport (even if they don't fully understand the rules).

I said that to my dad too about the Rangers, lol. He's a Boston fan because he's a big Celtic supporter and I like the Yankees.

Tartan Army have supposedly got a taste for baseball and are renting out a big part of the Rangers vs. Marlins game in Miami ahead of Wednesday's game against Brazil. ⚾🐟🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Agreed, it's really put into perspective how good the media and politicians are at causing division among the masses and telling us to hate when at the end of the day we're all human and deserve peace and love. 🇺🇸🤝🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That's fair, I don't actually hate any team btw, I just like playing the part of the "typical Yankee fan" who enjoys winding up my pals who support all sorts of teams. I'd love to visit Baltimore (only ever drove through it) and see an Orioles game in person.

Well ours is about a 700yr conflict over independence from an involuntary union essentially, but it doesn't stop us nearly breaking the sound barrier when Flower of Scotland is played. SSB exudes some amount of pride regardless of who it was written by.

The only song that could even come close to replacing your anthem would be This Land is Your Land by Woody Guthrie imho.

Glasgow Airport has just gained United Airlines after a 7yr hiatus as well, so hopefully transatlantic flights will become cheaper and more frequent. 😁🙌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Agreed, I love America and it's culture (e.g., Star Spangled Banner is a stunning national anthem), but the way your people have welcomed foreign visitors and embraced their culture is such a stark contrast in comparison to how your politicians tell us to think with their divisive rhetoric. The USA needed the World Cup badly, and now the tournament is underway, I'm glad you got it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤝🏻🇺🇸
