Chicago, anyone???

D'oh! Don't jinx us now Rand!

Where in Boston/ Cambridge would this game be shown?

 

Exactly! Let's not jump the gun here.

That being said, "should" the Revolution advance the match most likely would be played in Chicago on Friday, November 14th at 8:30PM.

If this is the case then maybe the Midnihgt Riders can put together a viewing at The OverDraught in Cambridge? If that's the case it sure would be nice to get a good crowd there.

Not counting our chickens... just planning ahead:

It would likely be tough to get enough people for a bus on a Friday... if this were any other New England team, it would be an accepted day out of work. Being the Revs, no one even knows they're in the playoffs, if they even know there's a team...

That aside, The OverDraught in Cambridge is a great alternative.

Riders - Keep us posted?

 

unlike the sox, the Revs don't choke against NY.

 

You got me there, that's cause Red Sox fever was still in the air, its contagious.

 

OK, so the Fenway workers had to paint the World Series logo on the field before the end of the ALCS. Do you know why? Because if the Sox had pulled off the win in Game 7 of the ALCS, they would have opened the World Series at Fenway in less than 48 hours after Game 7. People seem to think that the Sox jumped the gun here, but in all reality, the logo painting had to be done in (hopeful) anticipation of an opening game there. And the reason they didn't paint it at Yankee Stadium so early is because there were still games going on there. Get real! JMMUSA8: for someone who has been complaining on other threads about the amount of Red Sox chat that goes on in Revs games, you have been doing a whole lot of anti-Red Sox yapping on here yourself. Give it up! Honestly, you seem to hate the Sox so much, I wonder if they denied you season tickets or overcharged you for a friggin Fenway frank! You obviously have some issues with the Sox, and that is your business. Leave it off the SOCCER boards because you are currently acting like a hypocrite in spite of yourself. Don't complain about the supposed Red Sox chatter that goes on, when a lot of your comments on here seem to be directed at the Sox. Get over it and concentrate on the Revs, which you claim is the priority. maybe you should talk more about them.

Whatever his spazz tendencies, he's right about whose decision it was to put down the World Series logo. MLB told the Sox to do it. The Sox didn't want to, but when MLB speaks....

 

Let's clear up one thing: I am a female. Now that we have that straight.... And nor am I pregnant, so there was no Lamaze class to miss. Not sure I get that joke anyway. Some of you may have read other posts by me on here, and you may already know that my one intolerable is sports bashing, of any kind. People are free to follow whatever sport they like, but when this becomes a bashing baord for other sports, as I have seen very frequently here, then it gets annoying. People try to use the World Series logo thing as an excuse to bash the Sox, like they need any more bashing. This is a soccer board, and it should stay that way. To quote JMMUSA in a recent post, there is a time and a place for it (he was speaking about Sox chatting) and I say, this is not the place to sports bash either. That's it, I'm climbing off my soapbox now. And, I LIKE MY NAME!!!!!!

Is this a thread about the potential game against Chicago?

 

Does that come with a cute little red plastic derby bearing the letters RSF?

Anyway, while the Overdraught is great some of us may want to stay closer to home. Any interest in a Worcester or Springfield viewing? Unless some other huge sporting event is happening that night I would think that Smokey Bones in Springfield is an option.

 

Do you or don't you want people to support the Revs?

Let's get off this Red Sox thing once and for all. Look at it this way: Now it's the Revs turn for a playoff run. Wouldn't it be nice if we got a quarter of the attention and bandwagon jumping that he Sox got a couple of weeks ago, and that non-fans started following the Revs and, if not coming out Sunday, at least following them on TV and in the papers? It might be a bit much to ask for, but if we want non-fans to embrace our beloved team, how can we in good conscience trash the Sox (or B's, C's, Pats, etc.) if/when they fall short?

It's always a good thing when any of the local teams does well. My rule is that unless you have a direct connection to the city or team playing the Boston/New England team in the post-season, always support the locals. FWIW, I did actually hear someone say they were a "big St. Louis Rams fan from way back" when the Pats played them in the SB. How many years have they even been in Street Louie? Less than 10 is my guess... Anyone claiming that is either a liar, or follwed the Rams when they were in LA, or the team formerly known locally as "Big Red" because they had the same name as the baseball team that has the same level of "tradition" as the Sox.

As for jumping the gun, wouldn't it be nice to see the DC Thugs break a few legs and Chicago choke so we could have another home game? That series is in the same situation we are in, where it is theoretically possible for the lower team to win 3-0 or 2-0 and win on PKs, but not really all that likely.

I'd be willing to do a bus!!!! To Chicago. Anyway to get 30 others?

 

Rand,

Some of us have to work for a living but it is fans like you that do the rest of us proud! Bang a bucket for me and enjoy the win..er, I mean wind, I wouldn't want to jinx anything

 

My husband and I are going to Chicago. What's the word on tickets? Are you guys getting a block together? We'd like to sit with other Rev fans if possible.

 

Had planned on driving out (as luck would have it, I've got this week off), though I may reconsider if it turns out to be a solo-trip. However, if anyone out there is also thinking of a road-trip let me know via PM or email and maybe you can hitch a ride with me (or vice-versa)
