im going with the sox though. theyve actually had the audcaity to whine about the yankees and try to play the underdog, while spending through the roof. at least the yankees revel and admit to being the evil empire

Red Sox fan rant (a pretty funny one at that): http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... HX_fkTU0gQ

It's too bad we didn't cause another one.

At least the Yankees have won a lot and use their championships to back up their talk with, but the Red Sox just win a little the last 10 years or so and think they're the ****. The bandwagon Red Sox fans around make it even worse.


How does a team with a $500 million payroll every year go on an 86 year championship drought?

The Red Sox are one of the most overrated franchises in all of sports.

This. If I have to pick the Yankees for sure no contest. Them and their fans are just douchebags.

Well I won't attribute more dislike to either franchise, but BOS fans - across all sports - are worse than NY fans and NY fans are awful. Hate both teams equally, but BOS fans are just a touch worse, with PHI fans probably slotting just between them.

Yanks fans. At least Red Sox fans have fantastic taste when it comes to basketball teams. 8-)

Anyone remember that game when arod yelled mine as he was rounding third on his way home and that lead to them winning the game.

Denied it after the game even though it was on video. No repercussions or anything. I would have beaned him next game.

That was the last game of the series. Towers beaned him the next time they played.



I stand corrected.

Every time arod comes to the plate I feel like beaning him though. It was just such blatant disrespect for the game.

Yanks, do have a bunch of classy players tho but until arod's off that team I'm forever going to hate them.

My immediate reaction was the Yankees since I hate everything they stand for, but further thought makes it essentially a toss-up. I don't hate the Yankees players apart from A-Rod, but I can't stand their ownership and bandwagon fan base. Their loyal fans are actually pretty awesome, but their bandwagon fanbase eclipses the Kobe/Lakers bandwagoners 10-fold. Like LeBron wearing a Yankees cap when his hometown Indians were facing them in the playoffs. As for the Sox, I hate:
- all Boston sports teams
- all Boston fans
- a large chunk of the Red Sox team

So it makes it a much more difficult decision. I think I will change my vote to the Sox.

I've always liked the Red Sox. I don't know why, it doesn't make sense (just like hating them wouldn't make sense). The Yankees I've always hated. Actually when I was a kid I had both Blue Jays and Red Sox stuff on my bedroom walls. However, I like seeing them lose, in the same way I like seeing the Maple Leafs lose. I want them to win, but the meltdowns are just so enjoyable.

Disliked Yanks for along time. Boston is a very close second though, just more hating that all their sports teams always win (Pats, Sox, Bruins and Celtics).

Being in New England, I am more annoyed by the Red Sox (as a Jays Fan), so I voted Red Sox. However, I am sick of the Yankees constantly signing everyone that swings a bat or throws a ball well to exorbitant contracts. I also hate when Yankees Fans claim that Cashman is a better GM than AA, it's ridiculous. If there was a 150 million dollar salary cap in the MLB, the Jays and Rays would dominate the AL East.

To be fair, the Red Sox throw just as much money at players as the Yankees. I do agree with you on Cashman though. He has the easiest job in the world. A monkey could manage that payroll.
