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).

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.

This, verbatim.

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.

I spend way too much time on the internet reading peoples' opinions and comments about baseball (mostly in places other than this), and I've never, ever heard anyone say that. Or even allude to it.

I've maintained a long tradition of hating whoever is in first place the most.

If they play each other, I cheer for the one with the worse record

I hate the Knicks for their self-entitled fanbase, I hate the Yankees for outspending everyone else and expecting a championship, and I hate the Red Sox for their bandwagon fans who are self-entitled jerks.

I hate the Yankees organization more, but the Red-Sox have much much worse fans. Yanks fans are douches but they don't pretend not to be. Sox fans can be completely deluded. Where are all the Sox fans saying their team is better than the '27 Yanks this year? Lol.

I just hate that the Yanks drive up salaries so much with a careless attitude towards budgeting and giving way too much money to has-been players. That just raises the price for the actually good young players. I used to be "LOL Yanks are going to waste all that money on that guy!" to "Crap now we gotta give all this to our guy to match the expectation!"

Given what came out in the papers today, I might have to change my vote.

Red Sox, and its not even close. I'm not saying that all their fans are idiots but I have experienced more than my fair share of morons. To make a long story short, I went on a road trip to watch the Jays at Fenway with a bunch of buddies a couple years back and let's just say the experience at the ball park wasn't too pleasant.

Red Sox without a doubt. Ever since Wade Boggs there's always someone on that team that just annoys me. Clemens,Pedro,Manny,Papelbon till they left..Beckett, Youk. Ugh.

As for the Yankees they don't bother me too much outside of A-Rod..good players and despite their reputation for buying players they boast some incredible homegrown talent like Cano,Jeter,Rivera. Plus Don Mattingly one of my all time faves. I guess the same applies to the Red Sox too but the jerk quotient is higher on the Sox.
