Red Sox or Yankees?

[IMDWalrus]

Neither...I like my Tigers.

I'm as surprised as anyone that they've starterd with a 4-1 record, but I'm definitely not complaining. This year is looking much better than the last few...

To answer this thread's question, I dislike both the Yankees and the Red Sox and wish that was a choice (the Mariner's fan probably does too). Some of my favorite players have been traded to both teams so I have some connection with both. Regarding the posts in this thread, please do not make yourself look dumb by posting meaningless shouts for a team without perhaps giving at least one sentence that says why they're better in your opinion or just straight-out facts regarding the team's history. Saying "YANKEES SUCK!!!" or "BOSTON WILL NEVER WIN!!!!!" just gets old and lacks the sportsmanship which Little League tries to teach all of us.

Judge not lest you be judged.
Do you go to the stadiums and judge the illogical hatred of the Yankee or Red SOx fan or the Packers or Bears fan or any other rivalry and expect a valid reason?
Whatever a fan chooses to express their dislike their hatred for a team is their business. It certainly doesn't justfy the bloody red rep your giving out. You are no more an authority on what justifys a good post here or not. Especially in chit-chat.

Out of the two choices, I would have to say I would like to see the Red Sox win this year, because I think the whole Curse of the Bambino makes them a loveable underdog, and who dosen't want to see the underdog win? Although if there were more choices, I would stick with my buddy Crash852 and pick my hometown Mairiners.

Im sure some people here read Sports Illustrated regularly.

In each issues, they feature a certain state, and take sports related polls within it. In almost every single state, the #1 or #2 most hated opponent is either the New York Yankees, or George Steinbrenner.

I can't stand the Yankees, so Im going with the Red Sox.

Did you know:

The Yankees payroll, if dispersed among all of the current FIRST teams, would provide around $180,000.00 per team.

well i <3 the sox for life... BUT... i was in tampa this past weekend with my family to visit some relatives and to go to Busch Gardens (i love montu!!!) and saw the friday night (if you watched the game can you tell me if you saw a bright green sign that said "we came from RI to see Rocco") game against baltimore that went into the 10th and the D-Rays pulled out the victory!!! and they swept the series against the orioles... its going to be between the Sox, Yanks, and Rays... 2 of these 3 teams will make it to the playoff's (1 eastern division champ, the other Wildcard) gaurenteed!!!

[Alex Pelan]

Yankees all the way! Since I live in CT, the rivalry is pretty bitter here. I'd say its about half and half in our town, but I side with the Yankees.

No but then again I like to poke fun at it. Hehe. I never quite understood why anyone would get so worked up about a silly sport. It is the same mentaility with the Linux and Windows debate. People just become to devote.

If you polled every basebal fan with this question there is no way the Yankees would win. Unless you are a Yankees fan, chances are you hate the Yankees with a passion. There are way more of these Yankee-haters than Yankee fans.

Rememer the whole "Contraction" controversy a couple years ago? I was in favor of contracting the Yankees. Before you think "that's stupid", think about it. The reason for contraction was: the talent pool is too thin for all the teams. Well, the talent pool would be just fine without a giant Talent Black Hole in the Bronx. So I say:

CONTRACT THE YANKEES!

Also, I never respected Mark Prior more than when I heard he turned down a million-dollar contract from the Yankees right out of high school to go to USC. Young atheletes should learn from him.

[Greg Perkins]

there is a reason why i don't like these posts.

one, they single out two teams, and not the entire league.

two, people slam other peoples ideals for liking one team over another, it's like we are still in second grade arguing over who's backpack is better.

three, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, your opinion is as good as mine, and thats it... no need to dish out negative rep points to someone who has an opinion.



ok...enough with my rant, i want to pass along my vote/thought about the two teams who were brought forward.
Being i live an hour north of boston, im a die-hard, born and raised Red-sox-ian. If you look at the strenghs that Boston has aqquired, then you will definatly realize the potential. i mean 11-6 (redsox) 9-9 (yankees) i mean c'mon, the stats show who has the better team.

I would like to thank Mr. Steinbrenner for drafting an egotistical player who demands too much money, to play on a team who is losing thanks!

So all-in-all, Red Sox have my vote.

On this I definitly have to say my boys the Boston Red Sox... I have been a fan all my life... No matter how much we get disappointed each year, I always believe in my team!!!

[TD78]

Definitely the Red Sox. They have an awesome offense that may put up just as many runs this year as they did last year. Coupled with a pitching staff that is far superior to the Yankees, and to the rest of the league for that matter, I see the Sox doing very well this year. And besides, it's so easy to like a team, such as those Yankees, that wins all the time.

Go Sox!! (Tonight begins the series back in N.Y., can we all say sweep!! )
