To all of those proud members of the Red Sox Nation…we do not need to gloat…our team needs to keep playing the way that they have during August. The Yankmees are in trouble…god, what are all the fly-by-night fans going to do??? Maybe there will be a run on Boston hats this fall…and we can become famous when jackasses like Fred Durst wear our caps as fashion accessories…oh to dream!

As opposed to how many humiliating playoff defeats over the years? It amazes me how many Red Sox fans are obsessed with the Yankees. If the Sox were blown out last night, I doubt that any Yankee fan member of the forum would have bothered to create a topic.
I was at Fenway last weekend and the number of fans wearing Yankees Suck t-shirts was insane, not to mention the number of young kids wearing them. I don't think Yankee fans have the same obsession with the Red Sox, but this is probably old news.

I do fear them more than any other team, I just think the two teams are evenly match, and cubs cardinals games are always close, but I find this particular Cubs team to be pathetic and underserving of making the playoffs, why do they keep acting like they are the best team in baseball when they can barely keep the Astros from the wild card

well the Padres may be in trouble, they play the Cardinals 5 more times in the next couple of weeks

well, somehow the padres survive, just like their manager. but yeah, the padres have the toughest schedule of the wild card teams. . .the cubs have the easiest, by far. . .4 left with the expos, 6 with the marlins, 6 with the pirates, 3 with the mets, 3 with the braves and 8 with the reds. course, they finish with 3 at home against the braves.

My point exactly. What lame NY excuses? Trust me, no one in NY will be that angry when the Sox (eventually) win the world series. And if the Sox beat the Yankees in the playoffs there will not be much of an uproar after about two weeks. Not like the months long group therapy sessions in Boston last year.
Also, it's not as if beating the Yankees (or not) en route to the World Series changes anything about either franchise's history, or even the "rivalry" that they share. Look at the head to head numbers - there's not much of a rivalry, only in the minds of some Sox fans… the ones who chant "Yankees Suck" at Patriot games, and let their 8 year olds wear Yankees suck A-Rod t-shirts…

Actually, it won't even cross 99.9% of the peoples minds in a couple of days. Well, unless you keep brining it up of course.
Then I'm the .01%…I still bring up 1997 Divisional Playoffs. (Go ahead, everyone delve it out)

I was at Yankee Stadium in 1978 and saw scores of fans with Red Sox suck t-shirts.
I'm also not a Red Sox fan, but it does my heart good to see the Yankees get their asses whipped.
