Yankees are not going to be the best team in baseball for a while.

To me its not so much them jumping on the bandwagon but commming out of hiding. at least in chicago it was tough to be a sox fan because it seems like cubs fans would gang up on you you always seemed outnumbered. most fans just kept their mouth shut. but now the sox are champs and theres nothin cubs fans can say. and to those cubs who jumped ship we dont want ya go back to your crappy team youve insulted for years. And i agree with all night i miss going comisky right after school and buying a ticket to the game. cant do that anymore. Good times.

You see the Soxs fans have problems! We all know that the Yankees are the better team. The Soxs fan just don't want to admit it because before the 2004 World Series the Soxs didn't win a WS title for over 80 years! So the soxs fans are just dreaming. The season had just began. The Yanks will clobber the soxs. Then the soxs fan will go crying home just like they always do. The soxs have won like what 3 or 4 WS titles? The Yanks have won 26 WS titles. They will make that 27 WS titles at the end of this season. So who is the better team now? It's clearly the Yankees. But you soxs fans are going to keep denying it just like always!So you soxs fan can kiss that WS ring good bye!!!!   \nGO YANKEES!!!!!!

Yankees have more championships, more fans, and just a much classier organization.  SOOO, my answer is Yankees, red sox suck and they are just jealous of the Yankees fans and championships and money.

I live in northwest Washington, so am not particularly excited about the Mets coming to Boston, but last year when the Mets visited Seattle for the first time I was very excited (I'm a Mets fan) and was able to take in two of the three games.\n\nIncluding, incidentally, the first victory by the Seattle Mariners over Pedro Martinez.  :) :) :)\n\nNo problem with Sox fans cheering Pedro on but wanting to see the Sox win.  That is quite normal.

Because, most, not ALL of Yankees fans are complete idiots. For example, as a Mets fan and Yankee hater, I can still admit that Jeter is a GREAT shortstop and that Sheffield is a great player as well.  Yankees fans cant do that.  Yankee fans say, ohh yeah, Jaret Wright is better than Pedro Martinez, why? only because he's on the yankees.  Johnny Damon is better than Carlos Beltran they say, not true, they cant admit to anything because Yankees fans are morons.\n\nWell you know what, now the Kings are in QUEENS, get used to being the "Bums from the Bronx".\n\nBy the way, to the guy who posted this question, I commend you, you're one of the few, the proud, intelligent Yankees fans. Kudos.

New York Yankees\nWhy?\nWhen I was a kid, my dad loved the Oakland A's. He always brought us to the Coliseum for games vs. the Yankees 'cause my mom is from the east coast. She hates Baseball so she never went with us but she bought my sister and I Yankee stuff to wear to piss off my dad. As I got older, and began playing baseball and understanding it more, I became a Di HARD, TRUE BLUE Yankee fan. The Yanks RULE. My dad still can't stand it and my little sis became a Mariners fan when she moved to Seattle. I now live in Alaska where Yankee fans are hard to come by. SOX SUCK!!!!!!

I'd love to have a chat with the person who says the Red Sox sold out...  Gee, when did THAT happen?  Last time I checked, the Red Sox weren't trying to buy up other teams players to cripple one team and stack their own.  Well guess what, they spent over 50 million for Johnny Damon and look what they got.  Another Pansy wearing Pinstripe Crybaby just like Jeter and A-Rod.  They deserve one another and last night's victory was sweet on SO many levels.  Every time the Yankees lose, I think God himself Smiles.  They are truly the evilest of empires and with my dying breath I will hiss the words:  Yankees Suck

I was surprised to hear Mike & Mike on ESPN admit that the NL East race is over...it was nice to hear the Mets get the respect they deserve!  If you listen to a lot of other media outlets in NY, the Yankees are always on top: Mike & The Mad Dog are complete Met haters, even the local news channels (channels 5 & 9 specifically) lean towards the Yankees.  And it's killing me now that people are saying that the Mets are winning because a former Yankee (Randolph) is managing.  The Mets are unstoppable right now, and will probably have 5 or more representatives at the All Star game, so I hope that gets them a bit more respect.\n\nI couldn't deal with the biased media anymore, so I got XM, and I have to say that the coverage there is pretty even.  I do admit though, that I'm biased myself...what Met fan wouldn't be?!  =D

Because they are haters.  No pun intended.  As for a tangible reason:  \n\n1) There are prevailing stereotypes regarding Northerners(Yankees).  This makes it convernient for people to hate the New York Yankees\n\n2) People think they are cheaters\n\n3) People dont like the "Power" that George Steinbrenner seemingly has.\n\n4)Because they win all the damn time!.............(-:

I hope it is because those die hard Yankee fans need a lift after seeing this year's team falling behind. Of course, they live in the past anyway.\n\nGo Red Sox!!

Well, The Only Beldon, at 68, married with four kids the youngest of whom is 35 and the oldest 40, I must be one of those homosexuals who can't get a date because I LOVE the Red Sox along with the entire Red Sox Nation who number in the millions. You sound like a jealous Yankee fan who will be crying at the end of this 2006 season when the Sox sweep the Yanks to win the division, then sweep the Chisox to win the pennant, and then sweep the Cardinals AGAIN to win the World Series. We in Red Sox Nation salute you as you go down to defeat yet again.

Yep.  All NY sports fans are cocky.  And all NY teams suck (except the stoopid Yankees).\n\nGo Devils!

I'd have to agree with these other folks; the Red Sox (fans) hate the Yankees more, but the Yankees (fans) return the favor. There is some jealousy involved, some natural geographic rivalry (2nd most hated team by Yankees fans: Mets), and the long standing Babe Ruth grudge. If you watch the games, when Red Sox runners are at first, Giambi is chatting away to them, the same for Yankee runners gabbing with Youklis. The players are professionals, the fans are rabid. There is always big talk about the Yankees payroll (198 mill.), but the Red Sox are 2nd with 124 million, which is more than double that of 15 other teams, so that is relative.\n\nI hate the Red Sox because I am a Yankee fan; I was brought up that way. Members of Red Sox Nation were brought up that way, too.

The Red Sox are yesterdays news.  The will be lucky to finish behind the Yankees and Blue Jays.  Pretty soon everyone will be bailing out.  Schilling is done.  Pedro is in NY and Terry Francona may be the worse manager in baseball.  But don't fear Boston fans, 2090 is just around the corner!!!!!
