Tell me why the Yankees are better than the Red Sox!?

The Yankees try to buy championships every year.  I see that $250 million payroll really work for 'em last year!  The White Sox won the World Series on the same amount of payroll for the team (about $96 million) as the Yankees first 6 starters in the Yankee line up!  Way to waste that money Steinbrenner!!!!

The Red Sox will be victorious!  Besides the fact that they are the better team, the Yankees have been terrible this season in night games so far.\n\nWelcome back Doug Mirabelli!!

If it was just about the payroll, then the Yankees would win every year.  (Their payroll is almost double that of the Red Sox, by the way.)  I do agree that watching the game should be fun, although for me the rivalries are part of that fun.  It's a shame that some people take it too seriously and ruin it for other fans.

there are many differences between red sox fans and yankees fans...red sox fans BELIEVE in their team win or lose...yankees fans for some reason think their team won no matter what. they are so arrogant and most are gay as well. they are all holding on to the 80s and 90s. face it yanks fans...the other teams are just too good for you to get through! red sox, white sox, tampa bay (hehe), gay-rod leads in errors, and damon...you can have him, hes gone gay! so step down yankees fans..you pinstripe bitches just dont shine anymore! RED SOX ALL THE WAY! lets go 3-0 against the yanks! you havent beat us yet! :p

This year, the Yankee's payroll is $194 million compared to the Sox at $120 Million.\n\nThose numbers are not close at all. The Red Sox only spend 60% of what the Yankee's spend. \n\nLast year the difference was even greater as the Yankee's spent $208 million and the Red Sox $123 Million. \n\nThat $70-$80 million that seperates those two teams is greater than the salaries of over half of the teams. \n\nTo say they are equal couldn't be more wrong. \n\nIf you made $60,000 a year and your friend made $100,000 a year, would you say that you made the same amount of money? \n\nThe real question is why do the Yankee's continue to spend way more money than anyone else and still either lose or fail to make it to the WS for the past 5 years to teams that spend far less money than them. \n\nDoesn't George Steinbrenner realize that you can buy talent, but you can't buy chemistry? The reason they dominated the 90's was because they had role players like Oneil and Brosious and Girardi. They were all tough guys and clutch players. They have much better players now, but no rings.

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!!!!!!

The American League teams are just better in general.  If you look at the stats over the years and even this year you will see it.  Plus the Red Sox, Yankees, Tigers, White Sox are all better then the National Leagues best team.

Boston Red Sox!!!! The Yankees suck. The only reason they are any good is because they are rich and can buy any players they want.

On average, the Red Sox fans have the bigger passion/more dedicated fans.  I'm a Yankee fan, and although it is hard for me to write that - because there are many ridiculously dedicated and intelligent New York Yankee fans - but if you consider the amount of dedication per the average fan - the Red Sox have to win.  They are truly dedicated, and as a baseball fan I have to respect that.  That said, go Yanks and Bostonian's don't forget you spent the 2nd most amount of money last year - so don't call yourself a small market team!  You're champs now anyway, right?  Go Damon!

Red Sox. Yankees Suck. Randy Johnso sucks.  Josh Beckett is awesome.\nI absolutely agree with the overpaid losers comment- especially Johnny Damon, Jeter, and Jaret Wright

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.

The Yankees obviously have the best players, but if they are the best team still depends on if they can mesh.  I'd say them right now though, you can't go wrong saying so.

Dear fellow Met fan: I hate the Yankees because the BOSS spends oodles of money on players who don't bring him a championship. Back in the day before Steinbrenner got Giambi, ARod, etc; Jeter, Tino Martinez and Paul O'Neill helped bring the Yanks to multiple titles. I guess I don't hate the Yankees all that much, but I seriously dislike them. When the BOSS is out, then I'll give them a little more respect. The same respect I have for guys like Joe Torre.

According to roster the Reds should be better, but their payroll is higher also.  When the red's pitchers develop they can very easily be a contender.  The reds.
