There are the Yankees and Red Sox. After that none of the teams matter. Don't you agree?

No, I don't agree.\n\nContrary to your believes there are 30 teams in MLB.

they say that because they've had an up and down rivalry for as long as the two teams have been around. \n\ni personally think that there should be a cap on how much a team could spend on their players in the league. imagine how much more exciting the games would be if all the teams were more evenly matched! \n\nand the teams i like - Red Sox, i loved the Diamondbacks, and any team thats playing AGAINST the Yankees. lol. just my opinion.

well it sure isn't going to be the Cubs, the Red Sox, the Yankees or the Mets.\nIm going with the world champion White Sox for a back to back championship.

Getting a little ahead of yourself, aren't you?  It's only May!  LOL\n\nThat being said, may I add...\n\nGod willing, Boston will not only defeat the Evil Empire, but they'll send them back to the Bronx in shame.  \n\nGO SOX GO!

i'm a beantown boy, so its all about the red sox around here. i wish that the teams had a league determined spending limit for their player salaries. imagine how much better the games would be if the teams were more evenly matched!

Yeah if you want to look at stats alone but weird things happen in baseball.I remember last year the Royals swept the Yankees and the Royals had a horrible team.That's why so many people get frustrated with the Yankees.People think they should win every single game with a pay roll like that, and they probably should.I also think that a lot of good teams are too relaxed when a bad team comes into town and then they loose.Sorry...I keep going on and on but its just that I am a Royals fan and even though they are bad I have seen them beat some of the best teams.I guess that's just how baseball works.

In the early season the Red Sox were well ahead of the Yankees (as they always are then) with many rally wins and good performance. But of course as a long-term fan I knew they would collapse come June and of course the did losing something like 5 straight and 12 out of 15 I think it was or somewhere around there. The Yankees were up about 2 games in the AL East for a long time but now that interleague play has started the Red Sox are looking really good for this time if year. They beat the Nationals something like 11-2 last night and have won 2 out of 3 games against the Nationals in a 3 game series in Boston with the final game coming tonight on NESN and WEEI. The Yankees went 1 for 3 in their series against the Nationals so by comparison of the series' the Red Sox are looking better right now. I also think they're ahead in the standings by at least a game maybe 2. I haven't checked it since I got home from school.

BOSOX NO.1 BABY\n\nThe Yankees is a suckass team you cant hate the players but the owner and the people in the front office. They have bought every championship that they have won.

White Sox have a fighting chance. Yankees have a great chance since they aqquired Johnny Damon, Red Sox are out of the Contenders and the Cardinals also have a fighting chance.

so many people have asked here "who do you think will win the world series in '06?" and in every one i said that i think the dodgers will win. their line-up is awesome and they just look great. they are the total underdog like the white sox were. no one thought the white sox were going to win. but the dodgers will win. and if they dont, anyone but the yankees.

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

detroit is my fave team.  even when they were crappy, i still stood by them.  i dislike the yankees becuz they always win.  it's high time detroit rises out of the fog they been in since the 1990s.

Aw, c'mon.  How can you hate the Olde Towne Team?  It's okay to hate the Yankees, but it's morally wrong to hate the Red Sox.\n\n:)

New York isn't the only state with 2 teams.  As so many people have pointed out, Ohio has the Indians and the Reds, Illinois has the Cubs and the White Sox, Texas has the Rangers and the Astros, Florida has the Marlins and the Devil Rays, Missouri has the Cardinals and the Royals, Pennsylvania has the Phillies and the Pirates, California's got 5 teams in the A's, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, and Padres, and a case could be made for the Washington D.C./Maryland area having two teams in the Nationals and the Orioles.\n\nIf you're talking about the city of New York, they're not the only city to have two teams either.  The Cubs and the White Sox both play in Chicago, and even Los Angeles has two teams (can anyone forget the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?), although the Angels play down the I-5 in a completely different county.\n\nAnd wait, I'm still not done.  The Yankees have been throwing money at players for years and yet they haven't won a World Series since 2000 when they beat the Mets.\n\nDude, check your facts before you start shooting your mouth off.

With the rosters as they are, I would take the White Sox.  While the Yankees have a great roster (I am a Yankee fan), the White Sox roster won in 2005 and has only upgraded in the offseason with the additions of Jim Thome and Javy Vazquez will only make the team stronger.
