Best thing is the true rivalry with the Yankees was with with Orioles, but it changed.
And yes, I hate the Red Sox and she is so bandwagon cause her hubby is a fan.
@MissFiFi: Please. When was this the "true" rivalry? A few years in the 1990s? I know you Yankee fans are a bit bitter that the Sawx can finally hang with you and then some, but c'mon.
And we welcome spouses onto the Red Sox bandwagon. As long as they can rattle off a lineup (check!), it's all good.
@Princess Leela: Actually, I am not bitter, it is about time the Sox won so fans could concentrate, love the game & actually discuss it instead of just yelling "Yanks Suck" I have loved Baseball all my life, but this rivalry has annoyed the fuck out of me, way before the Sox won. As a Yankee fan, yeah I get it, I am blowhard to you, but at the end of the day. it is just a game that, unfortunately, I have no financial interest in. Owning a team might be fun though.
@NefariousNewt a.k.a. General Awesomesauce: There was a blind item a few days ago that seemed to be about them and implied Ben was cheating with Blake Lively and that Jen would be hanging around the set of their new movie more. What do I see this morning? JEN VISITING THE SET. I really hope this isn't true.
This is not a WTF moment. Any true Boston fan would NOT touch anything embossed with the Yankee's mark of Evil. The Evil Empire is something that should be spit upon at any time.
My only problem with this is that Jay, who is from Andover, forced another Red Sox fan to wear a Skankees cap and touch a filthy picture of Derek Jeter. Jay is from Andover, MA, and should have far more respect for a Red Sox fan that THAT.
@NewsBunny: w00t! I guess she had to be a good sport, but I wouldn't even put that hat on backward. I once got drenched in pouring rain at a Sox-Yanks game in the Bronx because I had no umbrella and refused to put on the only available plastic poncho (had the Logo of Evil and Wrong all over it, natch).
@NewsBunny: Well, a Red Sox fan can touch Yankees stuff... if they are burning it, chopping it into pieces, putting it in a shredder, or running it over.
@jebash: I believe that Mike Bloomberg, being from MEDFID, MA, (my hometown) is secretly a Red Sox fan, but must hide it because of his political life.
I think he has a secret room in a Mansion some a wh eres devoted to Soxiness.
@BabyJane: Don't worry. They did it on purpose because they are waiting until I fly home to see a game with my sister next week to clinch their playoff spot . It'll be ok.
@BabyJane: Come on. It is very hard to complain about 2 titles in the last 5 years and a very good chance with Lester, Beckett and Buchholz as the 1, 2, 3 rotation guys for another ring. 2003, you bet your ass that was awful but I have forgiven Grady Little.
@BabyJane: Besides, you'll be all smiles again when they mop the floor with the Yanks over the weekend. We've won ten of our last 12, while the Yuckees can't seem to decide what they want to do. Plus, our schedule down the stretch is easier than theirs. I smell AL East crown!!!!
@NefariousNewt a.k.a. General Awesomesauce: Only very relatively speaking. I'm not sure the Sox get a tremendous advantage with the Jays and Indians compared to the Rays and Royals. All four of those team will be happy to play "spoiler" since none have a prayer of winning the wild card and can play balls out with nothing to lose. Just like most seasons, it seems--with the notable exception of last season--it's probably all going to boil down to this weekend. Nothing like keeping it interesting! Can't wait to see how it shakes out.

But I'm still bitter about Buckner being left in on first instead of putting Stapleton in.
