Red Sox are better on many levels.
1. The Yankees, and their fans, for that matter, are arrogant, cocky, and hard to like. It's rare when you meet a down to earth Yankee fan. They haven't won in years, but still think they are God's gift...I'll never understand.
2. Every baseball fan in America HATES the Yankees, except Yankee fans. This hatred stems from jealousy for sure, but since 1996 it stems from unfair payrolls, as 95% of the teams can't even come close to what they spend. But again, the last $1,000,000,000.00 hasn't gotten them anywhere.
3. The Yankees have no heart and soul. Besides a couple of players, their team is like a revolving door of former superstars who can't handle pressure (see A-Rod).
I could go on forever, but I don't want to bore anyone...
Sox are better. They have more heart, passion, and a love for the game. The Yanks see dollar signs, and that's about it.

Born and bred a Yankees fan.
Our line up is more sound, and instead of a 1-2 punch of Ortiz and Manny, we have a 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 punch.
Don't forget, the Yankees have the most illustrious history of any franchise of any sport.

As much as I hate to say it, the New York Yankees are probably better. While Boston has an excellent team, New York just has it all, especially if Carl Pavano can return to form. New York has a definite edge in terms of lineup production, with big guns in the lineup and consistent hitters throughout the batting order. Jeter was almost the league's Most Valuable Player, and is a good contact hitter who has the attitude and skills to be a team leader. A-Rod had 35 home runs and 121 RBIs even in a subpar year. Jason Giambi is as, always a dangerous power hitter with excellent plate discipline. They lost Gary Sheffield, but still have Hideki Matsui and Bobby Abreu, two great hitters who drive in runs and play the field well. Jorge Posada is good at catcher, both offensively and defensively, and Robinson Cano hit over .300 as well. The Red Sox have a good lineup, but it just doesn't look scary compared to the Yankees. They have two of the best hitters in the league in David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez, but they are both defensively deficient, although Ramirez has a decent arm. Julio Lugo was a good pickup, but not the answer to Boston's problem for a sparkplug. Lugo is not a gamebreaking force on the basepaths and is merely a good player who never had a chance to prove his worth with Los Angeles. Boston has Mike Lowell, who is spectacular defensively, but is not a great hitter. Dustin Pedroia could make an impact, but not enough to cover the Red Sox' glaring offensive holes. Jason Varitek is something of a question mark, and J.D. Drew's desire to play and ability to stay healthy are questionable. Coco Crisp is yet another Sox player who could make a splash, but he has to prove he can rebound from an injury-plagued 2006 season. The Red Sox have a stacked pitching rotation, but highly regarded Daisuke Matsuzaka has to prove himself over the course of a big-league season, Schilling and Wakefield are old, and Clement and Beckett seem to have problems at times. If Papelbon and/or Jon Lester crack the rotation, they will have trouble showing they have it in them to pitch at least 5 or 6 innings a game. The Yankees have Chien-Ming Wang, one of the best starters in the league, and Pettitte and Mussina round out the front end of the rotation nicely, but the back end is weak with Kei Igawa and an injury-prone Carl Pavano. But the Yankees' bullpen is clearly superior, with Mariano Rivera providing an intimidating presence in the back end of the bullpen, compared to Boston, who has many mediocre relievers vying for the role of closer. Overall, both are very good teams, but Toronto has a legitimate chance to threaten in the playoff race.

The Yankees, but everyone knows that both teams pretty much buy a spot in the playoffs every year with their insane spending. You know whats funny the Marlins had a payroll of 19 million, and still finished the year with around the same record as the Redsox. And we know of course Boston didn't make it. Small market managers have to be careful with every dime they spend. Boston and New York can afford to be careless, and it still bites them in the butt. Kinda funny.
