Question

Not a Yankees fan, a not ashamed to admit it Royals fan. But the way you phonies lose your mind over one dutch boy sock propelled ring and a little success has this native New Englander (Carver,MA-Newport RI 1979-200 and FORMER quasi RedSox fan secretly hoping the Yankees jack you. Where was all this twenty something houliganistic enthusiasm back then? You watch "Fever Pitch" then "Good Will Hunting" and off you go! Run out into the world with fake red goetees and a fake Boston accent, talk real loud, get all exited, ahhhgue about who's been ta Fenway the most times. Do any of you know who Reid Nichols is or do you all think this is a suggestion to save money? Old school fans I apologize. There are a few of you out there. A FEW.

Answer 1

My high school was in walking distance of Fenway. They didn't sell out then and you could get into unreserved grandstand (sections 1-7 in right field) for $1 under 16, so I went to more than you did driving up from the cranberry bogs in Carver. Red Sox fans enjoyed good teams and solid players like Yaz, Rice, Evans, Remy, Hoffman, Boggs, Fisk, Gedman... but only a couple of pennants and no World Series until 2004. We would like to be spoiled. Even in recent history, the Sox have been good in the last 10 years, but made the playoffs in 1998, 1999, 2003, 2004 and 2005. They came close in 2000 and 2003 is historic for its miserable ending. Red Sox fans rightly feel that they have suffered enough (how do Cubs fans stand it?) and would like to see the Sox win another Series, if only to prove to the louder mouthed, less loyal, more spoiled, worse sport Yankee fans that 2004 was not a fluke. Now, do you get it?

Answer 2

I am a die difficult Red Sox fan. I am no longer sour in any respect that the Yankees gained; even though, I could have so much instead have had my Sox win, similar to everybody else could have cherished to peer their groups win. There is definitely that the Yankees purchased their option to a name (as do many tremendous marketplace groups), however simply since they spent cash does not warranty them the name. And extra humans hate the Yankees since in their effective historical past and that's simply one more purpose humans carry up the cash challenge. I noticed anything extraordinary this 12 months from the Yankees. They gave the impression to be having amusing, like little children extra. Especially A-Rod, he gave the impression of a child final night time. I additionally preferred that the middle institution of men have been nonetheless there (Mo, Jeter, Petite, and regardless that I despise him Posada). I simply desire they nonetheless had my favourite Yankee of all Bernie Williams. All in all, I am form of completely satisfied the Yankees gained. I desire it lighting an *** underneath the Red Sox's *** and will get them into moment equipment for subsequent 12 months. I wish one more Sox vs Yanks ALCS. And as for actions move...I suppose they must exchange for Gonzo of the Padres. He is a beast. I suppose that if we surrender Bay and Beckett and make a exchange for Gonzo they'll be bigger off than signing a glass. And if a opening pitcher is what they're watching for I could exchange for King Felix over Halladay. I could additionally no longer be adversarial to buying and selling Papelbon. If they are able to maintain Bard clear of the trades, he's a more in-depth within the making, and I cherished how Wagner appeared...
