Hi Fans,
I decided to create this post simply so that I could understand it, as opposed to complicatedly, which is hard to understand... I mean so that there is no more whining from either side of the so-called Red Sox Yankees rivalry. The numbers listed below are facts and not opinions:
YANKEEZ Numberz of teh RINGZ: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, (yo bra, what's after 21?!)... 22... 23... 24... 25... 26... 27... 27 RINGZ!!!! SPOONED!
RED SUX RINGZ: 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 7 RINGZ! awfulolzomgesundheit!
NUMBRE OF YEARZ AS LARGEST PAYROLL IN MLB: ALL OF THEM!
AMOUNT COMMITTED TO 3 FREE AGENTS IN 2008-09 OFFSEASON TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES: $423.5 million ($161 mil C C Sandwichia, $180 mil Teixeira, $82.5 mil Burnett).
NUMBER OF SHINY TEETH IN DEREK JETER'S FACE: 33!
NUMBER OF SHINY STARS ON DEREK JETER'S REPORT CARD: 200!
NUMBER OF TIMES I FANTASISE ABOUT DEREK JETER IN TEH SHOWER: [redacted - the Mgt.]
NUMBER OF TIMES WE YANKEE FANS IGNORED THE GREATEST CHOKE IN PLAYOFF HISTORY: Every.
NUMBER OF TIMES WE YANKEE FANS IGNORED THE TEAM DURING THE FIRST HALF OF TEH SEASON, WHEN THEY SUCKED: A lot.
NUMBER OF CURSES AND INSULTS UTTERED TO A RED SOX CLOSER AND HIS WIFE ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK: 1,362 (Hat tip - Rasmussen polling.)
NUMBER OF NEW YORK'S FINEST RIOT POLICE MASSING ON THE FIELD TO PROTECT PLAYERS FROM AN ANGRY MOB IN THE 2004 ALCS: Several hundred.
How is this a rivalry?
In addition ungrammaticalcomma to the numbers listed above where'sacommawhenyouneedone the 2009 Yankees had the best record of any World Series winner this decade!! Which is much more awesome than sweeping two World Series, or coming back from being down 3-1 in one series, and 3-0 in another! Or competing with $70 million less in payroll!
Hats off to the WORLD CHAMPEEN New York Yankees, so that we can collect change from passersby and maybe one day afford a ticket to see them!

Cool except that’s false because one million Yankee fans already jumped off a cliff killing themselves after 0-8 and they still bounced back to 9-9. And the Yankees always suck int he first half and have beastly second halves and when it’s the Sox it’s almost the opposite.

Does anyone want to handle this?

it wasnt called a “sellout” cause they didnt sell their standing room only tickets.

I'm surprised
That no one wanted to pay $ 500 for an SRO ticket. I guess Yankees fans have gotten accustomed to hiding in watching the game from the comfort of their living rooms over the last several years…

That'd be a great comparison, if we had equal size stadiums.

Okay, "all u[s] red sox fans" on OTM were fans before 2004 (aside from a few younger members).
Kinda what happens when you narrow a fanbase down to those committed enough to regularly participate in a community like this. In general, there’s a hell of a lot of bandwagon Sox fans; I’m not going to deny that. In fact, once you guys have crashed because of the horrid business model currently being used, I’m going to have to debate whether I want to see the Sox lose their bandwagon fans as well, or if I want to see the Sox destroy the MFY to the greatest degree.
But if you think that MFY fans “have always been faithful and will always be no matter how long it take to win a world series”, I can recommend a great optometrist; obviously, to be so blind, you’d have to be suffering from some sort of vision issue.

Horrid business model?
Yanks own their own television network. YES made $400 million in revenue last year. Thats great business yo. Not to mention this brilliant business decision by George back in ’96
Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

Exaggeration, but I wouldn't call some of the contracts they've been giving out good decisions.
There are players like Rodriguez, Teixiera, and Sabathia that will be paid like they’re the best at the point in their career when they’ve become average at best.
