Yes, IF the Sox do the stupid, stupid, Ellsbury/Lester for Santana trade, then, maybe, they start to out-Sheffield and out-Clemens the Yankees. But that doesn't make the Yankees any BETTER or more homegrown. It just means they have a rival in the sandbox.<BR/><BR/>Yanks fans just don't like to see someone else not just win once, but become dominant.<BR/><BR/>Now go plan some more luxury boxes for that soulless new stadium (Sox management found a way to save Fenway, yo).jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09071490137784361629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323679.post-3154276512261373152007-12-01T21:45:00.000-05:002007-12-01T21:45:00.000-05:00OK, I'll bite. "In the last four years I have seen...OK, I'll bite. <BR/><BR/>"In the last four years I have seen the pitiful Boston Red Sox go from aww shucks losers to cocky World Series Champions, twice."<BR/><BR/>- How does the word "pitiful" spring to mind in this scenario?<BR/><BR/>"So why can't Boston at least share the title of Evil Empire?"<BR/><BR/>- Because Red Sox already have a Nation and have neither the need nor the desire to be an empire. <BR/><BR/>"They don't wag their fingers in your face they either beat you or go home, it's that simple." <BR/><BR/>- Waaaaaaaaaahhh! I don't like it when a man wags a finger at me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!<BR/><BR/>"Manny showing off during a game."<BR/><BR/>- A multimillionaire professional athelete showing off after hitting a homer. Never thought I'd see the day...<BR/><BR/>"Name one key contributor on your team that is from your farm system! Okay you have Youkilis and Ellsbury, but you didn't even play Youklis in the final game!"<BR/><BR/>- Thanks for finding the hole in your own statement, Andrew. Saves me the effort. And, um, the Sox won the game and are heroes to millions, so who cares what farm system a player came from? We still love them. <BR/><BR/>"Calling my Yankees 'The Evil Empire,' you guys are a Joke your front office is a joke."<BR/><BR/>- A winning joke.<BR/><BR/>"When you win more at least a dozen World Series then you come talk to me, Boston needs to catch up to make this a rivalry its taken you 90 years to figure it out!"<BR/><BR/>- This sentence makes no sense.<BR/><BR/>"John Papelbon dancing like a fool and really rubbing it in."<BR/><BR/>- Something that happens repeatedly in every NFL game whenever a touchdown is scored. <BR/><BR/>"At some point during this little dance he proceeded to yell Yankees suck. Would Derek Jeter or anyone on the Yankees say this about the Red Sox after winning the ALCS or the World Series...The answer would be no."<BR/><BR/>- Fuck Derek Jeter. Yankees Suck. Go Sox!
