This is less fear than anger, annoyance, and shame. The Yankees have preformed craptacularly in the last 2 games.

This is different. This time it is against the Red Sox, which makes it more unacceptable. The anger, annoyance, and shame are part and parcel of the fear of losing to the hated Red Sox.

No more annoying than the fact that he would do that in the first place.

Yes, we hate the Red Sox, but it is NOT a two way street- we hate the Red Sox like one hates an obnoxious little dog that just won't stop yipping and nipping. We don;t hate them like Equals-we don;t think of them as Equals. We will be in the playoff next year-we have been in the playoffs every years since 1995. That can;t be said of all the teams that beat us in some playoff series. Just look at the Marlins, or the Diamondbacks. Again, we have lost more WS in the last 3 years than Boston has since 1975.

So yes, there is a rivalry with the Sox, but its not an equal hatred- cause its not been an equal struggle- hard for Yankee fans to hate the sox like they hate us given we have come out on top 98% of the time in the last 86 years.

Just look at LoA as an example- he goes appoplectic- he thinks mentioning payrolls is an indictment. This is the behavior of the deperate. We lost a WS last year- we will be contending for opne next year. I will be very happy to see the Soxs get crushed, but I know we will have a second chance next year.

Yeah, but as you can see, this series isn't about past history. Its about history being made. The Red Sox will make history.

And when this Red Sox team comes back from 3 games down to win 4-3, this Red Sox team sends the Yankees to be spanked by Steinny, and THIS RED SOX TEAM wins the World Series, they will be remembered more than any Yankee team ever.

Period.

I've known enough Yankee fans (remember I'm from Jersey) to know this is far from the truth. Maybe some do act like you. But plenty were very upset at the prospect of perhaps losing to the BoSox in last years ALCS. And a very great number despise the Red Sox and want to see them feel pain every year and can't bear to lose to them.

You have not even won the series and you are already saying this team shall live in history as tyhe greatest in baseball history? Man, in some ways you are more deluded than Lawrence.

1. You have not won the series
2. Lets not even talk about your WS accomplishments yet
3. Does ANYONE really remember the other 2 teams in other sports that came back from 3-0? Anyone? Its the totality of a team that makes them great-if the Sox win this series, the fact the Yankees choked in the last 3 games will hardly make their season historic, only their performance in one series- and that is NOT enough. Murdereres rows, the Boys of Summer- those teams will live long beyond these guys in the memories of baseball fans. If the Sox win this series, they will be a statistic, but nothing else about this team makes them even in the top 50 baseball teams of all times.

Yes, but its a reaction to Soxs fans- we hate the fact that even thought we have trounced them again and again and again the crazy bastards think they are equal, and we relish their suffering, cause its what annoying people deserve.

But in the end we move on-only Soxs fans.

[Imran Siddiqui]

You are, quite frankly, the ONLY Yankees fan I've met who believes that (it isn't a hatred for the team, only their fans). From all I've seen there is equal hatred from the Yankees as there is from the Red Sox. It isn't a one way track.

And yes, plenty of Yankee fans hate the BoSox fans, but also hate the team just as much.

[Imran Siddiqui]

And of course, I have heard Sox fans saying they really hate the Yankee fans instead of the team itself (especially back in 1998)... which is just as bull****.

this is why everyone hates the yanks, for their arrogance that they are the best and that nobody is anywhere close to them.

thats why when jeter says in the 8th inning in game 7 last year of the alcs that ' the ghosts will help us because we are the yankees' they hate him even more.

Part of it is a defense mechanism. They rely on their history to convince themselves that they will pull through in the present. When in actually they have their doubts. There were plenty of Yankee fans sweating bullets when the ALCS went to Game 7 last year (antacid sales probably went through the roof in the tri-state area ).
