Who is the best team in Baseball right now? Boston!! Just thought I would brag because the Red Sox will take it all this year and break the curse..

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh baby!!!!!
Its our YEAR!!!!!!!!!

**so glad I live just up the street from Fenway**

Now, Red Sox fans are fanatical, but have you ever tried to watch a Sox/Yankees game in NYC? It's a death sentence literally.

So, yes, "Yankees ____!"

Babe Ruth still haunts the Red Sox! The curse will continue! The Yankees rock!

Boston started out hot last year too. The standings don't mean much till July

Yeah Boston!

The Pats won the superbowl, the Celts are looking great and the Red Sox are infirst place

It could be the year!

....and it's the middle of May, don't forget.

I'm not going to get too concerned about the standings right now. Yankees had some crappy patches last year, they'll make up for it later in the season.

What would be truly extraordinary is if Boston didn't somehow choke it away in the second half - they avoid clutch play like the plague.
(and yes, I know i'm from CT and go to school in Boston, but I'm still a diehard Yankee fan)

Everyone knows that if Nomar, Pedro ect.. stays healthy Boston will dominate. The reason Boston didn't go no where last year because both of them were out alot.

couch? lol

Yep alot of people join the bandwagon when a team wins alot of championships.
You know I am a true Boston Fan because they haven't won one in a very long time and hasn't been to a series since the Mets.

Did you hear about the story of the Boston fans searching in a lake next to the house that the Babe used to own for the piano he pushed into it. They wanted to find it and restore it to break the curse. I thought that was interesting. Guess there are more die hard Boston fans out therre than me. lol

Damn right....I've liked the Yanks since they sucked, in the sad days of Stump Merril, Andy Hawkins and Willie Randolph. It's funny to hear someone say what a big Yankee fan they are, and then they choke when you ask them who Don Mattingly is.

I never realized the extremes of Sox fans till I came to school in Boston. Those Massholes really get pumped up for the Sox games, which is kinda cool until October, when they see their team choke again.

Boston never chokes they always end up with hurt players. Yes Collin I know your a true Yankees fan if you admit it and your from Boston. Do you dare walk down the street wearing a Yankees cap?

hahahaha - me and collin, well let's talk about the odd couple . . .

I love the sox (and the A's from when I was a kid) . . . ksigkid loves the yankees. so one day we head to the house, he rolls out from the dorms in an old-school yankees jersey - all I can say is "God, don't let that have a #2 on the back . . . "

Of course it does.

So the first thing that happens is a masshole driving by (at around 90 mph) rocks out with "GO BACK TO NEW YORK YOU F$$$ING F$$$$$$ . . . "

Hysterical.

And no - he doesn't rock the cap, but he rocks the jerseys sometimes - the kid just doesn't do hats. Long story.

BTW - zntke - please don't apply any more jinx than is necessary. The sox are playing well, but we got tossed tonight at Safeco (just like the Yanks a week ago) - we're playing well. Leave it at that man!

No need to taunt Cashman into trading for, let's say, Larry Walker, and put the division completely out of reach . . .

The Sox could definitely win over 90 games this year, with the talent they have (and the retardedly easy AL East schedule...) - it's just that NYY could win over 110. It'll be a great run though, especially if Pedro gets at all consistant.

And DGPhoney - the last time we "went" was 1986, and the last time we won the division was 1995, for the record - and no one can compete with the Yankees' titles, in any sport, I'll give that up for sure.

I forgot, Bill Buckner had a pulled muscle when he let that ground ball go through his legs in the world series right?

I used to rock the Mattingly jersey too. It was fun freshman year to get reactions out of people, especially when the Yanks and Sox were playing in the ALCS. I have about 5 Yankee jerseys at home, I may start cycling those in this summer.

Buckner was just an idiot. He has to live in hiding now because all the death threats. For the amount of money the Yanks spend on their players and the amount Boston spends on theirs I would hope the Yanks would be better. There are no jinxs KSig RC. I have faith in my boys. We will lose some games maybe even have a slump but we will prevail. Maybe Boston will get lucky and somebody like Jeter will get put on the dl for the rest of the season. Never lose faith in the Red Sox.
Oh and Nomar is so much a better shortstop than Jeter.
