So I was never a BoSox or a Yankees fan before this series.
But I've been watching it, and I have to say something. And if it makes me enemies, so be it. This is my honest opinion, unbiased and from someone who just watches baseball because she likes baseball.

The Yankees players are cheaters and the fans at the games are criminals.

That is all.

6. I won't say that.
I won't comment on Yankees fans in general because I'm sure they're nice people (who tend to root for teams that win). But the fans at the game were out of control.

9. Heh.
Oh, you'd forgive me. My team hasn't won in a very long time, if it makes you feel better.

I've just never seen riot police at a baseball game before. They didn't have to do that at Fenway.

10. I'm a Sox fan, but did you see any of last year's series?
The Boston fans were not entirely "friendly".

12. I admit, I did not.
This is just the opinion I've formed watching this year's series.

16. The Yankee fans have become frustrated and paranoid--just like we
Red Sox fans usually are!


How sweet to have the tables turned!

17. Didn't the yankees beat up the Red Sox groundskeeper for
cheering for the Sox in the Yankee bullpen?

Pedro rolled Don Zimmer, which I think was the least he could've done. Memo to Zimmer: If you're over 60, don't pick a fight with a world-class athlete.

18. I've seen them.
Including at Fenway. Remember the playoff game in 98 when the Sox fans were throwing shit on the field?
