Red Sox Fans: Beware
You may get what you most desire right now; another shot to bring down the Yankees.
Revel in tonight.
But Sleep Tight, and Dream While You Can.
Because the Babe knows where ye sleep....

9. To win this game and get a chance to face the Yankees
for a shot at the Series...dude, this is on par with Kennedy's victory in 1960.

I won't even speak about what'll happen in Boston if...

and then if...

11. The threads of the universe would come undone
That, or Boston would drink themselves to death.
I'd do that too, but for different reasons....
1918!!! :D

12. The city will burn to the ground
having ceased to retain a reason for existing.

14. LMFAO
I was talking to a Red Sox fan, and he said "There is no reason to root for the Sox except for the hope somehow, someway, they can beat the Yankees."
He later went on to say they could lose the WS, but as long as they beat the Yankees, it was all good :)
I LOVE BASEBALL!!!

3. ...
2003: Marlins/Yankees.

But it doesn't matter who they play. Yankees. Accept no fake, Bostonian substitutions.

6. Go Sox!!
Because losing to the A's doesn't have that special bitter-sweet after taste of getting stopped by NY...again.

This is the series we wait for all year long.

13. It's not hard
rooting for a franchise who won 27 world championships is it? How many world championships did the Yanks win before you became a fan?

15. I've been with the Yanks...
since I was 5 years old. I got to see Mickey Mantle play *live* in 1966 and 1967. I'm no bandwagoneer.

HOLY SHIT! That's concussion-ville get the stretcher!

16. Same here
I went to my first game in the womb during the 80's- any baseball fan can tell you those were NOT glory days fer the Yanks.
Oh man, I hope Jackson and Dammon are ok :(

17. Here we go with............

that same ole idiotic line........As if all Yankee fans are bandwagoners.......as if there is no such thing as die hard loyal Yankee fans........well, since you asked....i've been a fan all my life....and I did not get to see a Yankee World Series Victory until 1996.....so it took me 18 years to see the Yanks win a world series....i've gone to Spring Training at least 12-13 times and i've gone to Boston every year for the last 7 years.....and go on one or two other road trips to see the Yanks play......

Anything else you'd like to know?

18. not that I care what you think ............

but that "Another bandwagoner Yankee fan" line is played out and really corny but I guess that's to be expected from a red sox fan........

BTW,


There are more GREAT, DIE HARD, LOYAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE, Yankee Fans than all red sox fans put together.......you'll NEVER know that but it doesn't matter.....all the great Yankee fans know it's true.........
