1. You can't remain indifferent.
You are either with us or against us.

4. For that answer
I'll hate the Red Sox a little less. Or the Yankees a little more. Unless a Yankee fan tops you.

3. The Difference Is
Yankees fans don't care if you love us. Red Sox fans will curl up into the fetal position and cry like babies when people don't love and feel sorry for them.

5. That would've been perfect
without the extra jab at Red Sox fans.

So, I'll hate you both equally again.

10. Do you have a minor league park nearby?
Love my Yanks but I also liked going to some of the various parks that sprang up in Jersey like the Waterfront in Trenton and the field in Lakeside.

Good baseball, get to see up and coming players and you can't beat the prices(comparitively of course).

13. San Jose Giants
which is kinda hard to swallow as a minor league team, just because it's so close and SJ is is such a big city.

But my fave is from college: The Eugene Emeralds. Rickety stadium, hot tub by first base, BBQ by third and friends working the beer stand outside.

14. That's cool.....
There isn't a minor league team super close here in San Diego but I have gone to see Tony Gwynn's SDSU baseball team.

Another trade off between Shangri La and Jersey.

19. Wise guy
We are a game ahead of you and you shouldnt alienate someone with gypsy powers, plus do you really want me to consider rooting for the yankees, I will never do that but dont even make me consider it.

20. i dont know why something I say would make you do that
and, to be honest, I don't really care.

If you're that wispy that you'd just go and root for the yankees instead of the orioles, you're not exactly a 'good fan.'

It's about quality, not quantity, and the red sox have the best fans in baseball.

21. I meant for the future playoffs
Edited on Fri Apr-15-05 07:00 PM by JohnKleeb
I was kidding btw. Rooting for the Yankees would be like shooting myself for me, I hate them that much. I dont know who has the best fans in baseball, and BTW I think its hypocritical for Yankees fans to complain about fans interfering with baseballs, because of what happened in the ACLS in 96. I like the Red Sox a hell of a lot better htan I do the Yankees, I just dont like you looking down on the Orioles when you may need them to bump the Yankees off late season.

22. hey... the red sox are my favorite team, but my second favorite is
whoever is playing the yankees.

(okay, so I guess to that guy who I was saying about the dodgers, they are really #3! :D)

I predict that Red Sox - Yankee tension will become violent this season. I hope it doesn't, but Yankee fans don't seem willing to avoid it.

24. Hey you know thats how I feel
Orioles 1
Who ever palys the Yankees 2
Nationals 3
Red Sox 4.
Believe me man, I was right behind your guys during the ACLS last year, I loved rubbing it in their faces after they expected to sweep. I just really do not like the Yankees for too many reasons.

23. Just talked to my buddy
He knew you'd say "rich history" before I even told him. Now that's funny.

26. The Yankees and Red Sox are the Hilton Sisters of MLB
High profile, glitzy divas who arrogantly flaunt their riches.

They're generally only attractive to the dullard masses, but everyone likes to see them get fucked.
