Red Sox vs. Yankees Series Preview
There’s no rivalry in Boston bigger than the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, and perhaps no bigger rivalry in professional sports. Every matchup between the two teams is an epic showdown, and we’re about to witness another one.
The Red Sox have shown great strength this season against their foes, winning 8 of the first 9 games they’ve played together. The Yankees historically rule over the Sox, but this decade has been much kinder to the Red Sox, winners of more world series.
After the series this weekend, more reasons will be spawned for me to hate the Big Apple! David Ortiz is going to get skewered and that is putting it mildly, due to his possible steroid involvement. You thought Pedro got it bad with “Whose Your Daddy?!”
Despite Boston’s recent success, it still gets under my skin every time I see New Yorkers ripping Boston apart. They’ve always been our biggest spots enemy.
Yanks in 99 and 2003. Damn you Aaron Bleeping Boone! The Jets beating the Brady-less Pats in OT at home last year to basically knock them out of the playoffs for the first time in 6 years. I don’t hate the Giants and Mets as much but they still gave us our share of pain in 2007 and in 1986.
There’s something in the air in New York that makes us turn into animals. A few years ago, I went to a Rangers/Bruins hockey game at Madison Square Garden. Obviously, the Bruins lost (with my luck), and it brought out the worst in me!
Fans of the Yankees and Mets who are otherwise great friends go at it like there’s no tomorrow when defending their teams. It’s New York’s fault, I tell you!
New York, you are Boston’s Death Star. Hovering and menacing over us waiting to blow us to smithereens. However, we got our hands on the plans and will continue to have the last laugh like we did in 2004! Who’s your Papi now!?!?!
