The hate is only natural. Comes with the territory of being a Sox Fan. I like you guys who are fans of them in many cases (Such as you Jake and Betall). But that doesn't mean I can't hate that damn team.
If a Yanks or BoSox fan said "Yeah but I also like the other guys." I would think he/she was weird or knew nothing about baseball or was making a boatload as a commentator.
Having said that, I did in fact pick the Yanks to win the series in Wil's thread.
The Yankees had the highest payroll in baseball in 2008 and yet did not make the playoffs. I thought that the team that spends the most money always wins the world series?? Somethings wrong hear. What I hate most about the Yankees are the Yankee haters. A bunch of f'ing crybabies and whiners.:howdy:
I've been a Yankee fan since 1958. I grew up hating the Red Sox. Now that I've lived in the Boston area for 30 years, I've come to respect them and often root for them especially if I have money on them. I know most Yankee fans would look at this attitude as unacceptable - and that's what I hate most. The fans on both sides are often obnoxious. What made me most happy about this championship is that it got some of that bad taste out of my mouth from when the Yankess choked vs. the Red Sox in 04. I love my team, but sometimes you gotta tip your cap to the other side - and imo there is nothing wrong with that.
Jeter began the Turn 2 Foundation, a charity organization, in 1996. The Foundation was established to help children and teenagers avoid drug and alcohol addiction, and to reward those who show high academic achievement. The organization's name derives from the baseball double play (where "turning two" refers to making two outs on one play), and indicates the goal of the Foundation to give youths a place to "turn to", besides drugs and alcohol.<SUP id=cite_ref-found_79-0 class=reference>[80]</SUP>
During the 2009 season, Jeter and Mets star David Wright will represent their foundations in a competition sponsored by Delta Airlines; the player with the highest batting average will receive $100,000 for their foundation from Delta, while the runner-up's foundation will receive $50,000.<SUP id=cite_ref-80 class=reference>[81]</SUP> Wright's group, the David Wright Foundation, focuses on multiple sclerosis.<SUP id=cite_ref-81 class=reference>[82]</SUP>

I hate everything about the Yankees. There isn't anything about them that doesn't make me puke. But the announcer takes top honors.
"He sends a Tex message over the wall! An A-Bomb for A-Rod! That was Swishalicious! The Melky Way shot by the Melk-man! Back to back.....belly to belly!"
