Whats the best rival NYYANKEES/BOSTON or NYY/METS

[CHOPTALK]

Which one?

 

[teazeman]

yanks & boston, no doubt. both teams and fans dislike for each other make it a great rivalry.

 

[Iceman]

I am kinda of digging this TB/Fla thing this weekend:missingte

 

[Insiders]

Its Very close. Both have something that the other does not.

 

[gynecologist]

Not even close? Weird question Chop? After the 2004 Season and
the Babe Ruth trade how could anyone say Mets??

I think if you asked 100,000 people 99,987 would say Boston

 

[CHOPTALK]

20 to 1???????

Come on folks, its not that high.

The Yankees/Mets are a pretty damm good rival.

The Yankees/Mets are a pretty damm good rival.

They have never really played a meaningful game against each other. The Red Sox/Yankees are in the same division and meet in the playoffs. Pretty intense rivalry there.

1) Yanks Red Sox
2) Cards Cubs
3) Giants Dodgers

They faced off in the 2000 World Series.

What a horrible take
Yes, 20-1 is ridiculous
It should be 2,000,000-1

Divisions and endless playoff rivals for decades comparedto 1 WS and a few interleague games
lol

 

[Avocado33]

it's Boston

But people forget how one-sided the rivalry was for SOOOOOO long

 

[Serbone]

Yanks-Red Sox, for sure.

Cole, $36M a year, failed last night, his contract goes another 6 years, is he having back problems? Chronic? The super salary teams like Yankees, Dodgers ($282M), and a few others can afford to deal with this kind of situation but most franchises cannot.

I do not know what is going to be negotiated this winter but IMO some kind of salary cap should be explored, the top 7-8 markets have the $$$, the others cannot compete, sure TB does ($71M) and a few others, but it is a joke. Dodgers lose Bauer, no problem, they just took Scherzer at the trade deadline. Next!

MLB is smart to socially engineer it to allow for the big market teams to have a leg up. Nobody is watching a Tampa/KC world series.
