overkill, the boone crap is in overkill infancy compared to bucky f***ing dent. the rivalry isnt dead, it's changed and from a sox fan perspective for the better.
For far too long the rivalry consisted of us trying to beat the yankees--unsuccessully. It was a clear case of the favorite versus the underdog, with the lovable losers finding new ways to submit to the bully.
That, of course, has all changed and now the easiest way to shut up any yankee is literally tell them to put a bloody sock in their mouth.
It is by far the greatest rivalry around but its diifferent now, and I say better. we arent the bitch anymore, we are the champs, and whining little yankee fans can say what they want but they arent the bullies with the big payroll anymore, they are just a team that choked with a big payroll.
with that siad I agree with BigPapi...I wasnt so upset as usual friday, becasue I knew we would win saturday and that our lead was large enough that we wouldnt take the old nosedive.
But that doesnt diminish the rivalry--as far as the rest of the sports world caring, who cares. I hate all that is yankee and always will. Of course, they have some good fans and players, but that doesnt mean I cant loathe them.
saying the biggest choke in sports history feels as good today as it did last fall.
