It's true what any level-headed Sox or Yankee fan is saying. Alot of baseball to be played. As a Yankee fan, I'm not feeling so self-assured about us winning the division, yawn, again. That aside, anyone who thinks the Yankees suck or the Sox suck or A-Rod is gay for Johnson or Johnny Damon is gay must be insane. That said, yes, it's true you Sox fans had your one little moment of glory last year. That will probably be it in your lifetimes. But the Yankees greatness has been so sustained that I can't help but laugh at the Red Sox fans who seem, to me anyway, to believe that the Sox are the greatest thing to happen to baseball since bats were invented. Red Sox fans are hilarious. But hey, I'd be alot more worried if Yankee fans and Red Sox fans stopped running smack at each other. It'd be a sure sign of the apocalypse.

So true, Derek. The Sox sure don't need confirmation of anyone's greatness. Why does this sound strange coming from a lifelong Yankees fan, you may ask? Well, the fact is, as great as the Sox were in pulling off probably the biggest upset ever in the playoffs last year, then going on to win the series against heavily favored St. Louis, that the Red Sox were great for a little while, a few brief weeks. That's all. Nothing more. We're talking the current Sox team here. I don't deny you guys have had some pretty awesome teams over the years, albeit teams that couldn't win a World Series to save their lives for 87 years. A-Rod can not yet talk about being a champion, but he will be. It's just a fact. Sometimes he opens his mouth a bit out of turn on various issues, sure. I'm 36 now, and if I live the normal life-span of a male, I don't think I'll see the Sox win 5 more World Series. The Red Sox have no long-term greatness. The Yankees consistently do. So if it makes Sox fans feel better to criticize A-Rod for what admittedly a back-handed complement, go ahead. Congrats on last year's win, I hope the image stays in your mind forever.
