EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT QUESTION... THE YANKEES

A rivalry is a rivalry. On any given day, if they are playing each other, anything can happen. \n\nAs far as MLB as a whole is concerned, I say the Yankees are better.

BOSOX NO.1 BABY\n\nThe Yankees is a suckass team you cant hate the players but the owner and the people in the front office. They have bought every championship that they have won.

The Yankees obviously have the best players, but if they are the best team still depends on if they can mesh.  I'd say them right now though, you can't go wrong saying so.

Yankees have no integrity. With such a high payroll, they should be better than they are. They don't play as a team, plus their players are a lot older than the Red Sox.\n\nRed Sox by far.

On average, the Red Sox fans have the bigger passion/more dedicated fans.  I'm a Yankee fan, and although it is hard for me to write that - because there are many ridiculously dedicated and intelligent New York Yankee fans - but if you consider the amount of dedication per the average fan - the Red Sox have to win.  They are truly dedicated, and as a baseball fan I have to respect that.  That said, go Yanks and Bostonian's don't forget you spent the 2nd most amount of money last year - so don't call yourself a small market team!  You're champs now anyway, right?  Go Damon!

I'd have to agree with these other folks; the Red Sox (fans) hate the Yankees more, but the Yankees (fans) return the favor. There is some jealousy involved, some natural geographic rivalry (2nd most hated team by Yankees fans: Mets), and the long standing Babe Ruth grudge. If you watch the games, when Red Sox runners are at first, Giambi is chatting away to them, the same for Yankee runners gabbing with Youklis. The players are professionals, the fans are rabid. There is always big talk about the Yankees payroll (198 mill.), but the Red Sox are 2nd with 124 million, which is more than double that of 15 other teams, so that is relative.\n\nI hate the Red Sox because I am a Yankee fan; I was brought up that way. Members of Red Sox Nation were brought up that way, too.

unfortunately I think the yankees are because they have a deeper bench, better hitters and pitchers.\nI must say though that answering this question like this really hurts because I am a red sox fan.\nBut the reality of it is, is that the rsd sox have deminished their position players to much, and they really only have two maybe three quality hitters in their line up now.

If it was just about the payroll, then the Yankees would win every year.  (Their payroll is almost double that of the Red Sox, by the way.)  I do agree that watching the game should be fun, although for me the rivalries are part of that fun.  It's a shame that some people take it too seriously and ruin it for other fans.

My all time Yankees team is the team that collapsed two years ago after being up 3 games in the ALCS. Love that team so much!!! I love the Red Sox.

How you say that they don't have enough offense?  Ortiz and Manny will again be dominant.  Beckett and Schilling are lights out.  Their bullpen is solid.  AND, if rumors come true, Clemens would be the final piece of this team.  Even without him, I feel that the Sox are poised to stop the Yankees' run in the AL East.  They also have a great shot at taking the Series this year, too.

RED SOX!!! I HATE the Yankees with all of my life. Yankees are little, rich, stuck-up jerks and they just remind of those little snobby rich kids back in school that think that they are the best thing since sliced bread. The Red Sox don't care about anything like that. They are just there to play baseball, win, and be a good team. And when Johnny Damon went as a free agent to the Yankees, he cut his hair just to fit in with the stuck-up freaks. That is why I am a RED SOX fan for life. (but I like the Carolina Hurricanes a lot better)

Babe Ruth played for both the Red Sox and the Yankees, as did Roger Clemens and now Johnny Damon plays for the Yankees.  They don't care.  It's just business.

The Yankees do have a great lineup...\n\nBut man!  Take a look at ther pitching staff!\nTalk about a bunch of dinosaurs!\nSome of them are older than Yoda!\n\nThe Bo-Sox are a more complete team and should take the pennant.  No guarantees, tough.\nLet's face it.  These are the Majors...
