you know what, i grew up in NY, always hated the yankees, came to boston lived here for 4 years or so, and now totally a soxs fan. anyone can root for a loser team like the yankees, takes a true fan to follow a team like the soxs. an you know what, with all the "star" power that the yankees got, they are only ahead by a few games. dont worry true believers, the yankees are going to suffer the A-Rod curse. "all teams that A-Rod left, make the playoffs, while the team that has A-Rod never goes anywhere, I.E. Seattle and Texas" Go Soxs Yankees Suck
