If by Yankees you mean baseball, then we agree.

As opposed to the tragedy that was this year's

Fact of the matter is that hating these Yankees is
just an outward result of your own overinflated and
dashed hopes for the Red Sox to break the curse.

You don't have to like the Yankees, but hating this
group is just being petty and spiteful.

It is a well-run organization with quality ball
players
and human beings.

Compare that to the Red Sox which has far more selfish
and underachieving pine riders and as far as 
management, it is truly a group that have no sense
of themselves.  Duquette siding with players over 
his then coach whom it was apparent to me would rather
leave the sox to be an assistant under Cox in Atlanta
regardless of team records.

The Red Sox are a miserable organization with even
more miserable fans who secretly revel in their 
despair.

And no, I am not a Yankees fan, nor am I a baseball
fan.

What I am is a Red Sox hater.  Why?  Because they
still have a brainwashed percentage of New England
that will keep watching them despite what a joke
they are.

I can't wait for those people to die so that Red Sox
baseball can be sent to FSNE and the back pages of
the Globe where it belongs.
