Anyone can be a Yankee fan. It requires no effort or loyalty whatsoever. Your team wins a lot, and makes sure to have all the best players. That's okay, but I'd rather root for a team with some character, heart, and drive to win. It makes our season very exciting when they are doing well.

Yeah, you Red Sox fans are full of something, all right.

How about the Red Sox fan who yelled "Kill him - kill Zimmer" after Pedro knocked Zimmer to the ground? Zimmer's family, including his crying six-year-old granddaughter, were there to hear that.

Or how about the Red Sox fans who threw bottles and rocks at the Yankees' team bus last night? Or maybe those classy BoSox fans who threw trash on the field in 1999? Or the obnoxious chanting of "Rog-er" yesterday. Not to mention Pedro and Manny's psychopathic behavior.

Spare me the self-righteousness, please.

Get a life. Red Sox fans chanted "Daaaaryl" at Strawberry in 1986. And Zimmer should have thought about his grand-daughter. The old fart charges a man 40 years younger and ends up on his ass. Suits me.

Yes, and nothing like that could ever happen in NYC, especially in the Bronx.

I am hardly being self-righteous. I just think underdog teams are more fun to root for.

Go Red Sox.
