"This Yankee fan will be rooting for the Sox in the series."
You may be the lone ranger on that one. I can't picture a Yankee rooting for the Sox, ever.
Agreed. It wasn't me! (See the post 116.) I'm trying to be gracious to the Sox fans, while quietly praying for a new, more sinister disaster to await them in the WS!
A large group of my friends watched the game together tonight. We were all rooting for the Sox except for our one friend, a diehard, New York born Yankee fan.
We always tease him and he teases back. Even he said the Sox did well and there's still next year. He was very gracious. I watched game 7 of the D-backs-Yankees WS with him 3 years ago. Very cool that Curt Schilling ( my beloved ex-D-back) was there for both wins against the Yankees.
We asked him if he could root for the Sox in the WS, he thought about it a second and said, "No, I just can't!". :)
