H8 Being a Yankees Fan?

The Boston Red Sox have had an interesting season thus far. David Ortiz has taken forever to get into the swing of things, their starting pitching has been off and on, and they have a pretty good winning streak over a certain team.

In fact, the New York Yankees haven't beaten the BoSox since the first game of a double header at Fenway on September 28th of last season! The Sox have taken the first 8 games of this season, and the final game of last season. I'm proud to say that I've been present for 2 of the 9 total wins over the Evil Empire. I was at the 2nd game of that double header in the rain, and was at Fenway again to see Jacoby Ellsbury steal home.

Red Sox fans have waited a long time to see their team put such a beating on the Yanks. The last time the Sox won 8 in a row over the NYY was back in 1912 when Fenway Park was brand new. Boston also added a shiny World Series trophy to their collection that year. Maybe it's a sign of things to come? I guess we'll have to wait and see. The rivalry doesn't start up again until August! Hopefully Red Sox Nation can go that long without chanting at A-Rod.
