Bastard
You guys won 4 games last year in the ALCS. Big fuckin deal. See how the Yanks didn't bunt on Schilling when he had that bloody ankle? That's because the Yanks have what Boston doesn't - dignity and class. Doing the right things as role models for our kids.
Shouldn't you be happier about the World Series? Why don't you Boston fans ever talk about beating St. Louis? Boston is living in the Yankees shadow forever, you guys are neurotic losers.
PS - although you say you don't want to talk about the past, here's reality, have a taste:
1919 - 2003 - 86 years of failure
1978 - Yankees were 14 1/2 games behind them in August 78, they came back and Bucky smashes one over the monster, to silence the Red Sox hopes.
1979-85 - more failure
1986 - Red Sox were one out away from winning the series in 86 and Billy Buckner drops it.
1987-03 again with more failure
And although you beat our asses in 04 (which is the past I see you're living in), we drove a stake through your heart in 03 when Boone crushed it into the upper deck. Boston was the better team last year, they won. But don't be trying to rewrite Boston as the greatest team of all time when they're a simple bunch of no class bums.
We still got our 26 rings, we ain't goin nowhere.
PS - half my family is Boston fans, the rivalry is great, but dont' get too far ahead of yourself...
