The Bitter Rivals Thread

[Solair Wright]

There's no way to stop those Yanks...or are there? We'll see this week, when they challenge the Rays (hey, better than Cleveland) this weekend, but first comes the Rangers, who should cool them off the red-hot Yankees eventually.

What do you say?

I'm gonna tell you a story
I'm gonna tell you about my town
I'm gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it's all about my town
Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles
(aw, that's what's happenin' baby)
That's where you'll find me
Along with lovers, muggers, and thieves
(aw, but they're cool people)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
(oh, you're the Number One place)
Frustrated women
(I mean they're frustrated)
Have to be in by twelve o'clock
(oh, that's a shame)
But I'm wishin' and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren't locked
(I like to save time for my baby to walk around)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you're my home
(oh, yeah)
Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you're my home
(oh, yeah)
Well, I love that dirty water
(I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water
(I love Baw-stun)
I love that dirty water
(Have you heard about the Strangler?)
I love that dirty water
(I'm the man, I'm the man)
I love that dirty water
(Owww!)
I love that dirty water
(Come on, come on)

...some people say they DID

Let's hope Atlanta gives the "other" New York team they're faceing tonight a boot out of Atlanta, so they can face the Mets in battered shape. How about that proposition?

[9RoyHobbsRF]

How can a team like the Red Sox be part of a great rivalry when they went what, 90 years without a championship?

And now that they have reincarnated and won 2 (!), the Yanks have not won any since then

A good rivalry would be (to me) where teams traded key championships in very near years like say the Steelers and Raiders winning 6 of 7 Super Bowls in the 70s/80s

you dont see that anywhere in the Red Sox and Yankees

it is like saying Hank and Tommie Aaron were the greatest home run brother duo in history

technically yes but the homers were all hit by one guy

It's more than that.

It's also Pats vs Jets/Giants.
Bruins vs Rangers.
Celtics vs Knicks.

Boston is about 220 miles from NY. Go to the campus of Boston U. Us MA natives don't call it "Long Island U--Boston Campus" for nothing.

My wife is from Long Island. She's a Met fan. Trust me. If she was a Yankee fan, I never would have given her the time of day.

Also there is a attitude from NYers that seems to take it to another level. We will say the Yankees Suck. they will say Boston/New England Sucks. They will attack the region as a whole, while we confine it to just the Yankees.

It is more than a rivalry..it is a way of life for some.

We've always had a soft spot for the Braves...remember where the Braves played until 1951....
