Are there any Yankees fans in this place?

I am a fan and have been since i can remember. I dont live in new york (although my grandparents live in albany but that really doesnt matter) but does that make me any less of a fan?

Dala- Not implying that you werent a real fan nor that you have to be a "New Yawker" like my friend Gales. I know you like the Yankees. Thats cool. I love the Red Sox and I have never lived in Massachusetts. As my wife would attest, I am pretty neurotic about the Sox and their losses can sometimes bring about negative mood swings.

I dont see where you live mattering which team you root for.

i know what you mean. I have seen a ton of freshly minted sox fans in the last couple of years thats for sure.

It should be an interesting end to the season. Yanks finished a soft spot of their schedule. I was surprised boston didnt add a bigger bat for the stretch run. Still time.

They have the talent, just going through a slump at the plate. Yankees are clearly the best team in the AL as is the Phillies in the NL. The Sox need to just make it in and they instantly be one of the favorites too, along with the Yanks, who are a lock to make it in as are the Phillies.

I've loved the Red Sox all my life and hung through some tragic beats. I have to say losing to the Rays in Game 7 last year was one of the toughest. They looked so out of the series after playing horrible in games 3 and 4, then miraculously won games 5 and 6 only to get beat in Game 7. Being that close to a try at their 3rd title in 5 years is heartbreaking. 1986 was awful but I was at the age (16) where other things mattered more.

Yup, going to be a fantastic finish. One of my favorite sports time of year is late Aug/early Sep...pennant races materialize, last week of Saratoga, the start of Belmont, and the US Open in tennis.

The Boston Massacare Part II has just eneded

Mark Texiera is an offical difference maker , he did it last night on the big stage -----now i can only hope Uncle Joe gets to the Bronx in Oct ....Yanks/Dodgers would help rev up the game after all these steroid lists have come out

Won't be easy yanks will have to contend w/ w sox tigers ray and angels

LA - Philly to deal with as well as the cubs/cards , maybe even giants or marlins
