While the (admittedly much deserved) "Yankees Suck" chants were pretty solid tonight, all in all the rivalry has definitely been pretty weak the last 5 years or so. I say this living on one side, and having grown up and still going home to the other side.
I thought that hatred of the Yankees is still a common bond between Mets and Sox fans. I mean, since 2004 all that happened in 1986 is water under the bridge.

Just the Sox's way
of apologizing to Sale for the lack of run support for him last year.
Yankees fan in Boston here
and was at the game.

Interesting stat
On tv last nite they said the 2 teams are 19-19 over the past 2 years.
Admitedly, without the personalities like Jeter, Posada, Pedroia and Papi in the lineup, it was kinda shirts v. Shirts last nite.
Don't get cocky sox fans ( myself included), reversion to the mean is a poweful force.
But it is a fun start (allows self a small sox fan smile).
There are still Sox fans that think this start means
we could go 161-1.
That's absurd
We're 9-1. If you extrapolate, we would go 146-16 not 161-1.
Come on, let's not be silly.
Says the
New Yorker!
Hah, the joke's on you, bub
Because even when I was a New Yorker, I was a Mets fan! Ed Kranepool 4eva!
The Mets?
Uh ... Game 6, anyone?
Yeah, but ...
The key point is that the only people who hated the Yankees as much as Sox fans were Mets fans.
Were?

Just wondering...
Would that be water under the Whitestone or water under the Tobin?
My Met fan friends
hate the Yankees as much as anyone in Boston, but there are still two things you shouldn't mention to a real Red Sox fan - Game 6, and Bucky F. Dent.
True
Which, since I long ago converted to Soxism, I don't.
