You have a complex. Yankees/Sox is harder to get into for me since the Sox have been racking up titles. Also, many of the unlikable Yankees aren't around either. Jeter is a shell of himself and almost gone. Arod not in the picture. Tex can't seem to find the field. No Posada. No Paul Oneill. No Clemens. No Pettitte. No Burnett. No Joba. There's always Cervelli I guess, but he's not even good. That, and the only bigger knobheads in baseball than Sox fans are Yankees fans. It is known.

I always enjoy watching dook lose, especially in the tournament because they are always overrated. In fact, that's what I dislike most about them at this point: the media, NCAA, and refs treatment of them.

Sorry it may have been that but not any more. Entitlement is not just coming from Papi but it dwindles down the the bandwagon of fans since the 2004 Yankee comeback. There is no comparison to Sox fans anymore, oh wait yeah there is, it's the Pats fans!;)

Maybe it's because I'm not a baseball fan, but I never really got the whole Boston-New York hatred thing. On Sundays I have no problem rooting for both the Patriot's and the Giants. I'm a Bruins fan but I rooted for the Rangers against the Canadians ( I think most Bruin fans did this). I am a Celtics fan but have rooted for the Knicks and the Nets depending on who they were playing. Hell when the Patriots and the Giants both made the Super Bowl I was in my glory. The two teams I root for every week were both in the Super Bowl. Then I had to choose between the two.

You root for both? Are you a woman?

The pink hat brigade is certainly annoying but it's not like the Red Sox have the market cornered on bandwagon fans. The Yanks have quite a few of their own. Of course with the Yankees there hasn't been much of a reason to hop on that wagon lately.

You sound a bit butthurt ma. :D

I def see some fat and happy, overly satisfied sox fans. But there is also the same miserable bunch there always was. The Pats fans are just so used to winning, that it is Super Bowl or bust every year. Same way the Yankees are actually (not lately -- but you get the point).

They are not in the same league. They are not rivals. It is like rooting for both Lehigh(my undergrad school) and UConn (my grad school). They may play but I root for both. BTW A lot of fellow UConn fans were happy when Lehigh beat Duke.

Butt hurt? Why……..not sure how that happens. I respect your point and it's fair the Yanks haven't won a lot but plenty for me over the last 20 years……recent history is not all there is for a 54 year old so 3 in 10 years doesn't impress me although they've done some wonderful things for their fans in Boston - heck I was there last night not a better venue to have fun and watch some baseball (with annoying fans)……..as Crack said the obvious "pink brigade" is annoying. I can't speak for all yankee fans but despite what others believe most suffered through mostly losing seasons at my age early and often. Not exactly bandwagon like the pinkies!!

Pink fans everywhere are tough to stomach. Though I actually think it's worse when they are your own. Seeing Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore be 'diehard' Sox fans in 2004 was nauseating. Kind of like when a bunch of d-bags find out about your favorite band and become it's "biggest fans".
 
So everyone hates Syracuse and Kentucky and Duke and a couple other random teams, but not really since we always beat them/aren't in the same league/might never play again.
If there's one thing we've lacked in our run, not that I'm complaining, it's a real, year-in-year-out rival. I can't count Syracuse. They have Georgetown. Pitt was our main rival for a while, but so was Miami.
Eh, there are worse problems to have.
 
Duke
Syracuse
BC
Notre Dame
Rutgers
Louisville
Florida
Maryland
Kentucky
Pitt

Dishonorable mentions: Georgetown, Michigan, Miami
 
Do you all remember this past year when Duke went to Syracuse and ESPN hyped it as the game of the century? The 2014 tourney was so joyous just one week in and they both crumbled to no name schools and UConn was cruisin. On full consideration, we really need to get Mercer and Dayton to play a game on national TV (and simulcast in 14 languages across the globe) next season to figure out who's the best team in the history of organized sports.

Everyone's so-called "cured " Duke hatred is only a Selection Sunday away from coming back.
We just haven't crossed paths with those " blue devils" recently. As soon as we gotta face them in an elite eight or final four and some BS takes place, we'll see
How " cured "people are of their Duke hatred. Our star player will get two immediate foul calls , a couple of bad calls here and there, we'll lose to them , Dickie V will get on TV and talk about them being the better team anyway and you'll see the difference between Duke hate and our hatred for other teams.

As far as I'm concerned, all Yankee fans in the Hartford area are pink hat fans. Growing up in the post-Mantle era I knew of exactly 1 Yankee fan. They all jumped on the bandwagon with those late-70's team with all the facial hair. And you nailed it, they are all butt-hurt. They had a feeling of superiority because their the Sox hadn't won. They thought they were winners because the Yanks were winners. After the big Yankee choke of '04 they still had a bit of fight, saying it's going be another 86 years before they win again. 2007 but the kibosh on that, they didn't even engage anymore. Now after the 2013 team, they are all just reduced to whiny mush.

As I said here's more proof……….Hartford and 1 yankee fan is funny Waq……..probably because you were already as you are now and had no friends, just a guess! Grew up 18 miles south and it was half and half so you needed a better personality growing up for sure!!

Butt hurt is funny…….since Jeter has been playing we've had plenty to make us happy so only a Sox fan would hope we're butt hurt. Last year was the first time we didn't see the playoffs in how many years? Don't think you can say the same Waq and that's all you hope for as a fan in anything, extended seasons consistently. All good here and despite your desires of "butt hurt" fans, I doubt there's many. My Yankee buddies and I didn;t see over 80 wins as a LLer and thereafter so there's a lot less bandwagon fans on our side than yours and it ain't close. Brought a guy from Maryland to the game the other night and sitting on the patio of the Cask watching the waves of people in pink he said "is there anyone over 30 that likes the Red Sox"??? Bingo……bandwagon heaven since the Yankee choke job!
 
Life-long Yankee fan. I was 8 when the Yankees won their last championship of the Mantle era and 13 when the Mick retired. Most people where I lived were Yankee fans and we remained Yankee fans through the insufferable drought of 15 years between championships
 
I enjoy mocking Syracuse, but I actually have no real animosity toward them. Right now, I hate Kentucky the most. The fans are insufferable, but not as much as their slimy coach. I loathe Duke, of course, and I've never stopped hating Boston College with a passion. I live very close to BC now, and the students are the douchiest in the greater Boston area, which is saying a lot, with BU and Harvard nearby.

1) Kentucky – Coach Cal and his 1 and dones, ESPN fawning over Coach Cal while ignoring the fact that avoided the NCAA by leaving 2 programs in shambles (UMass and Memphis), somehow a school that no one stays for more than 1 year keeps off APR violations, etc. represent everything wrong with college basketball today.

2) Duke – Because I have still not forgiven Duke for the late 1980’s and most of the 1990’s that and Coach K ability to get the zebras all of the time.

3) Louisville – Petino is just like Coach Cal, except that he insists that he is not a used car salesman. That and Louisville’s recent success is built on a lot of smoke and mirrors while their fan base, thinks they are second coming of Christ and they are not even the #1 team in their own state.

4) Syracuse – Would be higher; but, I have too many friends who went to Syracuse and too many fond memories of going to games with them and then painting the town red, win or lose, after.

Outside of college basketball

1) The Red Sox

2) The Cowboys

3) Gary Bettman

4) Bob Kraft and Bill Belichick

4) The NBA

Most over 30 Sox fans can no longer fit in Fenway's seats.

Though I don't live close, I second this. That, plus arseholes in their administration is enough to have a healthy disgust of the place. What a self-overrated school.

You have to be kidding with this, right? There are more bandwagon Red Sox fans than bandwagon fans of the Yankees? How can you even say that with a straight face? I would bet the Yankees have more bandwagon fans than just about every team in American sports.

I think you just proved my point about Yankee fans changing their tune. Ten years ago could you imagine a Yankee fan saying they were happy just watching some old codger? Back then, they would tell you it was all about rings. Nothing else mattered, they would say. Not that I'm complaining, I think it's nice.

It was never about rings, you just hate some of the tee shirts out there!

The funny thing is you saying "ten years ago"……..is that when success of a baseball team began to be measured again? How about we start from say….'96? Or maybe '75?

Too funny Waq…….Sox are better the last 10 years no doubt, but that's not when baseball started for many of us! Yankee fans are happy winning one every 5-6 years or thereabouts!

I highly doubt that…..why would you even think that? They aren't the team people love anymore they are more like the Cowboys who many once loved but now seem to despise……... ask Red Sox fans who the worlds fav baseball team is……….:oops:
 
Hats off to the long suffering Red Sox. They have 3 recent championships and are ahead of the Yankees 3 to 2 in 21st Century Championships. Good for you. It really is impressive to win 3 in 10 years.
However, In the twentieth century, we beat you 25 championships to 5.
In my life 11 to 3
During the life of a freshman at UCONN 5-3

And the Yankees won 7 Championships in ten years. It is an entirely different level of domination. And before you reach for the regular excuse, Yankees won 20 of those before free agency

Finally, 40 world series appearances compared to 12

Wow intlzncster where did you learn math? reading above you learned that I was banging the captain of the Husky volleyball team (women's ;)) and Davida was the captain of that team….of course the co-captain obviously that I wasn't banging…….nonetheless that would make him 55 or so……….old bas***d

Best part about that is I was a mathematics major.

We don't do like that.
