For years Red Sox fans have had the embarrassing habit of chanting “Yankees Suck” even when playing other teams, and Yankee fans have smugly pointed and laughed.
From the Lohud Yankees Blog during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays:
The Bleacher Creatures are chanting “Boston sucks.” That makes sense. The Yankees are 0-5 against Boston [...]
Remember When We Expected the Worst?
Yes, it was an April series, but games in April count the same as they do in August. And while Yankee fans seem to be hanging their hats on A-Rod and Wang being MIA they seem to ignore that the Red Sox are currently playing with a struggling Beckett, a [...]
Poetry from Tyler Kepner:
The grand slam exploded like a gunshot Wednesday night, tearing out the guts of even the most naïve believers in the 2008 Yankees.
The eighth-inning bullet by Dustin Pedroia was like the opening scene of a documentary, many years from now, capturing the thud of finality to something once so special. The question [...]
Going into their 3 game series I heard talk of Boston burying New York, ending their playoff hopes. I wasn’t as confident. It’s not that I fear the Yankees. I’ve watched them play enough this year to know they’re a brutal team; even worse to watch. But there’s still a ton of talent on their [...]

Payton would eventually look at a third strike [...]
After Joba Chamberlain threw at Kevin Youkilis’ head for the 4th time in the past 2 seasons Terry Francona commented:
He has great command until Youk gets in there.
Joe Girardi understood why Youkilis was upset but claimed no intent and that it was unfortunate that the umpire warned both teams. Girardi contributed the fact that it [...]
The Red Sox managed to take game 3 against the Yankees to avoid a sweep. Baseball is a funny game. Your team loses one night and all you see are problems; a win the next day and everything seems brighter. So here’s 4 positive thoughts*:
The Yankees are on a role. The Red Sox have been [...]
Also tagged red soxYesterday’s 10-3 loss to the Yankees was more of the same for the Red Sox. A bullpen that threw fuel on the fire and a lineup that managed only 3 runs. The bullpen is less of a worry for me. One new arm, one old arm deciding to step up, and the problem vanishes. But [...]
