I admit it, they have a good team, and in fact the best team that money can buy. However, I don't think that us Red Sox fans can really complain about the money factor. We have the second highest payroll in baseball, granted its about 80 million short of the Evil Empire, Its like Dunkin Donuts complaining that there is a Starbuck's on every corner.
Besides despite the difference in money, I think we have a better ball club. The Yankees are a team of individuals; they have a lot of super stars and no team chemistry. A-Rod and Jeter don't like each other, and it is only of matter of time before that blows up and A-Rod is playing Short again. The Red Sox have chemistry, they have fun when they are out there, when is the last time you saw all the Yankees, in regular season play, jumping up and down at home plate after a spectacular 12th inning home run? It just doesn't happen down there, I don't know whether it is Steinbrenner running things or just the players lack of love for their uniform and fans, but everything is too serious in the Bronx.
The Sox love this city and its fans, not necessarily its press, but 2 out of 3 isn't bad. They play for each other as well as the fans, and this is why I think the Sox are a better team than the Evil Empire.
