Yes, we're proud of you for being a fan of a good team and a good rivalry. Glad its fun for you. Luckily my team is in the West where I can watch them suck without feeling like I don't have a chance for legitimate reasons. Its pretty even market wise across the board in the AL West...other than Oakland who has a disadvantage in the money department.
...otherwise I'd have probably stopped following long ago. I don't know how Blue Jays, Orioles and Rays fans can stomach it, quite frankly. But at least its fun every year for the markets that have the most population and bandwagon fans from out of market.
If the NFL totally throws out the salary cap or any other controls on monopolizing the most talented players, you'd see the most epic rivalry in all of sports after about 10 or 20 years. It would include New York, New England, or Chicago. But they don't allow that. So we have MLB's Bosox/Yankees.

Jays fan here. I just do my best to ignore it. TBQH this rivalry has become a complete yawner to me. The reason is simple: too much of a good thing is not good. I'm sick of hearing about the Yankees and the Red Sox. It gets extremely tedious after a while. There are 28 other teams in baseball, but just like in Animal Farm: All the teams are equal, but some are more equal than others. I want to see all 30 teams covered in a more balanced way, rather than two waaay up on a pedestal, and the rest of the plebes. It's sad really.
