I am a lifelong Yankee fan due to a long familial history in New York. Now I am back in New England living with a man who, if he had to choose between his parents and the Red Sox, would have a hard time doing the right thing.

A life long Yankee fan dont just change because their husband likes the Red Sox. If you can stop rooting for the Yankees, and start rooting for the Sox, Yankee fans wouldn't need you anyway.
Thats not a very good argument for anything trying to prove the Yankees ruined baseball. The Yankees might be the highest paid, but they have something that all teams have, except other teams dont know how to use it. its called teamwork. The Sox may be a closer group now, but I remember just a couple of seasons ago, it was a 25 man, 25 cab routine. and 6 of the guys on those teams are still there. I credit Grady Little, he may look like a high school principle, and talk like Forrest Gump, but what he did with that clubhouse is a tremendous accomplishment.
Do I think the Sox are better than the Yankees when compared on paper side by side, YES, I DO, but the Sox dont have the heart of a champion.. They can Cowboy Up all the way to ALCS, but they dont have what it takes to beat what the Yankees have, and thats experience, knowledge, and most of all, mistique
