Red Sox? What was this Yankee fan to do? Let's go Mets. It's a NEW YORK thing. Is this analogous to 1986, Mets v. Red Sox? What was this Yankee fan to do? Let’s go Mets. It’s a NEW YORK thing.

I wonder if this has something to do with Georgetown. The two of us make for a small sample size, but it felt like the Boston and Philly fans there were particularly obnoxious.

The Red Sox and their fans are far higher on my "hate list" (which is an extensive list, mind you).

Come to think of it, Game 1 is on Wednesday night? I'll be seeing "Where the Wild Things Are" with the old lady. I will also silently be rooting for the aforementioned earthquake.

As I mentioned to Ted on Twitter earlier, I'm a bit peeved about this becoming a right/wrong issue. It's not so clear cut; Phillies and Yankees is about the difference between AIDS and pancreatic cancer. I blogged this: http://www.blueandorange.net/?p=758
