i agree he is definitely in the top 10....and i agree fans who boo him are A-HOLES!

and yes its only april so all you yankee haters stop kissing each other!

Last I checked the games in April count in the standings. To assume every year you will be able to kick it up a notch in the second half is a sure fire method of eventually not making theplay-offs. Two years ago the Indians had a horrendous April and then caught fire but missed the play-offs by 1 game. It can happen to NY as well and might have happened last year if Boston did not utterly fall apart during/after that 6 or 7 game series with the Yankees.

I do too. I watch a lot baseball games, including a lot of Yankee games and get delight from: (1) the tribe winning; (2) braves victories; (3) my fantasy players doing well; (4) Yankee loses; and (5) Red Sox victories. In that order.

That is exactly my point, I don't know how anyone can consider a competition where one party wins 26 titles and the other wins one over a period of the life span of a good sized oak tree a rivalry at all. One side constantly has its heart broken and dreams crushed by the other and yet it is considered a rivalry. Personally I think it is closer to this type of a relationship than a rivalry.

I would like to apologize to anyone who may have been offended by the image in my previous post. I didn't find it offensive, but I'm not necessarily known for my good taste.
