MLB Standings update for Yankee fans...
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/standings

I would like the record to clearly show that the Boston Red Sox are once again in first place of the American League East.

Also for the record, this idiotic posting would not have been made necessary if not for the ludicrous post the other day by a Yankee fan making the same point when NY was in first place briefly. I know it's going back and forth all year, and keep your pithy "1918" comments to yourselves.

1. Red Sox - Yankees
The Red Sox won 5 World Series Championships prior to the Yankees winning their first title in 1923. The "standings" since?

Red Sox = 0 championships
Yankees = 26 championships

But, sure, Yankee fans are likely to be upset because Boston is in first place in May (like every season).

4. Couldn't say it any better
I always say (it's not that funny or clever) that the Red Sox play like champions until Labor Day then think that's when the season's over and they go home.

5. ha ha ha - i'm that idiotic poster you so snidely refer to
Usually I wouldn't bother with this, but I felt it necessary to point out that the only reason the Sox are in first is because they've played one more game than the Yanks; they're a 1/2 game up.

When the Sox actually win when it counts, then you've got free reign to rub it in. Until then, you've got nothing and you know it. And it goes without saying that we Yankee fans don't need "1918" when we can chant "Game 7".

7. There's a reason NY is the most hated city in America
and you guys are showing it.

I'm lifelong, diehard, Red Sox Nation and you can all
take your 20 rings and shove 'em up your ass.

You fucks make me ashamed to be a Dem.

Aren't we supposed to be on the same side here?
Trust NY to bring the hate.

What happened to enjoying a good game?

It's possible to be rivals without the hate
you guys bring. My whole life, every kid from NY
would try to make himself feel better by pointing
at the Red Sox.

Sorry, NY, you mock my grandpa, you mock me.

Why is it that you pukes feel the need
to lord it over the rest of us?

So the money in your city has enabled
the scum that have owned your team to buy
a large number of championships.

I should be impressed because you live in a place
with a lot of people and a lot of TV money?

Please.

Some day will be our day, and on that day,
I will be making sure not to act like you.

9. "Ashamed to be a DEM" because some of us root
for the Yankees?! Sorry buddy but politics has nothing to do with what baseball team some of us root for.

Just a bit bitter, huh?!
