I understand most of Boston's players come from somewhere else....BUT, no one has to do anything special to BECOME a member of the Red Sox.

The Yankees are a team of mercenaries and yet they have this elitist attitude that you have to BECOME a Yankee when in all actuality: Dimaggio, Mantle, Ruth, Mattingly, Rizzuto, Berra, etc never BECAME Yankees they just were Yankees as soon as they put the uniform on......but A-Rod has to accomplish something to be accepted and that my friend is gay!

I'd be pretty damn pissed if I was A-Rod....become a yankee my a** I'd be on the first bus outta there the dude has only hit homeruns and played a good third base.....but apparently it's not enough to be a Yankee.....maybe he should wear a special uniform that says "Yankee in training".


The Yankees suck and I hate them with every fiber of my being
Yea you know why Cause very few give a fuk about underachiveing... Thats what is synonmous with the Red Sox, if you won 27championships and countless pennants and were winners than there would be a higher standard. But you didnt, the Yankees upstage you just about every single year so you always have the same view THE a** END.. Plus our market is different we are the media capital and hotspot in the US for the most part.. All the guys you mentioned came up John Holmes big when needed and when it was important
Ruth
Jackson
Gherig
Mantle
Jeter
Williams
Clemens
Mattingly
Etc


Although I dont agree with the fan treatment of Rodriguez. I can see were the expectation would be there for some.....
