Yankees average a world series win every 4 years?

Red Sox average a world series every 15? With an 86 year drought?

This rivalry only stems from "Sox Nation" cause its clear who has the superior history.

Maybe the rivalry stems from the fact that one team had a meteoric rise and toppled the giant, and since then they've been at eachother's necks with close competition.
What you're suggesting is similar to the United States declaring that the Soviet Union wasn't a rival during the cold war, because the U.S. had been around for almost 200 years by that point, and the S.U., only a few decades.

But you're probably too young too have learned about that, either.

In 1913, the team changed its name to the Yankees.From 1921 to 1964, the Yankees were the most successful MLB franchise, winning 20 World Series titles and 29 AL pennants.

After the move from Buffalo to Boston, they became a dominant team-- defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first World Series in 1903. They won four more championships by 1918, and then went into one of the longest championship droughts in baseball history.

A few good years followed by 86 years of fail? lulz

What exactly about this directly contradicts the elements of a good rivalry?

You have to be competition to be a rivalry.

ITT: Butthurt yankeefags trying to compensate for having a shitty non-playoff caliber team by saying there is no rivalry.

You fuckers KNOW there is a rivalry. While I agree that the media blows it well out of proportion, you still can't deny the fact that Sox and Yankee fans HATE each other. It's more about geography than history anyway.

Boston is an inferior city to New York in every way.

And recently, they have been competing. Why would anybody question the presence of a rivalry based on the fact that at one point, there wasn't one? The Yankees don't hit the showers after a loss to the Red Sox and say, "It's okay, we've got 70 seasons of good baseball more than them."

Boston will soon fall off the radar again and be a non factor.

Again, not a legitimate argument against the existence of a rivalry.

So...you know what to do. 18 - 1 away. It's all most of this board is good for.

Boston definately has a pussy and not a dick. What else but a vagina could bleed that many seasons in a row?
What else could you expect of a city that blamed Bill Buckner for losing the World Series, when they lost game 7 themselves? Cubsfans x2

The only people who blame buckner are retards. Without him in the lineup, the redsox wouldn't even have made it to the WS. I have always felt that way.

I feel so bad for bill. Fucking turned him into a recluse.
