As an Orioles die-hard who hates both the Yankees and Red Sox, I will take the Yankees 100 times out of 100 over the Faux Sox. Although I find both fan bases annoying, I have always found Yankees fans to have much more of a knowledge of both their history and overall game than "Bandwagon Nation". The Red Sox have always fashioned themselves as a working class franchise despite a consistent 100 million dollar payroll. At least the Yankees know they have an economic advantage. The Red Sox are just fake with their holier-than-thou working class/scruffy facial hair nonsense. The willing omission of "Big Roidy" and Ramirez from the Mitchell Report along with ESPN drooling over them at every turn puts it over the top for me.
