Not that hard when your stadium seats about 35,000.

Funny how NYY have never done that. Why? 1 word: Fairweather.

Uhhhh, no. It's because Yankee Stadium seats 56,000 opposed to Fenway seating 34,000.

And this is the sixth season in a row where we have drawn more than 3,000,000 fairweather fans.

And if we seated only 34,000 we would have sold out six seasons in a row. Or something like that.

That was never in question.
You stated your question about the House that Ruth Built and you were wrong.
Isn't that right, Raider Nation? Oops, I mean that cheap knockoff, Red Sox Nation.

OMGWTFBBQWATERMELON the Red Sox won two games in a row! It's a streak, a streak I tell you!

EDIT: Yes, I realize it is actually more, but the end result will be the same.

Completely completely inaccurate.
The Red Sox have five titles.
Of course, the last was nearly ninety years ago but they?ve been in a slump.

So ninety years is a slump...

There was a saying I learned from my professor in class. "The only difference between a rut and a grave is how long you're in it."

How many games constitutes a streak again?

I stated a question now? lmao... I said that NYC has more people than Boston, so it's a crying shame that the pathetic Spankees could never muster a sellout season, even during their 26 championships. Like I said Fairweather: mental lackeys such as yourself who live in a delusional state that your most recent championships were not bought. You know the saying, you can only fool half of the people some of the time. Although it's rather surprising that out of the millions of people in NYC, George couldn't buy enough marketing to fill 55K every night. Maybe there are less fools than I thought in NY.

One that says your team has won 26 of the last 30 games.

Baseball's a mess, man. They should institute a salary cap in baseball and then it would be competitive. Right now, it's not fair. It's too unfair and that's a bad thing for the kids. What are you telling them? The guys with the most money win. That's it in a nutshell.

My other big gripe with MLB: The umpiring. Make those suckers call a ball a ball and not a strike. Again, you are poisoning the kids if you let them call a pitch 4 inches off the plate a strike. It didn't used to be that way. They should also throw out all those TV announcers who lie to cover the umps' asses. A lot of people don't mind being lied to. We don't need that.

You do realize that more people in NYC != more Yankees fans necessarily. Not everyone in NYC likes the Yankees as there is another team in NY (though I don't know why anyone would want to be a Mets fan ). Not to mention it is likely that there are those that don't even like baseball. Then you can look at the fact that in the last 4 years, the Yankees have not seen less than 3,000,000 fans walk through the gates of Yankee Stadium. That's good enough for a position in the top 3 in attendance each of those 4 years (1st in 2004 and 2003, 2nd in 2002, 3rd in 2001). So your population argument is weak at best. Ok, then you can argue that Yankee Stadium is bigger and thus can hold more fans, so let's look at average road attendance where the playing field is even so to speak. Boston: 35,418, NYY: 40,731. So the Yankees draw more fans on the road than Boston does. Not only that, the only year out of the past 4 that Boston was within 1,000 fans of NY in average road attendance is 2001 when they were 750 behind. So much for those fairweather Yankee fans huh.

Um, fairweather fans can live in any state... and considering the fact that NY is the largest city in the United States with a population of 8,008,278 people (2000 Census) of course there are going to be relatives, friends, and family of those people who live in other states. For example, my 2 best friends from college now live in Virginia and Florida, respectively. They liked NYY since growing up in the area, and even though their families have moved they are all still rabid Yankee fans. The odds of this scenario is over 10X greater due to population size than in the Boston area.

Furthermore, the fact that Boston, the 20th largest city in the US with a population of 589,141 people (cities like Milwaukee, Wisconsin and Memphis, TN have more people) can sell close to as many tix as a team that has a 16X + larger market is phenomenal. Your road attendance stats above perfectly augment the fact that Boston's fan base is almost as large as NY's on the road, despite having 1/16th of a total possible fan base that NYC has. This is nothing short of phenomenal (and we haven't even gotten into growth rates, NY has 3.61X the growth rate of Boston from 1990-2000). Yes, I can understand your argument for someone liking the Mets too, but even IF you cut the people of NYC 50/50 (NYM - NYY) the Yankees still theoretically have a fan base 8X larger than Boston's (assuming that everyone in Boston was a Red Sox fan). And we know that the NYM/NYY fan base sure as hell isn't 50/50, and not everyone in Boston is a Red Sox fan.

yeah this series is clutch though to determine the playoff picture, and the yanks have no starting pitching, I'd take Bronson over anybody on the yanks right now. Whenever i watch the yankees they never seem to play as a team, usually they seem like just a bunch of good players swinging for the fences, no real team spirit. yet over the last 30 games the sox have played more like a team than i have seen in awhile, everyone contributes, well cept McCarty, he just shouldnt play.

"And the lord said 'Go Sox'"

Ho hum another year of Red Sox hopefuls just to be dashed.

Go ask your great-great-grandparents, I bet they're tired of it.

Well it can be said that we sox fans arent fairweather fans, fanatics yes. better than being a sellout though
