I am friends with a few Yankees fans (this is CT, remember), but they are baseball fans first, so they have a lot of respect for my predicament. They are very respectful, and they give credit where credit is due. I try to do likewise.
Actually, one of my closest friends is a Yankees fan, and we have been watching the games together for the most part (with about 4 other Sox fans). Even though he he loves the Yankees, he would love to see the Sox finally win a WS... "as long as they don't have to go through the Yankees to do it." Now that is a real BASEBALL fan.
I just want to end this post by giving it up for the Sox bullpen: 8 innings last night, no earned runs, 10 strikeouts! Incredible.
Houston/St. Louis game wasn't too bad either

While it is highly out of character for a Yankees fan to say this, I'd like to see Boston win it all...just not against the Yankees. If NY wasn't in the playoffs, I'd be rooting for the Sox. Wade Boggs was my other favorite player growing up...kind of confusing to a lot of Yankees fans, and Sox fans. But I'll always have pinstriped blood first, no matter what.
So I totally understand where your friend is coming from...I just wished they'd get some damn haircuts, they'rte starting to look a little lady-like...
