No, the exact opposite is true.


I will agree to disagree. Maybe we have had different Yankee/Boston experiences.

Papelbon's pregnant wife receives death threats from NY fans
Jonathan Papelbon

Jonathan Papelbon paid a steep price for daring to suggest he was a worthy choice to close Tuesday night's All-Star Game, even though he made it clear in a mass interview session Monday that he was prepared to defer to Mariano Rivera, then told the Globe, "Mariano Rivera will be closing the 2008 All-Star Game in Yankee Stadium. I'm making a statement right now, saying I don't want it, I want him to have it. I said all that earlier, but that's the way I feel about it."

The back page of Tuesday's New York Daily News ran a full-page photo of Papelbon, accompanied by the headline "Papelbum." Then, during Tuesday afternoon's red-carpet ride down the Avenue of the Americas, Papelbon was on the receiving end of some rough treatment from the crowd lining the boulevard.

"Brutal," he said of the coverage. "They missed the point I was trying to make. What kind of closer would I be if I didn't want to close? But I said I was willing to step aside.''

The Philadelphia Daily News reported Papelbon's pregnant wife, Ashley, received death threats during the parade.

"The whole shebang was messed up. My wife was really upset. We got threats, everything. I wish I hadn't taken her,'' Paperlbon, said.

All of the Sox were booed. "I learned two things," manager Terry Francona said of the parade. "They want Rivera to pitch, and I [stink]."
But around town, it was well known...when they got home at night
Their fat and psychopathic wives
Would thrash them within inches of their lives!

I will admit that death threats are way out of line, and NY fans were out of line with that. I respect Papelbon for stepping aside, especially for a player on a rival team. While I still wish my team will whip his team's ass, I respect him as a human being.

They just dig their hole deeper. People don't even have to say WHY they hate the Yankees, their actions pretty much speak for them. They just keep giving people reasons to hate them. :roll:
