Team of the Decade

Obviously I'm heavily biased since I'm a Yankees fan. But this seems pretty black and white to me.

2000-2009:
Red Sox: 2 World Series titles, 2 league titles, 1 division title, 920 wins, .568 winning percentage
Yankees: 2 World Series titles, 4 league titles, 8 division titles, 965 wins, .597 winning percentage.
Head to Head, Yankees +14 (only once in all 10 years did Boston win the season series) 

Throw in one inexplicable Mariano-not-being-Mariano moment and David Wells' fatback, and the WS titles would be four. But that's just me being a whiny Yankees douchebag.

But even with the numbers as they really are, I'd like to hear a pro-Sox argument here.

"They finally won after 86 years and everybody was rooting for them."

Yes, I know; that's the best they can come up with.

Btw, your boy--heh, heh--Ari Fleischer has finally figured it out: GOP administrations are bad for the Yankees (and the rest of us, too.)
