I am a Red Sox fan. I won't deny there's an inferiority complex involved, but after beating the Yankees in the '04 ALCS, it was more of a stick-it-to-them attitude, especially after hearing that "1918" chant for so long. A lot of it is just talk, as many of us (though not all) were on the Yankee bandwagon in '01.
As for game lengths, I enjoy those Yankee/Red Sox games, but good lord, I have over 100 channels, and unless it's a post-season game, I have a hard time sitting through nine-plus innings without grabbing the remote!
