It is crystal clear that the Red Sox, their fans, their front office, and everyone associated with them get more joy out of a Yankee loss than they do a Red Sox win. Every time. Despite the 2004 championship (followed by no postseason in 2005)...

You must've missed that bit where the Red Sox were eliminated by the White Sox, who were later to win the 2005 World Series, in the ALDS.

The heart of Red Sox Nation is built upon an inferiority complex towards the Yankees, and everyone knows it.

I'm not ignoring the stats, I realize what kind of player Jacoby is, but I'm not going to call him a proven commodity. And I still believe that when they are both fully developed veterans that Melky will have more to offer. It's hard to compare because Jacoby is a small-ball leadoff guy who runs well but doesnt hit for power. Melky has more pop...

You do realize that Jacoby Ellsbury has a much higher career slugging percentage than Melky, don't you? Ellsbury even has a higher Isolated Power than Cabrera in MLB.
There really isn't any basis for alleging that Melky has more pop than Jacoby.
Aggressive? As in baserunning?
Or as in aggressively swinging at pitches outside of the strike zone?

Their both gonna be fun to watch over the course of their careers, and all we can do is see how their careers play out.

We might also avoid incorrect assertions about which of the two is better today.
