Recall the last two postseason meetings between the Sox and Yanks. Both were epic struggles between two great ball clubs. Who can forget last year? The Red Sox were only five outs away from beating the Yanks, when fans watched Grady Little allow the Yankees to torch a weary Pedro Martinez, tying the game. Red Sox fans’ misery was made complete when the overpaid Aaron Boone—or as he’s known in Boston, Aaron bleeping Boone—drilled a walk-off home...
Virtually every Parker production wants to be a musical, and Team America somehow accommodates eight songs that poke fun in the eye of the Broadway-style ballad (Kim warbles "I'm So Ronery"), the Alan Jackson inspirational anthem ("Freedom Isn't Free") and Bruckheimer's costliest epic ("I miss you/ More than Michael Bay missed the mark when he made Pearl Harbor").

To be fair, this one made Rob’s list...
...TOUGHER, RED SOX OR YANKEES FANS? I think any living Red Sox fan would have to be considered tougher just because of what they've had to grow up with and endure. That's baggage Yanks fans don't have. It's a rivalry of epic proportions in which one side hasn't really had the chance to answer the bell...
