I could never root for the Yankees but I could rationalize their winning as a good thing for the Sox. Mainly, so I can live with the reality and the preening.
If the Yankees win the WS, they will come back next year all puffed up and cocky (even more than usual). It is then that the Sox are at an advantage. A false sense of superiority is what did the Yankees in before. It could work again.
A friend of mine said once (though he was talking about the corporate ladder): "The higher up you are, the closer you are to the door." And isn't that what happened to the Celts last season? When you're #1, everyone is gunning for you.
So, root for the Phillies but also know that if the Yankees win, it could be their undoing next season.
