It seems unlikely that Boston can take the AL East at this point, and in fact are more likely to lose out of the playoffs entirely than the former. So, do you bite the bullet and root root root for the hated Yankees, or does your destestation seep so deeply you'd sooner cut your noses off to spite your face?

Hey, I'm not tweaking you just to get a rise . . . well, maybe a little . . . but am genuinely curious to know.

I will cheer for any team but the Yankees. Not sure who I despise more, the Yankees or the Jets.
