Oh the irony - you talk about Yankee fans not taking it well? Who dubbed the phrase "evil empire" and complained for EIGHTY SIX years about how evil and mean and nasty the yankees were....
The Sox aren't some low payroll bunch of kids who won by just playing "the game the way it should be played" - they are just a bunch of sluggers with significantly better pitching than the Cardinals. They aren't some miracle team - they have the 2nd highest payroll in baseball by ~20 million as I recall. I would hope they could beat the cards - they spent 20+ (maybe 30+, can't recall exactly) million more than we did.
See above post for more info on the "heart and soul" of the Sox.
