I just wish they would do more soccer. All you ever get is crap MLS and the occasional Champions league game. Even if you get Setanta or Fox Soccer you really don't get that much selection.

I know a lot of people watch the games (I don't personally). They have only won 1 world series between them in the last 6 years. In that time, you've had 2 teams out west win, 2 central teams, a team with no fan support whatsoever and the Red Sox.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'd like to know when the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry became really big. I know they've been rivals all these years, but it didn't seem to take on this much hype 10 years ago.
