Susie,
It isn't really hatred it is just that as a Sox fan, I want the Yankees to lose every game.
You confuse hatred with the desire to see a team fail.
I also want the Orioles, and Blue Jays to do the same.
I would like to see the Devil Rays come in second, to the Red Sox of course.
Now for New Yorkers, I really enjoyed the time I worked there. I enjoyed the people and the city. It is the condensending nature of Yankee fans that I dislike.
That, and the fact that they live with rose colored glasses and can't except critisism, which is exactly why I do it.
