Who are better Red Sox or dodgers?

The Yankees are the best team history wise and are slowly gaining back their reputation. They have had a rough start the past years but they are slowly making a comeback. Red Sox have very little history on competing Yankees when it comes to winning world championships, as they only have 7 world series cups while the Yankees have over 26. Yes, they have 26. The sad thing is, is that because the Red Sox can't hold a candle to Yankee's history, Red Sox fans will edit questions like these (and I am predicting that this will be edited in the next hour) with sayings like "YANKEES SUX GO RED SOX!!!!!!!111". Facts are facts Red Sox fans, get over it and leave it be.
