What is the biggest crosstown/state rivalry in Baseball?

[xcantgobackx]

So with the Phillies advancing tonight, I'm seeing a bunch of my Mets fan friends on Facebook making status updates like "What am I going to do? I can't root for the Yankees, but I don't want to see Phillies win either."

Edit: I know the Yankees haven't advanced. Their words, not mine.

So I ask, which team's fans hate their crosstown rivals more than the Mets fans hate the Yankees? Are there any that are even come close?

I don't want this to become a big argument as to why who hates who. I just want to see other people's opinions. Maybe some from other parts of the country. I really think the Mets might be the only team to have a majority of their fans hate their crosstown rival (whom they play a whopping 6 times a year) as much as, if not more than their division rival.

i'd have to go with the Mets/Yankees for the reason that the METS have always taken a back seat to the yankees. Their each fighting for the backpage of the NY POST / Times. Biggest media market in the world and the fans of each team hate the other. In NYC the yankees are looked at as the prodical son and the mets are the red headed un athletic step child.

BTW- what a possible HORRIBLE world series to watch for METS fans. The Phillies, who have talked trash, embarrassed them and pretty much control the division now and possibly the yankees. I would not be surprised if mets fans just rented a bunch of dvds during world series week.

Dodgers/Giants is hands down the biggest state rivalry. It was that way in NY and it's the same in Ca.
