The Yankees/Sox thing also has to do with the fact that Red Sox fans hate the Yankees because the Sox went 86 years without a championship while the Yankees were in contention nearly every year (in fact, holding the American record for most championshps in any professional sport). The Yankees did so primarily by spending exorbitant amounts of money on free agents, effectively crippling smaller-market teams (which is why everybody else hates the Yankees), basically buying an all-star team every year to contend.
However, once the Sox finally overcame the Yankees a few years back they became the Yankees' equals in many ways, including the use of free agency and trades to bring in star after star in an effort to contend.
Punk's comment was also referring to the fact that while the Sox hate the Yankees they, in many ways, have become the Yankees over the last several years.
