A Big Apple newspaper has plunked a Doodle of a New York Yankees ad smack inside the pages of the Herald, a foray into enemy territory that will only rile the red-blooded denizens of Red Sox Nation. (http://news.bostonherald.com/localRegional/view.bg?articleid=36799)

I absolutely cannot believe that the Herald allowed that ad to be placed. Cannot believe it. If I were a Red Sox fan, I'd boycott the paper. Stirring the pot when the Yankees came to town.

I think that when you look at the past positions with other organizations, public statements, and actions of the ownership group it paints an extremely unflattering picture of the hand Red Sox fans have been dealt once again.

Essentially, they're turds.

I don't think anybody has or should say that. This is the MAIN rivalry for the Yankees and we certainly do care very much about it. I think the argument that was being made on the board (which I didn't agree with) is that it isn't a real rivalry because of the lopsided results, and that it's only a rivalry to the fans. It didn't make sense to me, but it's certainly a different argument than you imply in your post.

As for the Daily News's picture, well, hee! They certainly love that drawing, since as far as I know, this is the third time they've whipped it out in under a year. They had it in the paper (not in color, though) the day after Game 7 last year (which is the one I have on my wall), they had it in the paper (in color) during the last Red Sox/Yankees game that took place in the Stadium (and told people to bring it to the game; I think they were used to count strike-outs), and now this. I don't know if it's in the Daily News today since I haven't picked it up yet but if it is, hee again.

Hmmm... weird. I think people in general just think locally, you know. But baseball is the thing that ties these two cities together. Otherwise, it'd be just another city.

You're right. Overconfidence makes me extremely nervous. But at least I know it's overconfidence on the fans part - and the media which just panders to fans. The players themselves, I believe and hope, would be smarter than that.

Well, the Red Sox manager has not yet "resigned" after drunkenly calling a star player a born liar, and an owner a convicted liar. And as far as I know, the Boston newspapers are not going on strike anytime soon. So I think the comparison only goes so far. ;)

As a matter of fact the Yanks never "choked up" a 9 game lead. Ever.

It must suck to play for the wildcard year after year after year. To me, that would tarnish a champinship season. I know, we did it in 1997, but somehow I felt it wasn't as rewarding as when we won the division every other year.
