Let it be stated for the record that as this blog commences, the Yanks stand 1.5 games in front of the Sox.

Steinbrenner issuing a statement that the Red Sox “haven’t won anything yet”? Please. Does he realize that if the Red Sox actually win the World Series, us diehard Sox fans STILL won’t think we’ve won anything yet? We’ll be waiting for Bud Selig to issue some sort of ridiculous proclamation that the Series didn’t count, that Pedro, Derek, and BK were all on Human Growth Hormone or something and therefore ineligible. For some reason I picture Steinbrenner down in Ft. Lauderdale, sitting in a recliner in khaki shorts, tube socks, sneakers, and a tank top, watching DirecTV with no air conditioning running, ranting at the screen like some sort of retirement home lunatic…

This blog represents a running debate on the history and current state of the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, along with other baseball-related miscellany.
