Last night was the first night of the four-game Yankees-Red Sox series. Aren't you excited!?!?!?!
Of course the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry is a bit over hyped. I don't care about it at all. These teams play, like, 19 times this year so it isn't like it is that special of an event. Also, coming into last night, Boston had beaten New York eight times in the eight games they played thus far in the season ... yet the Yankees still held the lead in the AL East standings. So how important is it really?
Yeah, ESPN is a bit to blame for this. They are equidistant from the Big Apple and Beantown and I can understand them getting a bit caught up in the local hype. But it isn't all their fault. FOX will televise their games anytime they get a chance. Other sports outlets will make it a prime story. Of course we all care about anything coming out of New York, right?
And nothing is better than hearing about two franchises who have been stained with the Roid Scandal over the past couple of years.
I can't wait for the weekend to be over so we can hear about the next time these two will match up and over analyse that, too.
