Sox/Yankees

The Red Sox are the only team that could turn a ring ceremony into a controversy. Some Sox front office people don't want to offend the Yankees by having a ceremony when the Yanks are in town. Red Sox fans obviosly want to gloat as much as possible. For a good perspective on the ring thing and other Red Sox issues go to BostonDirtDogs.com.

I'm not in midseason form yet for the Sox, but there are some things I need to go over.
  • Boston fans need to develop a good general chant to replace the 1918 chant. I wrote about this in November if you want to check my archives.
  • From now on, A-Rod should now be called Slappy Rodriguez.
  • If it looks like the Sox are about to lose, Fenway should just play footage of the 2004 playoffs. The fans will instantly cheer up and if the Yankees are in town Jeter will start to cry.
  • Fans should be tougher on Sheffield rather than Giambi because at least Giambi is honest under oath.

Boston's obsession with A-Rod. He's been a media darling who could do no wrong. Now we see he's not so perfect. The fight he had with Varitek was 100% his fault, but because he was A-Rod the national media blamed the Sox. I could go into more detail on this one. Also, his slap basically symbolized the entire Yankee choke. One more thing about the Sox commenting on A-Rod. This is basically the 1st spring training where there is a ton of New York media at Red Sox camp constantly asking players about A-Rod etc. All the headlines we're seeing is on the New York papers not the Boston papers, so is it a Boston obsession or a New York obsession?
