Oh my. If there’s a more storied rivalry in baseball (other than Dodgers-Giants) I can’t imagine it. The Sox have finished second to the Yankees in their division each of the past six years. Pedro Martinez against Roger Clemens, Part II. I can’t wait.
Update: I don’t believe it. First the Cubs get within five outs in Game Six and lose, and now the Red Sox do the same thing? There’s no room in baseball for sentimental favorites, I guess.
I’m going off to rend garments and gnash teeth.
