I'm a National League guy, but this series will once again showcase the magic of baseball in late September / October. It's incredible.
Now I understand the distate for the "Evil Empire"; everybody likes to hate on a perennial champion, especially when it has more resources at its disposal than the competition. I'm no different, however, I have grown to relish the fact that those men in pinstripes are always standing stubbornly in the Road to Gloryland, looming like a big dark thunderhead threatening to spoil somebody's day in the sun. And here they are again, when not so long ago, reaching the postseason looked less than likely for the Boss.
As an Ohioan, even though I'm a Reds fan, my only vested interest is in seeing the Tribe snag the wildcard. So that, coupled with the fact that I actually hate the Red Sox more than the Yankees, I'll be pulling for New York to go into Fenway and make like miserable for the Chowderheads.
Okay, there's the shot over the bow, Sox fan. Now it's your turn:
Go.
