Red Sox v Yankees, Still the Best Rivalry

Red Sox vs Yankees hasn't had the luster around here of late like the Bruins/Canadiens, Patriots/Jets or even Celtics/Lakers but it will always be the best rivalry in Boston, maybe even all of sports. The season can drag watching 162 games over the course of 7 months but there's always something about this series that gets me pumped up. Doesn't matter how good or bad either team is doing when they meet, it will always be a game you need to be in front of your TV to watch.

In any given season there are players on both teams that fans can not stand and there's some that will always earn respect even in the rivaled uniform. In my life time I've always hated Yankee punks like Paul O'Neill, Scott Brosius, Jorge Posada and ARod. The Sox that I love like Kevin Youkilis, Dustin Pedroia, Jon Lester, Mike Greenwell, Pedro Martinez and Mo Vaughn are just as hated by the Yanks fans.

You never know what's going to happen. There could be an all out brawl after Joba Chamberlain throws at Youkilis's head again or ARod and Jason Varitek have words for each other. There could be a one hit gem thrown like Pedro or Mike Mussina did. I'm sure we'll see a walk off hit in this series like we have many times. All I know is I'll be watching and I'll be doing so for about 4 hours since that's about how long the games take on average. Get your popcorn ready!!
