Author is delusional if he thinks that this year will be any different from the last 89, but he is right about one thing: Boston truely does suck.
Let's go Yankees.

AL East is a joke this year.

I wish Clinton was still in office. Maybe he could go after the Yankees like he did Microsoft and Phillip Morris and try to put them out of business too.

Eight years later, as a college student in Baltimore, I watched the sixth game of the World Series between the Sox and Cincinnati Reds at the school's bar. When Carlton Fisk won that game with a foul-pole homer, the Rathskellar fell sullenly silent, since so many of the students hailed from New York. I collected about $50 on bets and took a powder. Yeah, nice homer. I forget, who ended up winning that Series again?

When [Roger Clemens] beaned the Mets' Mike Piazza and didn't even apologize, I was disgusted.

When I moved to Massachusetts, it amazed me how many people I saw walking around wearing Yankees gear. I thought that was supposed to be illegal or something. There's even a station in Worcester that carries Yankee games. Just goes to show you that there are frontrunners everywhere.

So, I'll address you as a baseball fan. You're a idiot!

Ah, baseball season, and the trash-talking begins. My Boston colleague tells me they're selling seats at the TOP of the Green Monster this year, which might be pretty cool...gotta find an excuse to make a trip on the boss's dime...
Decorum does differ throughout the league - they won't even let me wear a "Yankees Suck" T-shirt into Safeco...but it is nice to see the occasional east-coast boor tossed for obscenities...

The most dramatic Yankees - Red Sox game from my childhood was not the 1978 playoff game in Boston.
It was a regular season game in August or September of 1977, in which Ed Figueroa of New York and Reggie Cleveland of Boston both pitched eight innings of shutout ball. Figueroa put the Sox down in the top of the ninth, and after Thurman Munson led off the ninth with a single, Reggie Jackson got a hold of a 3-2 pitch that was practically in the dirt, and hit a long home run into the right-centerfield bleachers.
Players who reminisce about that game years later all remember Reggie Cleveland standing on the mound staring out toward the bleachers long after all the other Boston players had left the field.
Reggie Jackson was not always one of the fan favorites in New York, but he always had a way of coming up big in those situations. Watching balls race into a cool autumn New York night off that black bat of his was one of those things that sent chills through a kid in the late 1970s.
