I haven't mentioned my beloved Red Sox yet this year; as I type
they're tied with the Yankees for last place in the AL East. I suppose
it's unlikely either team will stay there.
But I'm not a Yankee-hater. Just One Minute has a great post pointing out a kind of sweet NYT story about Joe Torre calling Tim Wakefield after the Sox won the ALCS last year.
On the Yankee-hating issue: Soxblog calls the Yankees "annoyingly classy" for their behavior at Fenway's home opener. But Jonathan Last isn't fooled, and has a lengthy quote from Tom Boswell as to why you shouldn't be either.
But, God help me, I find myself sometimes kind of liking Hideki Matsui. Must … resist …
