So I was just watching the opening ceremony of tonight's MLB All-Star game and I have to admit it was very well done. I always appreciate seeing a collection of all-time greats brought together in any sport. Big George didn't look too great however. I get the feeling that the sobbing he was doing isn't exclusive to the emotions the game tonight. I imagine the same look is on his face when it's time to change his diaper these days. But I digress...While watching the player introductions I couldn't help but notice the lack of love shown by the Yankees fans to our Red Sox players and coaches. I'm almost positive that they weren't yelling YOOOUKK and DREWWWW. Look I get it. We'd be doing the same thing if the game was at Fenway tonight. Of course I expected the boos, but these were some serious, heartfelt BOOS coming from our less intelligent adversaries to the south. Think way way back to like 2003 for a moment. Whenever there would be discussion of the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry you would always here - It's only the Red Sox fans who consider it a rivalry, Yankees fans don't care about the Red Sox or their fans. Many felt as if Boston fans created the rivalry because we were the envious ones who always wanted to beat the Yankees. They'd say you can't have a rivalry if it's one-sided. Well, I'd say those days are officially over. It's amazing what winning two World Series championships and saddling the Yankees with the worst playoff collapse is American sports history will do to the fragile psyche of a fan base. Watch out Sox fans - I think we have a rivalry on our hands!
