Is That a Shark Below Us?
0 Comments Published by Andrew Johnson April 14th, 2008 in Fans, Yankees, Red SoxWhy yes it is New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. I realize it’s trite to say this, but Sunday night might have officially been the night the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry jumped the shark.

Wait a Minute - the Yankees Do Something Right?!?
1 Comment Published by Andrew Johnson March 19th, 2008 in Yankees, non-baseball relatedWe aren’t in the habit of giving the Yankees (as an organization) a whole lot of credit around these parts.

Clay vs. Joba: A Final Reckoning
9 Comments Published by Andrew Johnson February 28th, 2008 in Prospects, Yankees, Red SoxMaybe it’s the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry, but the burning question out of this prospect season seems to be which pitcher is better — Clay Buchholz or Joba Chamberlain? Sure, I think it’s partly the rivalry, but mostly I think it’s just hard to differentiate between the two. There’s just no shape of a consensus on […]
Theo Epstein v. Mike Mussina; It’s So On
2 Comments Published by Andrew Johnson February 27th, 2008 in Yankees, Red SoxTheo Epstein and Mike Mussina are probably the last two Red Sox and Yankee figures you’d expect to be feuding, but, well, here we are.
