... And a Rivalry is in Hibernation

Eric Wilbur: Another Meaningless Sox-Yankees Game

"In case you haven�t noticed, we�re a long way from 2004, when this rivalry hit its apex. Between the Jason Varitek-Alex Rodriguez dustup and the remarkable ALCS comeback, the storied antagonism between the two teams was at an all-time high. It wasn�t fueled in the front offices (although the offseason A-Rod chase might have initiated things), but on the field, where a certain distaste between the teams festered. Since then, it�s stayed afloat, with moments like Johnny Damon�s jumping ship at the forefront. But it�s never been as good. It�s difficult to imagine how it possibly can be." -- 3.18.08, Eric Wilbur, Boston.com
