Revenge Is A Dish Best Served In The Bronx

If you’ll permit me this moment of unabashed Yankee arrogance at the expense of anything and everything Bostonian...

Bob Ryan, perhaps the finest sports columnist left on the planet, has weighed in with his MVP vote and it should make Big Papi rush out to seek the solace of a good dozen cheeseburgers.

Since the fate of the AL East has already been decided and the Yankees have their ninth straight division crown just about in the bag, I won’t spend too much time discussing this upcoming weekend’s four game series between the Yanks and Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. The only thing I will mention is that if the Yankees win tonight (weather permitting) then, ignominy of ignominies, the Yankees can put the final deathblow on the 2006 Red Sox by beating them three times this weekend. It won’t erase 2004, but it would go a long way to re-establishing the right and proper order of things in the Yankee Universe.

And now, I leave you all with a picture...


That’s Big Papi looking up at the Yanks in the standings...and Derek Jeter in the MVP voting.
