Of course the fans care more about the rivalry than the players. That's been pretty obvious to me at least for the last few years.

Is he less objective because he writes a sox blog? If AROD didn't want a "sox fan" to write the piece I'm sure he could have declined and asked for a different reporter. Is there something in the article that leads you to seriously believe he's somehow taking a swipe at AROD, or was that just a nice little barb to belittle a "sox fan" blogger/writer? You run a nice site, that interests me, but come on, Seth Mnookin has thrown sox management, players and ownership under the bus more than once, so it's not like he's Johnny Ra Ra or anything! Keep up the (good) writing and entries and leave the BS for the bleacher creature morons from both sides! I almost guarantee we care a lot more about the rivalry than any of the players..Although I wonder about Duncan and Youkilis!

Too much for their little minds to wraps around.
