Sports Item: Boston signs top notch sluggers, while New York comes up empty in the free agent pitcher (Cliff Lee) sweepstakes. The American League East Division has already been decided. The upcoming season is still months off, but by July 4 the team will be printing World Series tickets. Fenway sellouts, devoted fans and a lineup of hitters that even New York fans envy, will be a runaway from day one. The "magic number" countdown will begin around Memorial Day. The array of Boston caps and apparel 'round town will be the order of the day.
Enjoy your regular season glory BoSox rooters, because it will be a memory that won't go away. Team Boston, victors of 100-plus wins around the first of October, will mean nothing come the first round of the playoffs. A first round elimination, probably by Texas, will rival the Boston Bruins "choke" last hockey season. All of the Red Sox supporters for months will be thinking, "Wha' happened?"
It's great to be a Yankee fan in New England, watching the inevitable demise of Boston. By the way, it's long overdue for the wrecking ball to scrape the "Green Monster." Take a look at the blue prints for the New Yankee Stadium. Get with the program already.
