Is This Rivalry Dead?
Published 4/11/2008 by The Editor at THE BRONX CHEER
... Let’s face it - these days there is more healthy respect between the Yanks and Sox than actual bad blood. Even this new feud with the Rays seems a bit more interesting right now. But that doesn’t stop The Post from dredging up ridiculous stories to try and get things going. Case in point: today’s gem about a Red Sox shirt that has been buried within the concrete of the new Yankee stadium. It’s cursed of course. Just ask any of the on-site construction workers: “I don’t want to be responsible for sinking the franchise.” Hear that, Hank? ...

Who Says Baseball Is Just a Game?

From today's New York Post, "High 'Jinx' Hits Yankees." Evidently one can claim that Red Sox Nation has spies, spies everywhere when a construction worker seals a piece of Sox memorabilia in the concrete beneath the future visitors' clubhouse of the new stadium. Some people may write it off as silly rumor or just plain stupid, but I for one am super-psyched for the possibility that we got to the very core of Ruth's House early. Maybe it can counteract the effects of the good luck charm placed in the framework of the current stadium during construction in the 1920s. ...

Since 1956, only 5 pitchers have gone their first three starts without giving up a run. Today, tomorrow, and Sunday, three pitchers will try to match this feat—Ben Sheets, Oliver Perez, and Kyle Lohse. Get the details from Baseball Reference’s Stat of the Day .
