... In case you were worried the rivalry was fizzling… now even the NYY-BOS media hate each other.  Sunday morning before the MLB game, the a group of Yankee and Red Sox media got together at Fenway for the one of a twice-annual “friendly contest.”  The Boston beaters took the win 14-7 snapping a 10-game, 6-year losing streak, but not before a catcher-plowing, a beanball, and a full-on fracas in which Carl Beane-Fenway Public Address game-interrupter, wearing full BoSox uni (no kidding)- had to be physically restrained.

... Unbeknownst to me, the Boston media squares off against the New York media in twice-annual "friendly" baseball games in order to... I don't know.  Mirror the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry?  Try to make themselves feel important?  And yesterday, according to Peter Abraham's LoHud Yankees Blog, things turned uglier than the players on the field (note: that's Abraham's picture on the right).

... Not since Choke of Negative FX suffered a broken leg at a Minor Threat show on Long Island has there been such an outbreak of Boston vs. NYC violence.  The Journal News’ Peter Abraham sets the scene at the annual media ballgame that took place at Fenway yesterday morning.

Carl Beane has had enough headhunting for one day, thanks

... and in general seems to be a relatively jovial. Most of the time, that is. Because as the LoHud Yankees Blog puts it, Beane did not take kindly to Red Sox broadcaster Uri Berenguer getting hit in the helmet by a pitch from New York pitcher Bob Klapisch during an exhibition baseball game between members of the Boston and New York media: Via

... The Yankee-Red Sox rivalry isn't limited to players and fans. We all know you can't show emotion in the press box but the rules are different when Bob Klapisch is on the hill. (Lohud Yankees Blog)

Yankees-Red Sox Rivarly Extends to the Pressbox

... nearly came to blows . Then, believe it or not, we nearly had a brawl with the Boston media. New York reliever Bob Klapisch accidentally hit Boston Spanish radio broadcaster Uri Berenguer in the helmet with a pitch. Berenguer took Kevin Youkilis-like exception to the pitch and tempers flared on both sides.

We were a few seconds away from a full-out scrap. Why do I get the feeling that if it had been
