The Boston-New York rivalry is dead anyway, plus I'm just happy I don't have to watch Oakland and Tampa Bay.

I'm a Boston fan living in New York City. Sometimes that is a bad thing—like when Bill Buckner booted that ground ball in the 1986 World Series against the Mets. Sometimes it is a good thing: like the dozen championships our teams have hauled in since the turn of the century. Not to mention an additional four finals appearances.

Usually, I'm pulling for any team that plays against the Yankees. I mean, who wouldn't, outside of New York. But for some reason I'm kind of hoping the Yankees make it in—even though my Red Sox are licking their wounds after a truly suck-worthy season. Not sure exactly why. But let's try and sort it out together.

Damn Yankees! CC Sabathia #52 of the New York Yankees pitches during the tenth inning against the Houston Astros in game two of the American League Championship Series at Minute Maid Park on October 13, 2019 in Houston, Texas.: I actually think the Yankees v Red Sox thing is now more important to Yankees fans than to Red Sox fans. For one thing, Boston's teams have done more winning than the New York clubs over the past two decades.

So good luck to the Yankees. For your sake, I hope this is your year. If not, you can always sign Mookie Betts for 2021 and kill off the Red Sox that way. And crush my soul.
