I Should Care More
The Sox and Yankees start a four-game series at Fenway tonight. The NY Post flew a banner over Boston yesterday with pro-Yankee slogans. The Globe convinced Dan Shaughnessy to write his quarterly column about the rivalry, which consists of 13% new material (highest in years).
But ya know what? It's April. And I'm tired of getting stoked for regular season games in April: getting all excited over a 3-1 lead or down after a blown save. We freak out in April and wonder why New York eats our lunch every fall.
In the parlance of our times, it's a marathon, not a sprint. And I refuse to get freaked out over the 9th-through-12th games of a 162-game season. At least until the Sox win tonight.
