Sports Redux: Godzilla Versus Mothra in Florida?

It's getting exciting down in Florida. Dice-K seems to be living up to the hype, and David Ortiz has returned in top form. In fact, the two almost collided the other day, enabling the AP to suggest a potential "confrontation" between the two if Dice-K pitches to Big Papi. We can't wait.

Speaking of physical fallouts, something's going around Fort Meyers. Terry Francona has the flu, and Mike Timlin hurt his back while pitching.

But the big non-Sox news to us is Yankee pitcher Mariano Rivera's big announcement that, if he left the Yankees, he'd never play for the Red Sox. Well, whoop-dee-doo. We don't want you, either! Nyah!

Comments like that are so, well, pro-wrestling. Sports fans love suspending their disbelief in the hopes that players are truly loyal to their cities. However, we get our hearts broken over and over again because, truth is, players go where they're gonna get paid. So when a player says, "I'll play anywhere but the Red Sox/Yankees/wherever," our first response should be, "Yeah, right. You will if the GM pays you enough."
