I got clean of Yankeeism in 2004 and never looked back. Frankly, the Red Sox create enough issues for me to cope with that I can ignore the Yankee drama. I doubt the 2007 edition will signal their end and I suspect A-Rod will be choking for the Yankees once more in 2008. The off-season for Boston looks like a potential goldmine for fans, bloggers and the CHB even if the Sox win the last game of the year. From regular season awards, to free agents (Lowell, Schill), to potential trades (Coco to make way for Ellsbury), veterans who I think might want to leave on top (Wake, Timlin) and, where will Manny be Manny. I see no time for the NYY. Enough of that. Cleveland is tough. Schill/Beckett/Manny/Papi/Paplebon are at their October best. Manny doesn't even know bugs exist. We don't fear no stinkin' bugs.</p>
