Post the All-Star Break
Wimbledon’s over, we’re in the final week of the Tour de France, and the circus that is baseball’s All-Star game is finally put away. Now we can get serious about the various standings, start to pay attention when poor Tampa Bay beats the dreaded Yankees, as they did today.
The rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees is famously one-sided. New York smiles smugly at the little provincial New Englanders from up the coast and occasionally seems genuinely hurt by the level of vitriol hurled in its direction. Not understanding why everyone doesn’t automatically love a winner.
Remind you of anyone?
