20 million Yankee fans say Pfah

William Rhoden, in his regular article in the NYTimes sports section, opined on how lovely it would be for the Red Sox to win the World Series.

"The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry has been a wonderful story, but I am beginning to feel like my daughter, who says that if I choose "Jack and the Beanstalk" one more time for a bedtime story, she will burn the book. Frankly, I'm ready for a new Red Sox-Yankees story line.

We've written Red Sox futility. The Curse of the Bambino. Red Sox tripping over themselves. We've written every variation of the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon. The only thing we have not written is "Red Sox win World Series.''

Any baseball fan with a heart - except for Yankees and Cubs fans - would like to see Boston win the World Series."

Hey Bill, bit of a sweeping, accusatory statement, no? Have you considered writing for the Boston Globe??

By the way, Wile E. Coyote never caught the Road Runner.
