that rivalry is really cool and for me being an outsider is even better. the Red Sox seemed to have great pitching depth going into this season but saying that doesn't mean that the Yankees are short on pitching. you can't name a reasonable person who ridiculed the Yankees for signing CC and AJ, simply because that is not in question. they might ridicule the ammount of money spent on those signings and they could make a point about how the CC contract might not look very well in a few years but everybody knows that he is a top 5 pitcher in the game right now and everybody knows that AJ Burnett is unhittable when he's on.
