Dan Shaughnessy-- 33 Reasons Red Sox fans are happier to face Indians

  • 13 of the 33 Reasons Shaughnessy noted:
  • "No "Enter Sandman" when the bullpen door swings open in the ninth.
  • No T-shirts with vile messages for Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.
  • No New York tabloids, no Mike & Mad Dog, no John Sterling, no "New York, New York" blaring 100 times at the end of games in Yankee Stadium.
  • No USAir flight No. 1918 from LaGuardia.
  • No "No, No, Nanette" (would that be a triple negative?).
  • Coco Crisp can show the Tribe that they made a mistake letting him go.
  • It's impossible to make those Harvard-Yale, Athens-Sparta analogies in any series that includes Cleveland.
  • Fox won't bombard us with video of Jason Varitek smashing his mitt into the face of A-Rod and Pedro Martínez shucking Don Zimmer to the ground.
  • Traveling legions of Red Sox Nation will be safer in the Jake than in Yankee Stadium.
  • No references to Evil Empire, Bambino, Harry Frazee, Bucky Dent, or Aaron Boone.
  • Bob Feller throws out the first pitch instead of Reggie Jackson.
  • No awkward conflict of interest for The New York Times. The corporation (which owns the Globe and 17 percent of the Red Sox) can openly root for the Sox against Cleveland.
  • No YES (Network)."
