New York Times all of a sudden forgets it is a NEW YORK newspaper

Bah! Somehow, the New York Times all of a sudden starts rooting for the Boston Red Sox! Feature articles about their chemistry, a "what-if?" article asking about the ramifications of a Red Sox World Series win without facing the Yankees in the playoffs, and a George Vescey column where he plain out roots for the Sox. What the hell is the world coming to?

The journalistic disclosure, of course, which is listed NOWHERE on the website: The New York Times is owned by The New York Times Company, which happens to own part of the Boston Red Sox.

OUTRAGE!

Who gives a fuck, the Yankees are going to the World Series anyway. In the unfortunate and somewhat-possible-but-not-likely chance that it's not the Yankees on stage this year for the AL, then I'll be rooting for the Cardinals all the way. Fuck, I'd root for Atlanta if it came to that. (ick. can't believe I just said that)
