Imagining Chris Rock Joking About the Sox Rays Series

Don't the red sox have enough rings already? Can't ya let the Rays get a little taste, just a little lick at their first world series win!? If the yankees are about to go through their 5-10 year sucky streak because their guys are just too damn old now; You've got Jeter--he old! You've got caveman Johnny Damon--he old! They had Roger Clemens just last year--He was pitching when Reagan was in office--He old! And a damned liar! The yankees are done for awhile. It's like when Tyson retired. You know his ass is going to come back someday, but you gotta entertain yourself in the meantime until he can get his act together enough to challenge you again.

If anything you're going to need to lose just to make the rivalry a little dramatic, right? You gotta trade a few guys down there to add some flavor to the new rival in the AL east, right? Maybe they'll sign Derek Lowe or something to make it interesting. At the very least you can give 'em some Coco! You don't need him!

I'm still rooting for the sox. But if the yankees are really done as an organization for 5 years or so, nothing would get red sox nation into overdrive then to lose in 7 to the rays. Heads would roll. It just underscores that the real world series happens in the ALCS rather than the actual world series title...and that the division is a lot less exciting when the yankees are down and out.
