It is what it is. The fact that the Sox won, sorta shows that it actually is a rivalry. The Yankees now know that they CAN lose, and that shit happens. Pedro becoming a Yankee, the Yankees blowing them out by like 20 runs, another brawl, or players talking shit to the media will spark the feud once again. Of course it will never be what it once was, but it's still the greatest feud in sports. Why should it end now? Because the Sox won? Do you think the Sox just want the feud to end? I doubt it. It's probably what they look forward to the most. And they weren't going to lose on purpose just to keep the feud alive. What's the fun in that? Atleast now we know that anyone can win. Makes it that much better.
