Several Sportswriters Claim The Red Sox-Yankees Rivalry Had Disappeared, But Now Say It Has "Officially" Returned

Nicholas Parco and Mike Mazzeo, Daily News:

The rivalry is officially back.

Jason Mastrodonato, Herald:

The bad blood is back.

Who in their right mind seriously thought the rivalry had disappeared?

As JoS's Schadenfreude posts reveal, every New York sportswriter covering the Yankees rips various hometown players and managers from time to time for their failures and other assorted nonsense. But in the wake of last night's brawl, they lost any and all objectivity.

Mike Vaccaro, Post:

Four innings earlier, Austin had been on first base after an RBI single.
