Democratic mayoral contender Sal Albanese joked Thursday that Mayor de Blasio drop his allegiance to the Boston Red Sox and slammed both hizzoner and the Sox for their cheating ways.

A day after squaring off with de Blasio in the second and last debate before Tuesday’s primary, Albanese declared on the steps of City Hall that he would now describe the mayor as “Boston Bill” — a reference to several of his lies.

“There must be something in the water in Massachusetts. Between the New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox, they can’t seem to tell the truth,” Albanese said, referring to both teams’ cheating scandals.
