Larry Lucchino still finding ways to tweak the Yankees

Larry Lucchino may have stepped down as the president and CEO of the Red Sox, but he hasn’t abandoned one of his favorite pastimes – tweaking the Yankees.

The man who once called the Yanks the “Evil Empire” lobbed a playful zinger at the Yanks Friday using a minor-league press release as the vehicle.

"Rob Crain brings a breadth of minor league experience from several clubs across the country, including, of course, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Triple-A affiliate of a nearby American League team,” Lucchino said in a Pawtucket Red Sox release, referring to a former employee of the Yanks’ top farm club.
