Steinbrenner-Lucchino Feud?

“Everybody knows that the rivalry is a heated one, and we have a lot of respect for them, and they for us,” Lucchino said. “But I don’t see what good it does to make bold predictions the first day of Spring Training.”

The rivalry may be more heated than ever before, but maybe Larry Lucchino (Red Sox CEO) is just upset he couldn’t get away with saying something like that in Red Sox Nation.

Here in New York, we embrace that kind of confidence, with open arms and no hesitations.

“I’m sure the optimism of spring flows through every camp in baseball, and I’m glad he’s optimistic, but I’m not going to comment on that,” Lucchino said. “We still see ourselves as David against Goliath.”

Is it any coincidence that Nomar Garciaparra once said, “That’s why nobody wants to play for us [in Boston].”?
