Bronx & Beans

Well, how about that? The Red Sox are playing the Yankees this weekend. We'd almost forgotten those guys!

Sorry, over here in the Beans side we had just settled in to baseball mode after vanquishing our other "traditional" sports rival (and savoring that marathon footage of Kevin McHale destroying Kurt Rambis) only to find our ballclub in a first-second battle with....the RAYS! Those pesky, thuggish Rays.

But, sure, we can still take some time for a friendly wager with our old friends in the Bronx.

Understand, if it came to it, I would probably need a while to deliver on a Giambi-esque mustache. In fact, I may only be able to resurrect the '87 Bird classic.

Sorry, though. It won't be enough to see these Yankee guys wearing Celtic green or a BEAT L.A. shirts. It's not like that would really hurt them, not really having a legitimate basketball team to call their own.

No, I'm thinking of another style statement that would still relate to the latest Celtics championship run...

I want to see Gino shirts, maybe some Gino wigs. The dance is negotiable. Hey, it's not like it's October.

Even as I make this wager, I understand this is a bet LaMonica and Fernandez may may not mind losing.
