Game Notes: the rivalry that launched a thousand blogs goes into round Eightyteen-billion tonight, and as a special bonus, it will be on ESPN so we can hear all about the long and storied rivalry and the passion of the Yankee fans, and see which team Joe Morgan decides to support for the evening. Oh, and there will also be a ballgame, even featuring a pretty good pithcing matchup: the mildly disappointing but still promising Josh Beckett vs. the highly surprising and due-for-regression Mike Mussina. Put on your pith helmets and man your stations, there’s Yankee bashing to be done.
