Jim Caple is actually one of the worst of the writers on Page 2, and that's saying something. The guy is an anti-Yankee one trick pony.
Caple writes an article about tennis or golf and there's invariably some gratuitous anti-ARod comment or anti-Steinbrenner comment dropped in for no reason.
His only book is "The Devil Wears Pinstripes."
When Caple disavows the Yankee-Red Sox rivalry, he's disavowing his entire career:
"Both the Red Sox and Yankees are recent world champions. They both have bought those titles with payrolls far exceeding every other team in baseball. They both have rosters stocked with players from other organizations (the Red Sox even more than the Yankees). They both have fans who think the world revolves around their team. Cripes, David Wells pitches for Boston now. It's almost to the point that if it weren't for the pinstripes and Johnny Damon's hair, you wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
Who cares whether either the Red Sox or the Yankees win the AL East anymore? It's like choosing whether you want Halliburton or Bechtel to get the latest war contract."
