Joe Torre suggests that since "The Curse" is over, there isn't anything to the Red Sox - Yankees rivalry. Mr. Torre, with all due respect, may I please point out that they beat you last year, preventing you from advancing to the World Series, and the year before, you did the same to them. In most sports, that's enough to start a rivalry. This rivalry may have been different since it was "started" when one of the best players was sold from one team to the other, but I suspect recent events bring out even more emotion.
I know Torre is trying to take pressure off his team by trying to make the Sox - Yankees games seem less important, but give us a break! With the steroids suspicions preventing any celebration of Bonds' assault on Aaron's record, Red Sox vs Yankees is all Major League Baseball has got going for it. The emphasis on these games will be bigger than ever.
