Is the Bosox/Yankees feud between fans only?
A fantastic rivalry but I refuse to believe these major league ballplayers really care about it. Especially with guys like Rocket Clemens and Wade Boggs and others jumping from team to team.
Do players, managers, and head office really care?
Or is this something baseball fans just created?
They acknowledge it because they know the fans live for the rivalry, but in reality, they don't care. It is just another team to play against. I'm pretty sure most Red Sox don't like A-ROD, but that is because of who he is, not the team he plays for. During the World Baseball Classic, Jeter was friendly with the Sox on the American team.

The Red Sox went into Toronto this week for a three game series prior to the hosting the Yankees this weekend. Heading into the Blue Jays series, Boston had lost nine of their last ten road games, but Toronto proved to be the perfect tonic as the Red Sox won the first two games and now look for the sweep in Thursday night's game.
The Yankees have the night off as they fly in from the West Coast after having taken two out of three from Oakland. If Boston wins Thursday they will be 6 ½ games behind New York in the American East. The Red Sox are tied with the Texas Rangers for the wild card spot and hope to have Tim Wakefield back in the rotation by next week.

The Yankees are looking to turn their fortunes around at Fenway, as they are 0-6 in the two previous series this season. Of course this isn't the same Yankee team that lost the second series back in the beginning of June.
The Yankees are riding the hot bat of Derek Jeter who finished the West Coast trip hitting .550 (22-for-40) over his past 10 games, including five games with at least three hits, as he has boosted his season batting average to .331.
Robinson Canoe is equally as hot as he has a 14-game hitting streak batting .431 (25-for-58) during the stretch.
The Red Sox are currently riding the hot bats of David Ortiz and Jason Bay as both have regained their long-ball touch. Ortiz has homered in four of his last five games and Bay has four dingers in his last six games.
These teams will meet one more time this season at Yankee Stadium at the end of September, so it's a big home series for the Red Sox if they have any chance of closing the gap.
