IF YOU GROANED when you learned the subject of this story, I have a confession for you. So did I.
Trust me when I tell you I have even less interest in writing a stale story about the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry than you have in reading one. That’s especially true this year, when the Opening Day orgasm of self-congratulation over Fenway’s centennial has been followed by the team’s basement dwelling in the standings and lineups cobbled together with enough unfamiliar names to make fans worry they’d accidentally driven to Pawtucket.

If we had a mayor with Kevin White's vision and Bloomberg's smarts, we wouldn't be in this pickle. Since White is dead and Bloomberg can't run [yet again ;)] for mayor of NYC, could he perhaps be persuaded to come here?
Fret not fellow citizens. Our leaders have determined that casinos will bring good jobs at good wages and will be the economic engines that propels us into, well..., mediocrity. One powerful and relatively easy way to help our tech/innovation sectors is to repeal non-compete employment clauses. This is a key competitive advantage CA has and one that fosters true inovation and mobility of resources.
Forget it, Neil. Mayor Bloomberg can put his entire fortune into trying to make New York the intellectual capital of the world. IT WON'T WORK. Cambridge/Boston cannot be replicated, only envied. Here at least, there is no contest. ...As for the Red Sox, sigh.
