In an exclusive scoop, the Outside Track girls can now reveal that the dirt dog Red Sox have been caught cheating... and have taken up with a brand new rival!
That's right: the Sox-Yanks rivalry lost so much heat, the Sox apparently were forced to look down South for a new plaything.... and the racy Rays from Tampa were just the ticket! We even have photographic evidence of the heat these two AL East teams generate together:
Sources say that although the teams have flirted with rivalry for the better part of a decade, they finally seemed to come together as true rivals during a fortuitous day back in June of this year. They've been inseparable ever since, united in hate.
When asked for comment, Hank Steinbrenner responded with a flurry of unintelligible cuss words, and George Steinbrenner asked for another sandwich. Calls to the Sox and Rays were not immediately returned, although we did receive an emailed photo of Dustin Pedroia flexing his biceps while wearing a "Welcome To The Gun Show" shirt.

No, Texy! Please tell me this is just a rumor! I've always been amazed at how long the Red Sox and Yankees have stayed together, especially in this day and age of adultery and cheating. Regardless, I hope these Rays are just a fling and my favorite rivalry gets back together soon!
