I must admit that I actually do enjoy Lupica's columns and guest spots on the occaisional sports show. His bits with Bob Ryan before the ALCS games were the clincher, he was excited about the matchup and how great a series it was going to be. Never have I heard/read anything from him that contains any sort of venom towards the Sox. In fact, he seems to be a baseball fan that happens to write for the Yankees. Smart guy, well versed... and even more enjoyable to read when it's his team he's talking about rebuilding
