Interesting news day for Giuliani. The Times finally covers the batshit craziness of his advisers, and we also learn that the Yankees' "first fan" has no trouble rooting for the Sox in the World Serious.

By way of explanation, Mr. Giuliani couched his shift in loyalty as support for the American League. (“I’m an American League fan and I go with the American League team,” he told reporters — not coincidentally — in the primary state and Boston neighbor of New Hampshire.) “I thought he was loyal to New York,” said Kebrae H. Scott, 30, a maintenance worker who wore a Yankees cap as he was heading to his home in the Ebbets Fields Apartments in Brooklyn near where Mr. Giuliani grew up.

I am a Yankee fan. I know a lot of Yankee fans. Yes, we all prefer the AL's Designated Hitter to watching pitchers flail at the plate, but I don't know any who are rooting for the Red Sox. Ever. Or, to put it in Red Sox-ese, evah.

Of course, none of us are competing in a primary in the New Hampshire region of Red Sox Nation.
