Red Sox vs. Cubs or Yankees vs. Mets

So often we hear about the perceived dividing line in the state. Whether you live east or west of the Connecticut River determines how much state funding is received, whether economic development is viable, the importance of maintaining rural character... the list goes on and on.

This line is also supposed to define sports allegiance.

It's not a perfect science, but each year the pollsters come out and check the temperature of Major League Baseball fans just to see if there's been a shift between those who favor pin stripes and those who prefer the color red.

Well this weekend, as MLB showcases interleague play there is some interesting commentary about the state's Fox affiliate choosing to go with the New York series over the Boston and Chicago games.

Check out Mike Pepin's blog on Boston.com. He's referring to this piece by Luther Turmelle from the New Haven Register.

Oh yah, the Yankees-Mets game will be on tonight at 7 on Fox 61.

For Red Sox fans, is you live close enough to the Massachusetts border or can get Fox 25 out of the Bay State on your TV you're in luck at 7 p.m. If not, there's always MLB.com or NESN Daily at 10.
