Of course the New York Times is rooting for the Red Sox, they're partial owners of the Red Sox.

More Red Sox Talk - (Stop me if you've heard this before) John Kerry is distorting Howard Dean's record again:
Kerry said Tuesday that if New York beats Boston in the best-of-seven series that begins Wednesday, he'll send New England clam chowder to Dean's campaign. He wants Manhattan chowder from Dean if Boston wins.

Kerry last month accused Dean, the former Vermont governor and current front-runner for the Democratic nomination, of being a Yankees fan.

Dean, a New York native, called the accusation insulting, and insisted he backs Boston.

"Howard Dean has a relationship with the Yankees that goes way back so we hope he is willing to put some chowder behind his childhood team," Kerry spokeswoman Kelley Benander said.
If only nasty Manhattan chowder were the end of story - "Kerry, better known for sailboarding and ice hockey than for baseball banter, also plans to launch a 'Cowboy Up for Kerry' effort, using the slogan Red Sox players adopted for the stretch run."

With tonight's glorious Sox win we can only hope that this kind of issue debate can continue through the Democratic primaries.
