Gee, what an amazing coincidence. (smartass).

What I find interesting (or amusing) is when people get amazed at how close the all-time records of teams in a rivalry are. "Wow, can you believe that over 50 years and over 800 games, the Dodgers have won just 18 more games over the Giants than the Giants over the Dodgers?!" Gosh, what an astounding result! Are you telling me that over time, with a large enough sampling, it approaches statistical probability? Amazing!

However, the Yankees have won 1,060 games against the Red Sox while the Red Sox have beaten the Yankees only 879 times.

It must suck to know that not only is a team is better than you this year, that they are pretty much always better than you.
