LOS ANGELES -- What we want, of course, is the bi-coastal, large-market, grudge-wrapped passion play. We crave the Dodgers vs. the Yankees, Hollywood vs. New York, Dodger Blue vs. Pinstripes, Joe Torre vs. the Steinbrenners, a Toxic Twins clash between Alex (Primobolan) Rodriguez and Manny (Gonadotropin) Ramirez, Lousy Ratings Leno vs. Pants Down Letterman, Vinnie Chase Goes Home, a collision of our entertainment and financial epicenters.
