It really isn’t baseball season until we get our first tastes of Red Sox vs. Yankees. Boston has gotten off to a bit of a sluggish start but did take two of three from Texas to wipe the sour taste the Brewers left in their mouth with a sweep over the weekend.
Just because these two teams are not currently locked in a battle atop the AL East, doesn’t mean this series will bear any less significance.
Perhaps the most celebrated rivalry in all of sports, the Yankees and the Red Sox will surely put it all on the line every single game, regardless of standings.
The Yankees lost yesterday’s game against the hated Red Sox, but they are still running away with the AL East with a 8.5 game lead over the Rays and Orioles. White the Red Sox are in the basement of the AL East they are still in the playoff race only 5 games out of the Wild Card lead.
It was the Yankees who ran away with the first game of this series last night. Phil Hughes pitched a solid game, and the Yankees bombed away to a 10-3 win.
The best rivalry in baseball gets another series started Friday evening in New York. Boston is hovering around the .500 mark, while the Yankees have the best record in baseball.
Boston just finished a back-to-back-to-back scheduling spot Sunday. The Knicks had a difficult fourth quarter Sunday afternoon and they dropped a tough home game to the Miami Heat.
