Baseball: RED SOX versus THE EVIL EMPIRE

once again it comes down to the season ending series between these two powerhouses in the AL east, as tired as i am of this over hyped rivalry i am excited about this weekends games According to Elias, the only time New York had a lead with four games to go and failed to win was 1904, back when the Yankees were called the Highlanders

i would love to see the sox sweep the yanks in Fenway with the tribe sneaking into the playoffs while the bronx bombers watch the post season from home

GO RED SOX

tonights game is being carried on espn...it's on now :loudhorn:

Boston wins game one 5-3, the nerves were showing tonight, sloppy fielding by the yankees was almost offset by bad baserunning by the red sox, Wells pitched well to pick up the win

that game had more hype to it..and more exciting for the people coming into the game...but the Chisox/indians had a tremendous game as well.

What happens if the Sox, Yanks, and Indians all tie at the end of the season?

forgive me for the cut and paste but after looking at this i decided that it would be far easier to do than to try and figure it out and type it all in, looks like the nfl coming down to the playoffs

Looks like we're gonna have another post-season with those damn Yankees. They have the division, and I think it's obvious the Sox are gonna get the Wild-Card.

this could set up another red sox yankees championship, would be another classic struggle, it's time for Varitek to feed some more leather to Arod
