Hate to admit it, but I'm excited about Yankees/Sox tonight...

I'm a west coast guy, and I usually want to vomit every time I hear about the Yankees or Red Sox.  But I'm actually interested tonight, and will probably watch the whole series.  Why, you ask?

It's simple.  A sweep by the Sox this week means that the Yankees are officially DONE!  Then maybe the media circus will go away, or at least lessen.  GO SOX!

I cannot stand this "rivalry", it's so overrated...:|Ngamer05

May I ask why?

May I ask why? 

Sure you can and the reason why it's overrated is that these two teams play 17+ times a year and when you consider all the media coverage these two teams get is what also makes this "rivalry" even less enjoyable.

Now let's compare this "rivalry' to some of the big ones in sports. UNC/Duke basketball is my personal favorite, you have two HoF coaches and two teams that have a history of winning. Other ones are USC/Notre Dame, Alabama/Auburn, Redskins/Cowboys, and there are more.

Um...No. Yanks got this tonight.EmanSolid117

Can you read? Make sure you've read what I posted before you respond :D 

Alright, you know what? No matter what happens in these next two games, it'll still all be about the Yankees. If they win it'll be "Will the Yankees make their umpteenth comeback?!" for the next four months. If they lose, then it'll be "What happened to the Yankees?!" every day until next year.

And it'll just start all over again when spring training starts again next year. So no, it's never done. Dare I say there's too much money wrapped up in this rivalry for it to go away?

Yanks win 6 to 2 and the bronx bombers will most likely take the series because julian tavarez is starting for the sox tomorrow....that spells for a big loss...and then its schilling the next game and he got spanked the last meeting between the two, so he will want redemption...

and if you know baseball ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

mussina didnt he do bad after words? yea thats what i thought yankee fan dont predict the future.

i AM POSTIVE YOU THOUGHT YANKEES WERE GOING TO WIN THAT ALCS WHEN UP 3-0 .....

yea looks like future you got sucks ass

Tavarez dominated! :D It's 6-2 Red Sox in the top of the 7th. Man, I can't believe I ever wanted to ship that guy to the minors... ^_^

Edit: Oh, did I say 6-2? My bad. It's now 7-2 thanks to a single by Big Papi. :D

Well, LIKE I SAID..... Tavarez is off and on....... tonight he was on, then he was off, then he was on again. And see what happens.Robbie_IV

It bugged me a little that Papelbon and Okajima both allowed that many baserunners, but I guess they have to have their off nights. And all John did was walk Giambi and..... uh.... whoever else it was. Carbrera? Yeah, anyway.... everything else was a strikeout, and he looked downright nasty against Jeter.

The Sox have been doing a lot of run-scoring in the first inning lately. If they had really gotten to Mussina, then their bullpen might've had to pitch much more than the last three innings.

This game only shows just how pitiful the yankees are in terms of pitching and offense, they "should" have beaten tavarez today with all of the walks. 200 million dollar payroll can't beat julian tavarez who isn't even really a starter, just a fill-in. Mussina was awful from the get-go throwing only 83-87 on the mph gun and just didn't have any stuff. The yanks domination over baseball is over...mark my words....until I get proven wrong...schoolisnotkool

Yea.  I'm not sure why either.  They have the talent, i guess they just can't mesh together like the Sox seem to be doing now.  Maybe Joe Torre (spl?) needs to go?????

Well hey, if you wanted to judge the Yankees by a series which they won, well then I guess it would be pretty damn easy to judge them by this one.

But I don't see how you can predict victory for them in May if you can't predict defeat either. The baseball season is not a set course, and if three of four is good, then I guess 31 and 15 isn't bad either.
