Red Sox vs Yankees

The Bo-Sox travel to New York to play the Evil Empire...again.

Is it me or do the Red Sox seem to play the Yankees every week? I mean, there must be literally no Red Sox-Yankee Games in the second half of the season. And the Sox have yet to play the Devil Rays.

If the Red Sox sweep the series (HUGE IF) then they'll clinch a tie for the regular season series. It's at Yankee Stadium, which is never good. I believe homefield advantage plays a major role (aside from getting to hit last) in three circumstances: interleague games, when the Red Sox are home, and when the Yankees are home. Usually, you give them the edge, winning at least 2 of 3. This year, even though they've stunk, it's hard to argue against giving them that edge. It's always loud and it's pretty much the toughest place in the league to hit with two strikes (if your a visitor...).

Wakefield vs Wang, Tavarez vs Mussina, Schilling vs Petitte. I guess the middle game gives the Yankees an advantage.

Taking 1 of 3 is necessary. Taking 2 out of 3 would be amazing. Taking 3 of 3 rushes Roger Clemens back to the majors.
