Masacre Indeed

It can go without saying that one of Sport's greatest rivalries is the Red Sox vs. Yankees. Today is the fourth day in a row these two teams have faced off in the hallowed grounds of Boston's Fenway Park. Regretfully, it has been a Yankee led drubbing. Going into the double-header on Friday to begin the five game home stand, the Sox trailed the Yankees for the Division Title by a mere 1 -1/2 games. After yesterday's heartbreaking loss in the 10th inning, peceeded by getting seriously spanked on Friday and Saturday, Boston trails by 5-1/2.

A victory today won't do much to mitigate the injury served.

And if that was not enough for a Red Sox fan to live with (expecially after effectively leading the division for three months over the summer), hopes for a Wild Card birth are quietly slipping away as the Twins and White Sox duke it out. Look for interesting wild card developments this up-coming weekend when the Southsiders host the Twinkies for three in the windy city.

The insult to injury will be spending time with my Yankee Fan nephews next week. I am certain I will hear about this... over and over and over and over and over ... you get the point. Ugh!
