These late season matchups between the Yankees and Red Sox usually are intense. Fights can break out at any time while trash talking becomes routine. Wednesday night the game favored the Yankees as A-Rod launched his 44th homerun off Josh Beckett in the 7th inning. The dismal hitting by Boston allowed Roger Clemens to record his 6th win. The Rocket didn't give them many good pitches to hit.

The only bright spot for the Red Sox in the 4-3 loss was David Ortiz's solo homer (25) which came in the 6th off Clemens. New York has a bit of catching up to do in the East. Their rivals currently hold a 6-game lead over them. Give it to the final two weeks and the Yanks were probably be ahead or within a 1.5 of Boston. Most every season that's how it plays out. Tension will rise to a new high as both teams will fight for top position. I won't be surprised if Boston wins around 95-100 games the way they make runs in August and September.
Today Boston tries to avoid the sweep as Curt Schilling (8-5) pitching against Chien-Ming Wang (15-6). The lineup will again be without Manny Ramirez due to a strained muscle. The battle in the Bronx has gone the home team's way, but look for those gutsy Sox to rebound in Game 3. They want to at least salvage the series before heading back to Fenway Park to face the Orioles and BlueJays. The Sox fans still believe in 2007. A playoff birth is right around the corner!
