The difference between these two teams I think is really simple.
The Yankees have lost two of the their best players in Sheffield and Matsui and until pretty much the trading deadline were right with the Sox with Melky Cabrera and Bernie in the corner OF spots, exceeding all expectations. The Sox have lost Nixon and Varitek, and they've taken a huge hit, and are not the same team.
Oh, and that lead-off hitter the Yankees got is some player.
Sometimes more than others,
we see who and what and where we are,
I'm just a one man band,
With my feet in the sand,
Tonight I just need my guitar

You don't have faith in Julian Tavaras and Craig Hansen
Don't be surprised if Mark Loretta is traded for some pitching help soon, he already cleared waivers and several teams are looking for a 2nd baseman.

I do. I believe one of those prospects hit a 3 run homer today. Another one got the win in the first game, and a third is batting .294 and playing a great left-field. So much for a depleted farm system

without those 2 ....they still had a all-star team......and a lot more depth then a lot of teams......6 everday players are all-stars......so i have a hard time with they were sticking with the Red Sox......Other than Manny & Papi...who else was a all-star.......so this poor Yankee stuff doesn't fly!!
