All I was saying with the injuries was that with the Yankees and Red Sox as evenly matched as they are, if your opponent has arguably 3 of their best 6 players out, and another 4 playing hurt, you should beat them.

If you're a Sox fan coming into the series, you have to take 2 games at least and take advantage of the fact that the Yanks are nowhere near full strength. Because you'll be kicking yourself in September when you're struggling to get into the play-offs and every game (especially those against the Yankees) matters, and you look back and see a wasted opportunity.

If you're the Yankees, you need to take one or two games at home so that you stay with the Sox in the division and don't create a hole for yourself both in the division standings and head-to-head.

i agree totally!!!......but it comes down to pitching as tonight so far has proved......and tomorrow the yankkes should have the upper hand in the pitching match up....Wed Red Sox and thursday Red Sox ( wakefield is a Yankee killer more times than not)

Well in your avatar you are decked out in Red Sox gear and yet you're a Mets fan. You've explained it, I just will never get it. I'm stubborn that way. I believe in liking one team and one team only.

That is true. The only Yankee pitcher who has been hurt is Rivera and he only pitches an inning a game. I did expect a better pitching matchup tonight, though.

Nope, Giants fan. I'm from NY ( even though they play in jersey). Most Yankee fans are Giants fans although of course some are jets fans. I'm not from Dallas, I wouldn't be a CowBoys fan....

I disagree. I'm judging by my circle of friends though. most are Giants or jets fans. I'm sure there is a segment of that out there for sure. My favorite football team was decided before the 90's as I turned 15 in 1990.

I don't watch every Yankees game but i have seen many non-Red Sox Yankees games this season, almost every time a Yankee hits a HR @ home they want a curtain call. It's pretty pathetic and cheapens the moment when it happens all the time. But when your not winning in October anymore you have to take pride in small victories in May and June I guess.
