The New York Yankees will host the final fourth of July series at The House That Ruth Built beginning tonight against the hated Boston Red Sox. With 4 games separating them in the schedule, a sweep by the bombers will be the perfect fireworks to tie the two teams in the standings.
The momentum is in the Yankees favor and it is time for another 4 game Boston Massacre, this time in the Bronx. I feel the sweep coming! Go Yankees!!!
MyTeamRivals is pleased to announce a new discussion forum. There are forums for all major sports and every team we cover. Check it out today!
While the Red Sox have been floundering, the Yankees have battled through more injuries than any team should in 5 seasons. Two, arguably three, hall of famers have missed time while the teams young pitchers have faced growing pains along with injuries. Meanwhile the Red Sox have been terrible on the road going 12-19 and have shown they are not a complete team.
Now the Yankees are turning a corner. Jeter has been back, A-Rod is back, and Jorge is returning this week. Mike Mussina has regained his form, Pettitte is solid, and Rasner has been better than expected since his recall. Chien-Ming Wang has been the team's ace and better than most expected. Now the number 5 spot in the rotation is settled as Joba Chamberlain will make his first career start on Tuesday.
The Red Sox had their chance to take a commanding lead, but now it is too late. The Yankees will be right there with them by the All Star break and be ready to run the division for the second half. Look out Beantowners, the Yankees are on the move.
There is not much of a pennant race this year as the Red Sox own the AL East and the Yankees own the cellar. It's too bad that the Yankees have spent all that money only to be outplayed by every team in the division. Sorry Hank, all that money can't buy you a championship.
It looks like the Red Sox are on their way to another championship while the Yankees eat more humble pie! Sorry A-Rod, it is fair and about time! This is the Red Sox Century. 
We want our readers to get involved and post comments to our blog. It was our goal when we made it. If, however, you get so upset by someones post or comment, please do not run them down with your car like this woman did after a Yankees Red Sox argument in a bar in Rhode Island.
"She never braked, and she accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet. She went directly at this group of people," prosecutor Susan Morrell said of Ivonne Hernandez, who is charged with reckless second-degree murder in the death early Friday of Matthew Beaudoin, 29.
Authorities won't describe the argument beforehand in Slade's Food & Spirits, but witnesses said it heated up when Hernandez identified herself as a New York Yankees fan. Like the rest of New Hampshire, Nashua, 45 miles northwest of Boston, is Red Sox country.
Bartender Tanya Moran said the argument spilled outside, and at least one person in a group that included Beaudoin began chanting ``Yankees suck!'' when they saw a Yankees sticker on Hernandez's car.
Hernandez, 43, allegedly gunned her car and struck Beaudoin and his friend Maria Hughes, 21. Hughes had only minor injuries, which Beaudoin's sister Faith said was because her brother shielded his friend.
Hernandez, of Nashua, was arrested at the scene. She acknowledged she had been drinking and refused to take a breath-alcohol test, said Morrell, a senior assistant attorney general. Hernandez said she had been in an argument with the group.
"She indicated to police that she wanted to scare this group of people. She thought they would get out of the way," Morrell said.
Hernandez was ordered held without bail after being arraigned Monday in Nashua District Court. The charges, including aggravated drunken driving, are felonies, so Hernandez could not enter a plea.
Her public defender, James Quay, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Beaudoin died of massive head trauma at a hospital, Morrell said.
Moran told The Telegraph of Nashua during the weekend that Beaudoin came to the bar regularly to socialize, sing karaoke and have fun.
"He came to hang out. He didn't really drink much," she said.
Chris Lovett, a disc jockey at Slade's, told the New Hampshire Union Leader that Beaudoin kept to himself and "wasn't an instigator."
Faith Beaudoin said her brother, who lived in Nashua, was a 1997 graduate of Nashua High School who worked dealing poker at Sharky's in Manchester and Nashua. She said his organs, including his heart, live and kidneys, were donated in hopes of saving other people's lives.
"He was always helping people when he was alive, and he's still saving lives," she said, choking back tears during the weekend.
The moral of the story, argue about sports on MyTeamRivals.com instead of a bar, it is much safer.
The loud mouthed New Yorkers continue to talk about their Yankees being the best team in baseball yet when you look at the standings, the 15-10 Boston Red Sox seem to have the lead while the 12-12 fourth place Yankees flounder at the bottom of the division.
It is hard to understand their arrogance because their team is mediocre at best. Their promising young pitcher Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy are both busts and Brian Cashman must be wondering why he did not use one or both of them in a trade for Johan Santana.
There are 68 more days until the Red Sox beat the Yankees again but I have to wonder if the Yankees will even be in the pennant race by then. Looking forward to a fun 4th of July!
The baseball gods frowned upon a fan putting a jersey in baseball's new sanctuary. In response to his jersey being planted in the cement, they have cursed the bat of David Ortiz. Big Papi brings his .113 average to the Bronx tonight where the curse will cement itself. Tough times to be a BoSox fan! Don't worry 86 years will go by in a flash!
A typical Red Sox fan.
The New York Yankees are 480-280 at Yankees Stadium against the Boston Red Sox. Tonight the dominance continues as Chien-Ming Wang looks to pitch another gem against the Beantowners while Mike Mussina looks to complete the sweep tomorrow night.
The Yankees are going to win both games this time around and are looking more like the clear favorites in the AL East. Sorry Beantowners, you lucky run is over. The greatest team in the history of sports is back with a vengeance. Don't worry, 86 years isn't too long to wait for your next championship!

This post will be short and sweet...the Red Sox need to send an early message tonight to the New York Yankees!
The message is simple; we are the world champs and you are not!
Matsuzaka needs to go out and get it done tonight against the young Phillip Hughes, take two out of three and set the tone for the season!
Go Sox!
Just like the Boston Red Sox in everything they do, they are just a bit behind the New York Yankees. There will be no curse against sports greatest team and the Red Sox look again like the bottom feeders with classless fans.
It took about five hours, but the Red Sox jersey that was embedded in the concrete of the Yankees' new stadium to place a curse on the New York franchise has been unearthed with jackhammers.
Earlier this week, a construction worker who is a Boston fan working on the concrete crew at the $1.3 billion new Yankee Stadium buried a Red Sox shirt in with the concrete foundation, in the hopes of jinxing the New York Yankees' new home, the New York Post reported.
The newspaper reported Sunday that two workers approached a construction manager with what they thought was the location of the jersey. After digging a two-foot by three-foot hole, the jersey was found.
"They absolutely pinpointed that if it was in the ground, that's where it was," Yankees spokeswoman Alice McGillion told the newspaper.
Initially the Yankees denied the jersey was ever buried in the footings of the new stadium. But clearly the Yankees brass is happier now with the possibility of a curse gone.
"I hope his co-workers kick the [expletive] out of him," Yankees co-chairperson Hal Steinbrenner said.
The newspaper said the jersey felt like a filthy rag, but the word "Red" was clearly visible.
The Yankees plan to donate the jersey to charity, and may pursue a lawsuit against the construction worker.
There are precedents for fans strategically burying trinkets for good luck. During the construction of the ice rink for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, a worker laid a Canadian one-dollar coin (known as a "loonie") at center ice. Canada went on to win its first gold medal in men's ice hockey since 1952.
And Mickey Bradley, a co-author of "Haunted Baseball," told the New York Post that a worker was said to have buried an unknown good-luck charm in a water main trench of the current Yankee Stadium back in 1920.
"Prior to that, they never won a World Series," he told the newspaper.
The Yankees went on to win 26 world championships since.
The Babe Ruth curse lives. Sorry Beantowners, your copy catting did not work!
Chien-Ming Wang showed the Red Sox what a true ace is limiting them to 2 hits in a complete game victory. The one sided rivalry continues as the Yankees dominate like they have throughout the years and the Red Sox commiserate and complain like they always do when they are on the short side of the stick.
By the way, the all time record between the teams is 1087-892. Give us a call Red Sox fans when you even things up, or when David Ortiz decides to start hitting. Neither will happen anytime soon! 3-40 is a great start Little Papi.

Despite the New York Yankees victory last night....(even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while), it is clear to me that the Boston Red Sox....excuse me....the defending World Champion Boston Red Sox are the superior team.
I will take our pitching, hitting and coaching (sorry, where is Joe Torre again) over the Yankees any day of the week.
You don't win two World Series titles in four seasons without doing something right. The Yanks haven't won a ring in eight years now! I guess it's just not their century.
On another note, I was trying to think of a more bitter rivalry then Sox vs Yanks. This is the only one I could come up with:
The New York Yankees are 5-5. The Boston Red Sox are, oh yeah, 5-5. The April lead that the Red Sox enjoyed last year? Not happening. Now the Bronx Bombers are poised to take two out of three from the Beantown boys and continue the dominance they have had up until a few years ago.
The Yankees will win this series with pitching. Ace Chien-Ming Wang will get the team started with a win tonight as the Red Sox counter with Clay Buckholz, a guy who does not even belong in the major leagues. Score it 1-0 Yanks.
Tomorrow Mike Mussina will take on Josh, I have an ERA over 9, Beckett. He will not be able to stop the Bombers potent offense and the runs will come early and often for the 26 time world champions. This will be the toughest game for the Yankees of the 3 but they certainly can pull it out.
Game three features another another ace in the making. Young stud Phil Hughes, an up and coming Cy Young Award winner, will take on Daisuke Matsuzaka. Daisuke has been good this season, but he is no match for Phil Hughes or the potent New York line up.
Did I say 2 out of 3? Looking at these match ups, it may be just another sweep at Fenway. Go Yankees!
21 year old Phil Hughes begins his first full season with the Yankees tonight as he takes the hill against the Toronto Blue Jays. Expect Hughes to be the ace everyone expects him to be and then some.
Hughes will be the difference in the division this year as he will win 15 plus games and solidify the best rotation in the American League East. He will also step up as the leader of this staff and provide an unbelievable one two punch with Andy Pettitte.
It's game time and the Yankees are off to victory!
Any reasonable observer knows Boston has not only the best team in the East, but in all of Baseball. The Yankees best shot at a post season appearence lies in battling it out for the Wild Card. Which they probably won't even make. I can think of several American League teams other then the World Champs who are better. Namely, the Angels, Tigers, Indians and possibly even the Blue Jays. This means that, with the Division crown out of play, they will compete for the Wild Card with Toronto in the division and the runner up in the Central, either Detroit or Cleveland. Face the truth Yankee fans...it just won't happen for you this year. Even if by some fluke they happen to qualify for the post season (doubt it!), they will once again have a quick exit. At least then you could sit back and enjoy watching the best team in the division bring home another trophy!!!! Go Sox!

The Red Sox will not have the luxury of a big lead in the division at the end of April like they did last year. That April lead with the Yankees slow start caused the Bronx Bombers to miss out on the division crown. This year after a jet setting trip to and from Japan, going from Spring Training to the regular season back to Spring Training then to the season again followed by tough opponents including the Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians, and Yanks. The best the Sox will be at the end of April will be around .500.
The Yankees are poised to have a strong start with an exciting young rotation, the major leagues best offense, and the best back end of a bullpen with Rivera and Chamberlain. The road to a championship begins Monday!
As everyone expected, the Red Sox again are in first place. The next story book season began, in a land far far away, with a rookie who was not supposed to make the team. Brandon Moss had a heroic start and the Red Sox won their first game of the season. Moss was supposed to be optioned to the minors but when J.D. Drew was sidelined with back pain, Terry Francona turned to him.
Moss tied the game with a home run in the 9th inning off of Oakland A's closer Huston Street and the game was won in the 10th 6-5. This was not his first big hit of the game though. Moss also hit a clutch two out RBI single in the sixth inning giving the Red Sox their first lead of the season. Moss may not have been considered for the big club before today, but all eyes are on the 24 year old now.
The contribution of Moss shows the depth the Red Sox possess and makes it evident that they will again win the division and maybe a back to back World Series championship. This is the year that the Red Sox win 100 games!
Phil Hughes is ready to go and his fastball looked great as the future ace of the Yankees got his work in tonight against the Philadelphia Phillies. He struck out 6 in 5 innings and had command with all of his 
pitches.
The lineup scored 13 and had 19 hits through 6 innings as the most potent line up in the game showed they were in mid season form. Jason Giambi, Robinson Cano, and Melky Cabrera all homered while the best left side of the infield in baseball Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez combined for 5 hits.
The Red Sox series is coming and the Yankees are poised to sweep them!
While the Red Sox Nation or county (although they do not even have a county in Massachusetts with out tons of Yankees fans) rest on their laurels, The Yankees are prepared to begin a new era. With Hank Steinbrenner and manager of the year Joe Girardi at the helm, the Bronx Bombers are prepared to continue their tradition of winning. Girardi will bring energy while baseballs most potent line up will return to reek havoc on American League pitching. The rotation will be anchored by the next generation of Yankees greats Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, and Chien Ming Wang while Joba Chamberlain seasons himself in the bullpen. A-Rod will continue his pursuit of being one of the greatest players ever while Derek Jeter continues as the best short stop of his generation.
Times are good in the Bronx again. The house that Ruth built will have one more year for a championship and next season the new tradition will begin at the New Yankees stadium. Go Yankees! Our time was then, our time is now! The 27th World Series Championship is on its way!
The way I see it, the Sox were a better team last season then the hated Yankees(division champs, World Champs). No reason to see that changing this year. Where exactly have the Yanks gotten better? They were foolish enough to get rid of Joe Torre. Lets see; all he accomplished was 12 straight playoff appearences, more AL East titles then any fan of Fenways finest would care to admit, six trips to the World Series with four Championship rings. Oh, and how about the gutless manner in which they dumped him?? George Steinbrenners little boy's Hank and Hal (nice names), didn't have the stones to come out, step up, and say "we don't want Torre managing the evil empire anymore". Instead they opted to play their little game..."we offered him a contract (1 year, $2,000,000 less....he didn't accept it)". Give me a break. Sox fans should love the Yankees new mis-management team.
So big deal, they resigned A-Rod. Could he really have a better year then he did last year? Probably not, but last year's monster season didn't help them win the Division or do a damn thing in the Playoffs.
As far as pitching, Mussina is basically done, Rivera must be 80 years old by now, Petits not getting younger (and his hero Roger isn't around to help him juice this year).
I truly don't see how they will compete with Ortiz, Ramirez, Beckett and company. It figures to be another happy year for Red Sox Nation...yes Hank, it does exist.
I am so sick of people going on about hot the Boston Red Sox basically have already won the division. Let 
me tell you, the Yankees are a much stronger team then they were last year and as I see it, without Curt Schilling, the Red Sox are weaker.
With Chien-Ming Wong, Phil Hughes, and Ian Kennedy emerging as the base of the best starting rotation in baseball, the Red Sox can not compete. Now the Yankees can not only out hit the Red Sox, they can out pitch them as well.
The race will not be easy, but in the end, the Yankees will emerge as the winners. The way it should be.
