Well, after a very abbreviated series last week at Fenway (dang rainout!), the Yanks and the Red Sox will take it up again tonight in the Bronx. Randy Johnson vs. Josh Beckett should be a great match-up.
Here's a little bit of trivia for you all: Six of the last World Series MVP's will be at the game tonight. (I say AT the game because Schilling isn't pitching.) BTW, I'm not such a total baseball geek that I figured this out by myself. I heard it on MLB Homeplate on XM Radio. I'll post the names as spoilers in case you'd like to try to answer on your own as to who's who.
Highlight to see the names:
2004 - Manny Ramirez
2003 - Josh Beckett
2001 - Randy Johnson/Curt Schilling
2000 - Derek Jeter
1999 - Mariano Rivera
The teams are still in a virtual tie for first place although the Yankees winning percentage is .621 to the Red Sox .613. By Friday morning someone will be clearly in first. So...
GO YANKEES!!!

But, on a better note, tomorrow's and Thursday's are both on.
We'll be seeing them play at Fenway in a week and a half - can't wait, DS8 has never seen the NYY in the flesh...
