Yanks Sox take 4

There wasn’t really anything too important about basketball going on, so I have to take another route tonight with this here blog. Because the hottest thing on the stove right now, is Yankees vs. Red Sox act 4.

As we all know, the Yanks have lost 8 straight games to the Red Sox, but these aren’t those same Yanks. If you remember, when they first met, the Yankees were all banged up, and Alex Rodriguez was now coming back from his injury. This time around, the Yankees mean business. They have been in first place for about two to three weeks now, and they haven’t looked back since. They are currently two-and a half games in front of the Sox and this weekend series may prove to be the most pivotal time series of the year. The Yanks have the ability to put Boston six and a half games behind them. If they sweep them. No one is expecting a sweep, but Yankee fans surely wouldn’t rule it out.

With this, the Yankees will be back on top where they are used to being. For a good part of the late 90’s and early 2000’s, the Yanks were always in first place this time of the year, it’s only been the past two years where they have been looking up at the Sox. Not a position they like to be.

All in all, the Yankees are in the driver’s seat right now with this series. Even if they just win one game out of the four, they would still be a half game up over the Sox. But I don’t see these Yankees folding anytime soon, they have their poker faces on, and they are looking for that royal flush.
