The Yankees are burning up the AL, but still need to do better against the better teams everyone says. Well in the past month, they swept the Sox at home, split with the Angels at home/road, beat the Mariners, split with the Tigers, and own the Indians for the year. Who have they not beat.
No one is saying that the Sox can't beat anyone good, they just lost to Tampa the other night. If they didn't get off to such a good start while the Yankees were doing so poorly, the 5 game lead wouldn't exist and this upcoming series would be for the division.
Even though Boston broke the curse, go up to the city and tell me that the Sox fans aren't scoreboard watching. With a healthy Clemens and Hughes straightening out, I will put up our rotation against theirs in the playoffs, especially with the Yankees finally having a bench. Betemit, Duncan, Molina, etc.
The only hope I have is to avoid the Angels in the first round. Though they aren't as good as the past few years, Sciosa is a great manager and they have had the Yankees in the palms of their hands. Between that and avoiding as many overnight flights as possible for an old team (Giambi, Damon, Matsui, etc.) the Indians are playing great but don't scare anyone.
