Sox Lose, Yanks Win, Tied

Did we think it would go any other way? Since the start of the season I've been convinced that it would be another Red Sox-Yankees race for first. And 110+ games into the season we have a dead heat at the top of the AL East.

This tie in August makes these 3 weekend games quite important. Should one team sweep they will have a 3-game lead & the largest spread in recent weeks. Whoever wins game 1 knows that the very worst outcome is a 1-game deficit, so a win in game 1 is very important. Each of the remaining games takes on additional importance from there.

We have Lester, Lackey & Beckett going. That's as good as we have right now. I'm shooting for 2 wins out of 3.
