I've been a Yankee fan since I was a kid back in the 60's but I think you folks are missing something. The Red Sox are going to beat everyone. They are about even with the Yanks at the break but they've played most of the first half without their two best players. When Nomar and Pedro return, look out! The M's are doing great but they will probably have to face either the Yanks or the Red Sox in a five game series. In a short series, anything can happen. Pick the Sox over either the M's or the Y's.
