Written on July 25, 2008 – 9:13 am | by Harry Robinson |

***SIGH*** The New York Yankees go to Fenway Park and take on the Red Sox. It really doesn’t get any better than this. The two monsters of baseball get to lock up again. Both teams between them in the past 12 seasons have won 6 championships. And both of these teams have been the rulers of baseball. So here are the top 5 things to watch for in this three game series between the Sox Vs. Yanks.

5. The battle of the second basemen. Dustin Pedrioa has been outstanding for the Red Sox this whole season. Robinson Cano who struggled with the bat in the 1st half of the season. Cano in the second half of the season has been on fire.

4. Fenway Park has been the saftey net for the Red Sox. The Sox post the best home record in baseball at 36-11.

3. Bullpen who is going to show up for both clubs. The Yankees have been outstanding recently in the bullpen. The combination of Jose Veras, Kyle Farnsworth and Mariano Rivera have been one of the dependable things as a club the Yanks have been able to count on this season. The Red Sox has been kind of up and down. Johnathan Papelbon has been solid and the set up guy Hideki Okajima. The Red Sox now have solid one and two.

2.David Oritiz and Manny Ramirez the New York Yankee killers who are arguably been the reasons on why the Yankees in the postseason cannot beat the Red Sox. On the Yanks side when will Alex Rodriguez become the nation kille? Alex Rodriguez has had the label of best player in the MLB but it series like this that Rodriguez needs to show up and make and impact.

1. Pitching- The Red Sox have a clear advantage when it comes to this. Tonight they have there ace going in Josh Beckett who goes against the young flame thrower for the Yanks Joba Chamberlin. Game 2 Pettitte Vs. Wakefield and in the rubber match The Pudge man Sydney Ponson Vs. Jon Lester. ADVANATAGE PITCHING RED SOX.
