It seems appropriate that the Yankees and Red Sox enter tonight’s showdown tied for first. After all, these teams have played seventy-one games over the past three years and the Red Sox have won 36 and the Yankees 35.
The Yankees are playing well as of late, beating Toronto 4-1 on Sunday. Mike Mussina pitched six innings of one-run ball to complete one his best months as a Yankee. Mussina is 4-1 with a 2.36 ERA and is averaging almost a strikeout an inning. It remains to be seen if the 37-year old can keep this up, but right now he is the only reliable starter in the rotation.
An interesting part of tonight’s game will be the reception given to Johnny Damon. Damon was chief of “the idiots” when he was a Red Sox, but now he is a clean-shaven Yankee. He comes in with seven hits in his last 13 at bats and two home runs. Will the fans cheer him for his accomplishments in Boston or boo him for the uniform he is currently wearing?

I'm thinking that given the lack of class Boston fans have (Jeter has AIDS shirts, fatal shootings, rioting etc) that Damon will be booed in a big way.
If they want to Boo someone who left for 3 Mil more vs. stay with an actual World Series contender, so be it.
Oh and way to equate Bostons' fans class with an untrained cops shooting death of an innocent girl.
They'll be calling him Judas for the rest of his life. Btw, the Yankees have their fair share of classless fans too. But I suppose you have to be pretty dumb to wear a "Jeter Swallows" t-shirt.
The lack of class displayed by Boston fans is exactly why that innocent girl was killed. Had they been calm and not acted like a bunch of drunken frat boys on meth (which about 85% of Boston fans are anyway...), burning and tipping over cars etc, it would never have happend. Yes, Yankee fans can be rude and crude but we don't wish terminal ilnesses upon our opponents, destroy people's property or start riots in which moron policemen (probably also Boston fans) shoot innocent people.
I think the Yankees could improve their chances if they tested the free agent market.
i'm always amazed when i hear of anyone over the age of 10 that gives a crap about baseball... or any sport that they themselves don't participate in, for the matter.
If you're so above it, why even comment? Jesus H.
