For all the noise of this Yankees offseason, as far as the team on the field goes, all it amounted to was the status quo. Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and Mariano Rivera are all back -- and richer. Young pitchers Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy and center fielder Melky Cabrera didn't go to the Twins for Johan Santana. The 2008 Yankees will be a slightly older albeit considerably more expensive version of the 2007 team. And most fans are fine with that.

Now, all Boston needs to do is win 3 more, something that doesn't appear all that likely since no team in baseball history has comeback to win a 7-game series after a 0-3 deficit. Compounding that, and some little curse thing, the Red Sox have a taxed bullpen and Curt Schilling's ankle is in bad shape. Oh, and Pedro Martinez has the Yankees as his daddy.
