Sox v. Yanks

The Red Sox complete the sweep in Toronto but more importantly looked liked they have healed the wounds the Yankees inflicted upon them at the Stadium. The NY team is an absurd thirty-one games over .500.

Offensively, the Red Sox line up is finally complete. JD Drew in the eighth spot shows its depth. The Yankees boast similar depth. A big question is whether or not Jason Varitek gets a start this series. He is battling (wink, wink) a neck injury.

Pitching-wise, the bull pen had the day off yesterday as Lester gave the team eight strong. Tonight's match up of Brad Penny vs. Andy Petitte is not a great one.

Overall, this should be an interesting weekend.
