New York Yankees vs. Boston red Soxs:

The Major League Baseball regular season starts with the
greatest rivalry in history. The Boston Red Sox will host the New York
Yankees. It's going to get the stage for 19 games with every game meaning
positioning for the post season.
The history between the franchises began with the most lopsided deal in the
history of baseball, selling Babe Ruth to the Yankees and spend the next 86
years not winning a World Series title. Red Sox faithful watched as Ruth and
the Yankees went on to win 26 titles while the Red Sox suffered some of the
worst defeats in baseball history.
Bucky Dent's two run home run in the 1978 one game playoff, Mookie Wilson's
dribbler through Bill Buckner's legs in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. It
was all bad omens and blamed on the curse of the Bambino. I really think the
turn around happened during the 1999 season. Led by Nomar Garciaparra and
Pedro Martinez, the Red Sox met the Yankees in the American League
Championship series. The Yankees defeated the Red Sox in five games. The
Yankees went on to sweep the Atlanta Braves in the World Series for title
number 25.
The Red Sox and Yankees met in the again during the 2003 post season and
once again, the Curse of the Bambino reared its head, as Aaron Boone became
a Yankees folk hero hitting a game winning 12th inning home run off Tim
Wakefield. The next season, something changed. The Yankees acquired Alex
Rodriguez during that offseason, while the Red Sox hired a new manager and
found team of players that could play well together and win games. One move
including dealing Garciaparra at the trade deadline and bringing in Orlando
Cabrera to play short stop. Another key acquisition at the deadline was
utility outfielder Dave Roberts The two teams had a brawl during the season.
The post season series began with the Yankees dominating the first three
games and taking a three game lead in the series. Against the best closer in
post season history, Roberts stole second base and that move transformed the
entire series and the Red Sox went on to win the series in seven games. Red
Sox fans believed the whole time, the rest of the baseball world was stunned
as the Red Sox went on to end the 86 year curse and win their first
championship since 1918.
The Red Sox went on to win another championship in 2007 and it seemed that
the Red Sox controlled the American League East. This season the rivalry
will pick up again. The Red Sox reloaded with third baseman Adrian Beltre
and added short stop Marco Scuturo. The Yankees improved their defense with
Curtis Granderson. The Red Sox added John Lackey to their rotation. The
Yankees added Javier Vasquez to be their third/fourth starter.
It should be a battle to see which team wins the AL East with the other most
likely to get the wild card. It should be a battle and when Beckett and
Sabathia square off on Sunday, it should provide a playoff atmosphere on
opening night.
