Red Sox Yankees Baseball Rivalry

Media reported that an argument over New York Yankees sticker may have caused a Yankees fan to run over Boston Red Sox fan.  Ivonne Hernandez of Nashua, New hampshire was arraigned Monday on reckless second-degree murder, aggravated driving while intoxicated and multiple counts of reckless conduct.   Prosecutors say the accused was intoxicated when she ran down two people early Friday after exchanging words with them about the Yankees Red Sox rivalry after leaving a bar killing a 29 year old NH Red Sox fan.

Behind an impressive 8-inning outing by pitcher Josh Beckett and two monster home runs by Manny Ramirez, the Red Sox gained a split of the two game series by winning 7-5.  The Red Sox now lead the AL East and will not face the Yankees again until July.

The Red Sox really have the Cleveland Indians’ number.  After two amazing ninth inning victories versus the Cleveland Indians, the Red Sox are on their way to Yankees Stadium for a short two game series versus the Bronx Bombers.

Too early for the Red Sox vs. Yankees?  Maybe its the cool damp Boston April weather, but this most recent series has not had too much excitement.  Perhaps it is more likely due to the fact that Derek Jeter has not played any of these games.  Still, 3 games down, sixteen more to go.  It is going to be a long season.

A Boston Red Sox fan, who also worked on the construction crew for the new Yankees Stadium, had laid a David Ortiz Red Sox jersey in the concrete of the new stadium in a bid to jinx the New York Yankees.  The Yankees exhumed the Ortiz jersey on Sunday and may sue the construction worker.  The Yankees may put the jersey up for charitable auction. 

If the two teams can avoid the seventy percent chance of rain forecated for tonight, the Red Sox will take on the New York Yankees for the first time in the 2008 season tonight at Fenway Park.  Clay Buchholz is scheduled to face the Yankees for the first time in his career if the rain hold out.

The Yankees head to Fenway Park for chilly spring games versus the Sox on April 11-13th.  The Sox then visit Yankees Stadium the next week for a short two game stint beginning April 16th.  The two teams will not meet again until July 3rd.

Wow!  Another nuclear-sized bombshell in the Boston/New York sports rivalry.  Super Bowl 42 will forever be remembered for the “Hail Manning” and the loss of the New England Patriots’ perfection to the New York Giants on one of the luckiest plays in Super Bowl history.

The Boston vs. New York rivalry took a unique twist yesterday as the New England Patriots and the New York Giants will face each other in Super Bowl 42.  If the Patriots win, they will go 19-0 and stand as one of the best football teams of all-time.  If the Giants win, they will go down in history as having the most remarkable playoff runs of all time in all sports.
