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.
