Just two weeks ago, the Red Sox were playing the Yankees in a 3–game series where 1st place was in jeopardy. The Yankees were in first place coming off an impressive number of wins.
The Sox ended up sweeping the series and seem to be cruising — even Big Papi is starting to get back in the swing of things. (Not everything is roses in the Red Sox Nation – Dice K still can’t pitch worth squat and no one seems to really know why.)
The Yankees, meanwhile, have tanked.
From being in 1st place to now 5 games behind the Red Sox, the Yankees have lost their way. Part of it has to be that Alex Rodriguez is in a horrible slump (little tougher hitting when you’re not on the juice, eh A-Rod?).
Well, the season is still young. But I have to admit that I love that the Yankees spent a gazillion dollars on their new talent and their new stadium and they still don’t have much to show for it. It couldn’t be happening to a better team!
