Now to the game, which involved the greatest rivalry in all of sports: Red Sox vs Yankees. We are talking about a rivalry that has become more heated with both teams winning multiple World Series Championships in this decade . What a good way for Major League Baseball to start off the season.
It started off badly for the Red Soxs at Fenway . The Yankees jumped out to a 5-1 lead by a Jorge Posada home run off the right field foul pole. The Red Sox battled back, tying the score 5-5 in the sixth inning. The Yankees put two more on the board in the top of the seventh and the Sox again tied it back up 7-7 in the bottom of the inning. Boston finally went ahead for good in the same inning with two wild pitches in a row that allowed Kevin Youkilis to score. Dustin Pedroia added an insurance run in the eighth to give the Sox a 9-7 win. This was a really exciting game considering there is till 161 left to go.
Some Predictions about this Season:
1. Mets will do better and squeeze into the playoffs
2. Red Sox will definitely fall off and not make the playoffs. They have no heavy power in the middle from Ortiz anymore and the loss of Jason Bay!
3. Yankees and Phillies will be in the World Series if injuries do not derail them. Best starting pitching rotations respectfully in National league and American.
4. Albert Pujols is going to continue is quest to be a legend
5. Lefty Tim Lincecum will lead the MLB in strike outs.
