1. Red Sox have still won 11 of 15 from the Yankees..

Since both teams are assured of a playoff spot, I don't see how it really matters who wins the East..The Red Sox won one of their WS from the WC position anyway..

5. Didn't the Red Sox win something like 9 of 11 during 2009?

7. You're right.

I didn't remember it right.

"The Red Sox won the first eight contests against the Yankees in 2009. After the All-Star break, the Yankees tied the season series at 9–9."

8. Even in 2007 I think the Yankees took the season series...

Might also have in 2004.

9. I agree that it doesn't really matter.

All that really matters is getting in the playoffs. Lots of teams have proven that.

4. Meh, the rest of us view it like a boxing match between Hitler and Stalin.

Whoever wins is still a colossal asshole.
