A Very Important Unimportant Victory

Beating the Yankees for the final two home games of the season was huge. With the two wins the Sox take the season series 11-8 (the best since 1999), but it really won't change the out come of the season one bit. Baring a miracle the Sox will sill have to settle for the wild card as they did last year. What it does do however is give the Sox some much-needed confidence going into the playoffs. Take away the past two games and the Sox haven’t played the Yankees well since the beginning of the season. Now the Red Sox would most likely be the Vegas favorites if the teams met in the post season. We know now that other than Mike Mussina their pitching sucks, and we will be ready to face them in the ALCS, and thanks to Pedro blowing the lead in the 8th on Friday you'll be damn sure that Petey won't be out there again in the 8th to blow any more leads with or with out Grady Little.
