The Yankees and Red Sox are about to begin a pivotal 4 game series in the Bronx tonight and the NY Daily News, in preparation for the series, has attempted to compare the match ups at each position. Is the paper accurate in its prediction and has the Daily News fairly compared each category between the two teams?
The Daily News' picks:
FIRST BASE: Mark Teixeira vs. Victor Martinez/Kevin Youkilis (DN-even)
SECOND BASE: Robinson Cano vs. Dustin Pedroia (DN-even) ?????
SHORT STOP: Derek Jeter vs. Jed Lowrie (DN-Yankees)
THIRD BASE: A-Roid vs. Mike Lowell/Kevin Youkilis (DN-Yankees)
LEFT FIELD: Johnny Damon vs. Jason Bay (DN-Red Sox)
CENTER FIELD: Melky "the milkman" Cabrera vs. Jacoby Ellsbury (DN-even) ????
RIGHT FIELD: Nick Swisher vs. J.D. Drew (DN-Red Sox)
CATCHER: Jorge "rat boy" Posada vs. Jason "tek" Varitek (DN-Yankees)
DH: Hideki "Godzilla" Matsui vs. David "i took steroids...so what" Ortiz (DN-Red Sox)
STARTING PITCHERS: Yankees vs. Red Sox (DN-Yankees)
BULLPEN: Yankees vs. Red Sox (DN-even) ????
MANAGER: Joe "huh" Girardi vs. Terry "nice windbreaker" Francona (DN- Red Sox)
OVERALL: Yankees vs. Red Sox....the series match up gives way to the Red Sox edging out the Yankees because of their 8-0 record against NY this season, but the Yankees have a 2.5 game lead in the division and have been playing their best baseball.
YOU DECIDE!!!!
