For less than 24 hours, the Yankees and Red Sox were tied atop the A.L. East division, a position that the 2 teams may find themselves in several times as their 2009 campaigns move forward. The Yankees have been surging since the the return of beleaguered slugger Alex Rodriguez on May 8th. Boston has been flagging since then, too. It all equalled an identical record last night.
The most recent series, at the Metrodome in the Twin Cities, Boston split the series with a win this afternoon, 3-1. The 4 games that the Sox and Twins played were crisp affairs, all decided by 3 points or less: 6-5, Boston on Mon; 5-2, Minnesota on Tues; 4-2, Minnesota last night; and 3-1, Boston this afternoon. Sox captain (and catcher) Jason Varitek homered twice today in the win, which put Boston back up by a half-game in the East.
Thanks for writing, I truly liked your latest post. I think you should post more often, you evidently have natural ability for blogging!
Ah! You’re up and going again. Now I can keep up with what’s happening.
