Oh how times have changed.  The New York Yankees are going for their forth straight victory over the Boston Red Sox this evening.  The Yankees have defeated the Sox 13-6, 2-0 (15), and 5-0 the past three games.  Before this series at New Yankees Stadium, the Red Sox had defeated the Yankees eight straight times this season.  The Red Sox are 5 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the division though the Red Sox still have a one game lead in the AL Wild Card race.

The Yankees have turned things around in a big way.  After losing the first eight games of the year versus the Boston Red Sox (plus also losing the last game of 2008), the New York Yankees have won three straight games against the Red Sox.  The Yankees will try to sweep the Red Sox of the four game series being played at the New Yankees Stadium.  The Red Sox are now five and one half games out of first place, held by the Yankees.  The Red Sox have a one game lead in the Wild Card race over the Texas Rangers.

The Boston Red Sox forced Game 7 of the ALCS by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-2 and trying up the ALCS 3-3.  Josh Beckett pitched a solid five innings for the Red Sox.  Kevin Youkilis and Jason Varitek hit key  home runs for the Sox.   Just a few short days ago, the Rays were seven outs away from the World Series with a 7-0 lead over the Red Sox.  Now, game 7 will be held Sunday and the winner will go to the World Series.  The Red Sox are 9-0 under Francona with elimination on the line in the Championship Series.
