Red Sox will win it all, yankees don't have the pitching to go deep, the sox can call up young guys if they need them.
I think they were bad earlier in the year because their pitchers were injured. Now they got Clemens, Pettite, Mussina and Wang. If they get to the playoffs they could be a very dangerous team.
I think you are right about Mussina but Pettite and Wang have been having good outings but it seems like every time they pitch we don't score enough runs.
But I think come playoff time if we make it we could be dangerous because any of those 4 pitchers can go out on any given day and throw a great game.
Remember Wang lead the league in wins last year and was pretty much the only strong pitcher we had, he carried us.

just stats, when they go head to head, who wins?
they've only played one series this year. they lost 2 of 3, yes, the middle game was postponed. tigers have rogers back and mags is hitting like a beast right now, 2 big differences between then and now. regular season is meaningless though. if the tigers beat up the sox next time, i'll not be on here talking sh!t, nor does it matter to me if boston beats detroit in the regular season.
it'll all come to the playoffs and i really do hope they meet at some point -- in the ALCS would be best.
i still don't think the yanks will the wildcard -- they are just too inconsistent to be a legitimate factor imo.
