After a day of rest the Yankees get ready to resume their rivalry with the Red Sox in Boston.  And, the teams are exactly in the same places they were 10 games ago with the Red Sox 6-1/2 games behind the Yankees.  That 6-1/2 games gives the Yankees a very simple goal for the weekend: don't get swept. It really just boils down to that because even if they lose two-of-three they leave Boston ahead by 5-1/2 games.

But, the Yankees will certainly try and do more than that.  For what it's worth, I think the Yankees have the matchup advantage in the first two games with Pettitte facing Penny and Burnett facing Tazawa.  Boston starts Beckett on Sunday, but the Yankees have C.C. so that should be a great game.  

The Red Sox will be primed to return the favor from two weekends ago and they really need to sweep to get back into the AL East race.  It should be a fun weekend and expect a lot of blogging and tweeting.
