Tonight marks the beginning of yet another chapter in the storied history of the Sawx/Yanks rivalry. Arguably, sports' greatest dogfight will be set in the cramped, dirty yet lovable confines of Fenway Paaaark as lefty Jon "No-Hit" Lester does battle with Joba "Wakee" Chamberlain.After getting off to rough starts, both teams finally appear to be rounding into shape. Boston comes in winners of 7 straight including a hammering of the Orioles on Patriot's Day and the Yanks blasted their way to three straight triumphs, two of which came against old friend Jason Giambi and the A's.
The scene on Yawkey Way will no doubt be electric as we are at last feeling the first real days of spring.
Prediction: The BoSox take 2 of 3 from their hated foes as Big Papi snaps out of his homerun slump with 2 big ones. Joba drowns his sorrows with a couple of cold ones after tonight's "L," but wisely opts for a car service and CC "you at the buffet line" Sabathia is caught dining on a few Fenway Franks and a five-dollar footlong in the dugout as he enjoys the weekend off.
