The biggest rivalry in baseball-and perhaps the biggest rivalry in American sports-is renewed tonight as the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox meet at Fenway Park.
With the Red Sox out of the playoff hunt-not mathematically, but at ten games back of the last AL wild-card spot, they need a miracle that isn't going to occur-the stakes aren't as high as they have been on a lot of other occasions.
But even with diminished stakes with regards to the division or AL wild-card standings, intensity and excitement will not be lacking for this matchup.
And while the Red Sox are just trying to avoid a losing season at this point, a series win could help make things tighten up again in the AL East, where the Yankees are currently five and a half games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays and six ahead of the Tampa Bay Rays.
