Red Sox v. Yankees This Weekend
The Red Sox-Yankee rivarly goes head-to-head in a few hours, depending on the weather. If my calculations are correct, and there is no reason to think they would be, the Magic Number for the Red Sox to clinch the AL East is 21. To clinch a Wild Card spot: 11. The Yankees and their fans fully expect to win this weekend, and to win the division, and the World Series, and the War in Iraq, etc. The Red Sox want these things too, but the team's real passion lies is seeing how many different ways a major league ballplayer can grow facial and head hair.

Let the craziness begin.
