The Boston Red Sox's Opening Day was on Sunday, April 3 against their rival, the New York Yankees. Sure, it's fun to see the Sox and Yanks go head to head early inn the season and obviously you'd rather see the Yankees than the Orioles, Devil Rays or the Blue Jays but playing the Yankees in six out of the first nine games may be a bit much. When you picture the Red Sox and the Yankees playing, you see an intense, high stakes game where the outcome actually means something. This season started with back to back losses to the Bronx Bombers and it was no big deal to Red Sox fans because it was so early in the season. |
