Salvage Effort...postponed

Last month's disastrous five game series debacle against the Yankees at Fenway Park effectively ended any chance that the Red Sox had at getting into the playoffs this season. The Red Sox get one last crack at the Yankees this weekend, in a four game set at the Stadium.

Tonight's game was postponed because of rain and will be made up on Sunday as part of a day-night double header. This is in addition to the double header already scheduled for Saturday, which was made necessary because of another rainout earlier in the season.

While it's true that the Yankees magic number is six in order to clinch the American League East, this series is important for the Red Sox. It's a matter of pride, and proving to themselves that they still can compete with the Yankees.

Entering play on Saturday, the Red Sox are 11 1/2 games behind New York for the division and 7 1/2 games behind Minnesota for the AL Wild Card.

Update:
Saturday Game 1: Boston 5, @ New York 2
Saturday Game 2:
@ New York 7, Boston 5
Sunday Game 1: Boston 6, @ New York 3

Sunday Game 2: Boston 5, @ New York 4

Yes, 3 of 4 is good but made highly irrelevant by the Red Sox worst in the majors month of August - highlighted by the inexcusable five game sweep at the hands of your Yankees. At Fenway, no less.

There's always next year.
