This is real Baseball Armageddon. The Cleveland Indians vs. the Boston Red Sox. This ain’t no namby-pamby, emotionally charged, historical showdown of two stratospherically hyped and miserably mismatched Yankees and Red Sox teams. This is real baseball. Hitting against hitting. Pitching against pitching. A delicious mixture of small ball and Home Runs. Sabathia vs. Beckett. Carmona vs. Dice K. Sizemore vs. Youkilis. Hafner vs. Ortiz. Everybody vs. Manny.
Oh, the hotness. The television coverage will be muted – no Yankees for the commentators to massage to the inevitably disappointing climax. But that’s the only thing that will be muted.
@#$*! the Yankees.
