Red Sox V. Yankees Round 1

Unless I misread the schedule, today was the only spring meeting between the Red Sox and Yankees. I know it's only spring training and the games really mean diddly, but whether you're a Yankee fan or a Red Sox fan, you don't ever want to lose to the other guy, even if it's meaningless. In typical Yankee/Sox fashion it was a close game with the Yanks eeking out a victory 5-4.
Chalk one up for the good guys! But I can't get too excited. After all, the game ended with Kyle Farnsworth getting Enrique Wilson to fly out to center with the tying run on 1st. Not quite Rivera vs. Ortiz. It'll be a lot different when the teams head north and meet up in early May. It's not too far away.
Here's hoping we see results similar to tonight's game.....
In other Yankee news, Jorge Posada broke his nose during infield practice while playing catch with Kelly Stinnett. Isn't the first thing you learn when you play catch to keep your eye on the ball? The second thing you learn being not to throw it when the other guy isn't looking. "Uh, sorry Jorge. I thought you were looking." Wow, Stinnett really must want to be the starting catcher. Jorge better sleep with one eye open. If you're a Posada fan, you don't need to worry, he'll only miss a few days.
