sometimes I dont kow if the people who are arguing Boston v New York really mean it or its because of they keep reading how much of a rivalry it is. Not pointing any folks out, I just get that strange feeling sometimes.
Anyway, I think the Yanks and Boston rotations stack up well against each other with their strengths and weaknesses. I think the Sox own the edge in middle relief but the Yanks own the edge in the 9th. The Yanks middle is suck ass, and frankly until Foulke proves he's over his brain fart from last year, I doubt anyone wants to see their team turn the ball over to a young guy, regardless of how promising he may be.
As for the Offense, I think its pretty obvious the Yanks own an edge, just varies according to whether one is a Yank fan or not =P. As long as the Sox have Manny protecting Ortiz, though, I dont see why they cant combine for 80 HR, 230 RBI and 200 Runs scored.
