I love how

I love how sportswriters claimed that it was the end of the Yankees after they lost the first 8 games against the Red Sox...Clearly that didn't happen.

I love how sportswriters claim that this is the end for the Red Sox. They might make you think as if this is the great depression...as if the Red Sox will continue their 6 game losing streak for the rest of the year.

Usually these things balance out in a week or two...by that I mean it won't seem as if the Yankees are invincable or that the Red Sox can't do anything right. The Yankees will fall into a slump again and the Red Sox will get hot again.

There are still atleast 7 games to be played between the two teams.

Do I think 6 1/2 is a lot...yes. Do Yankees fans have a right to be happy and excited...yep....do Red Sox fans have reason to be concerned...yep. However, rarely does a 4 games series in early August mean much for a Red Sox-Yankees series. Usually it's how you perform in the fall and in the last at bat the means something.
