Gone East

We have a series now.

Tony Massarotti, Boston Herald:

Let this be a lesson that we need neither fistfights nor follies, be they on the field or in the bullpens. All we need is the Red Sox and Yankees, nine a side, in the crisp autumn air and in the heart of October.

We have a series now.

We most certainly do.

...

Boston and New York have played 23 games against one another this year and the running score is Yankees 12, Red Sox 11. It is 2-2 in October

...

So now, after a season in which the Red Sox have played 171 games, here is what we have: Boston and New York, best-of-three, winner goes to the World Series and loser goes home.
