It seems like everyone wants to see the Yankees face the Red Sox in the ALDS, and why not? Both teams reached 100 wins this season, with the Red Sox finishing with a league-best 108.

Dan Shaughnessy addressed the topic last week.
“Admit it, Sox fans. Deep down, in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want the Yankees on that Left Field Wall next weekend. Simply stated, the New England sports world is a better place if the Red Sox are playing the vaunted Bronx Bombers in the American League Division one week from today.
