After the first Red Sox-Yankees matchup of the season, a 3-2 Red Sox victory in June, I wrote in the recap that these games mean more. As of today, both teams are out of the playoff picture looking in, yet these games still mean something. Of course, The Red Sox are still in the mix, just 2.5 games behind the Blue Jays, and three behind the Mariners pending the result of their game. But regardless of the playoffs, finishing above the Yankees in the standings counts for something, especially if that means putting them in last place.
