Looking Ahead

Ok, the Sox finished off their latest road trip with a winning record and now here come the Yankees to Fenway. Presently the Sox are 6.5 games back of the Yankees with a chance to cut into that lead. Is this possible? Of course it is possible, but recent history says the Sox will probably fall further back.

From 2003 the Sox are 62-62 vs the Yanks. Dead even, but a further breakdown shows that in August and September the Sox are only 16-27 (7-13 at home). That is not what I want to see coming into this series.
