Then allow me to correct myself.
The Yankees overall have better players than the Red Sox. Almost any position the Yankees have is an upgrade over the Red Sox.
Varitek vs. Posada -- Posada
Ortiz vs. Giambi -- Giambi by a very large margin
Walker vs. Soriano -- Soriano by an even larger large margin
Nomar vs. Jeter -- Tie. Nomar has slightly better numbers, Jeter has better plays.
Mueller vs. Boone -- Boone
Manny vs. Sierra -- Manny by far
Damon vs. Bernie -- Bernie by a good margin
Nixon vs. Matsui -- Matsui
Pitching I won't bother listing the pitching but it goes Pedro > any one Yankee, every other Yankee > every other Red Sox
The Yankees will win the division this year.
The Red Sox will not get the wild card.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
