Who cares about Red Sox-Yankees

Red Sox vs. Yankees in the final regular season series of the year. Sounds good, right?

Wrong.

What a useless series.

And who would typically say that when these two hated rivals face off?

But there's simply nothing to play for. The Sox will not be heading to the playoffs, but the Yankees will.

The only thing New York has to play for is to win the AL East. Oh, yeah, and the top record in the American League.

But at what cost? Will the Yankees rest some guys, or go all out to simply win the Division? That's why Joe Girardi gets paid the big bucks.

After tonight's rainout, the Yanks-Sox will have a doubleheader on Saturday and finish up on Sunday.

But is anyone -- even the diehard fans -- going to sit glued in front of the TV to watch this meaningless series? If you are, get a hobby. And fast.

Let the playoffs begin. This 162-game regular season is such a grind, not to mention those four-plus hour Red S0x-Yankees game.

I may never say this again, but who cares about a Red Sox-Yankees series.
