And so it begins

Game 8 of the 2003 ALCS begins tonight.

Not really, but game one of the 19 times the Sox and Yankees will meet this year is tonight. I know, I know, this is the most over-hyped rivalry in all of sports, but these meetings are always tense, intense, emotional deals. And unlike other rivalries, which are mainly press-fed, this one even the players recognize.

And these games really do matter. The Sox and the Yankees are the two best teams in the AL and are so evenly matched (and we can't expect the Sox's August swoon anymore), that they are likely to end up within a few games of each other in the standing.

Spring, and the baseball season, officially begin tonight.
