5 Star Hotels Berlin - 2008 - Style boston Red Sox - New York Yankees - Blood Feud,

With the World Series Champs looking to hold off their fierce rivals, should be an-out MLB affair. So what else is new, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are set to wage battle?

Big problem for the Boston Red Sox, no Beckett. Star pitcher Josh Beckett is hurt with his back giving him trouble. And they may start the MLB season slowly, no small feat. Looking to repeat, the Boston Red Sox are World Series Champs.

Further depleting the Red Sox pitching rotation, starting pitcher Kurt Shilling will be on the shelf during the start of the season, also. Where the travel may impede their energy in the early stages of the MLB season, the Red Sox begin their 2008 MLB season in Japan.

Or a pennant race, as there are a lot of young arms and minds in the rotation that have not been through the fire versus the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees starting pitching is a big question mark. And may very well be headed back in 2008, faced that reality last year, not used to being in second-place, the New York Yankees.

While the New York Yankees will fight it out for the American League Wildcard, i look for the Red Sox to repeat as division champs. The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will undoubtedly be first and second again in the American League East. But it has only bought disappointment since last winning the World Series back in 2000, the Yankees have a huge payroll.
