Red Sox fans shouldn't be so confident

From Cheyenne Perry, our intern at The Daily News:

So far this offseason, the Boston Red Sox have acquired outfielder Carl Crawford and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. And the Yankees didn’t get Cliff Lee. For these reasons, many Red Sox fans feel their team will win the World Series, and that the Yankees are done.

Well guess what, Red Sox fans? The Phillies now have Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Cole Hamels and Roy Oswalt, not to mention their offensive firepower. Even if the Red Sox go to the World Series — which they won’t — the Phillies are going to win.

As for the Yankees, we are still a great team and still contenders. And as we should all know, the Yankees will do something to get better pitchers. Yes, the Yankees are getting older, but we still have CC Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixieira, Robinson Cano and Derek Jeter.

The Red Sox will win the AL East, but they are not much better than the Yankees. Boston still needs to watch out for New York. The Phillies are the most dominant baseball team, as of right now. Yankees fans can’t wait to get title No. 28, so World Series here we come.
