"Here's the perspective on this small but scintillating segment of the pennant race: The last time the Red Sox left New York, they were four and a half games ahead of the Yankees.

In a little more than two months, the archrivals have experienced a 13-game swing in the standing. Does that have a familiar ring to it?"
