Who’s the Bigger Disaster Right Now, Red Sox or Yankees? — Sports Survey of the Day
Two of baseball’s most well-known franchises have been giants in the league for a long time, but recently it seems they are both struggling. When it came to the playoffs, you could always count on the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees being in the mix.
