Jesse Spector is the host for this episode, which features a quick breakdown of the pitching matchups for the Yankees-Red Sox series this week at Fenway Park before Jon Tayler of Sports Illustrated stops by for the Yankee Haters' Ball for a very cordial discussion and some perspective on Boston's hot start to the season, plus a barrage of references to some playoff series in 2004 that really doesn't sound familiar to us at all and we're pretty sure he was just hallucinating. Anyway, this is episode 49, which was Tim Wakefield's number with the Red Sox, and you may remember Wakefield as the pitcher who served up the pennant-winning home run to Aaron Boone in 2003, which was, according to our records, the last time the Yankees and Red Sox met in the postseason.
