Correct about the stadium direction. Having just returned from a whirlwind tour attending Games 1,2, 4 and 5 I can safetly say it may not matter which way the wind is blowing, the Sox look like they are content to dog it out the rest of the series. Yesterdays game was a prime example. I hope it isnt the case, but I fear it is.
Also we sat in the Upper Deck near the foul pole in Yankee Stadium (felt like we could touch the F14s flying over) and I dont know how much affect the wind has there. It was windy outside that night, but couldnt really tell inside the stadium. Certainly not a scientific analysis just my casual observation.
