 BOSTON (AP) - The uniforms will be familiar when baseball's biggest rivalry resumes Thursday night. Some players inside them won't be. Chien-Ming Wang, Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera will be wearing Yankees road jerseys. Chad Bradford, Alex Cora and Adam Stern will be sporting Red Sox home outfits.
Both teams have new faces in a strange season. New York plummeted before resurfacing in the AL East race, and Boston leads the division with a struggling bullpen and without Curt Schilling, who was activated Wednesday after going on the disabled list April 29.
One thing is unchanged: New York vs. Boston means energy, entertainment and fireworks like last season's brawl between Jason Varitek and Alex Rodriguez, and this year's confrontation between Gary Sheffield and a Fenway Park fan.
