The Yankees better be careful or they'll look up and the season will be over. Besides, the allstar break is right around the corner, so rest for everybody. Yesterday was strange. It was almost like Pedro was going easy on people, but we all know he wouldn't do that, except maybe to Ortiz and Manny. I thought the problem was that he wasn't pitching inside as a courtesy, and was suffering because he couldn't control the plate, but then he threw that ball at Loretta.
Who knows - when he's on, he's on, but he has his shaky moments...

believe it or not, all pitchers will have a bad game once in awhile. But your probably right, Boston and Fenway don't produce a lot of runs.

The AL Central is annihilating the NL Central. The Twins have gone 15-1 and have gained 1/2 game in the standings. They just held the NL's best hitting team, the Dodgers, to 7 runs in three games at the Dome. The Tigers have turned the Astros into a Cape Cod League team in 2 days, not to mention what the White Sox
and Detroit did to the heralded Cardinals.Check out your paper's Last 10 column. The Padres and Marlins are the only NL teams to be above .500 at 6-4. The Indians are the only team below .500. The Red Sox are blitzing everybody that has their pitchers "hit". No wonder Clemens went back to the NL--he's just a couple weeks early.

It's the routine pop-ups that he has problems with.

The best part is he doesn't even look like he's trying when he throws - no running starts or anything, though I'm guessing the short left field probably helps with that a bit

However, right now, the NL is slumping in general. The Royals even have a better record than the Cards this past week.

Nice to see Lastings Milledge has got that leftfield thing down pat.

That's been his Modus Operandi after a bad start in the past...

First thing I thought of too. Whenever he has trouble getting his fastball into the 90s a DL "rest" usually follows.

And we all know their "great" record against the top tier teams in the AL (ChiSox, Yanks, and BoSox).

I was wondering if any baseball fans outside of NY look foward to this series, beacuse this is big shit in NY and they usually put on a good show.

Remember that NESN commercial they used to play with all the "real people" w/ that one kid that said "did you just see the catch that coco made" ??
Well, they aired it alot when he was on the DL (after playing for like a week or two)...
I guess we'll have to endure watching that commercial again now... since he finally made a catch that's commercial worthy...
I like the guy dressed up in the fireman outfit... But the "He's so intense on the mound", and "He's got heart" comments are pretty lame...

Very lame. It's good to see Coco making plays like this though. Damon never would have got to that ball.

I was right. The streak stopped but we should've won Game 3 for the series. See you in the Series.

Yeah, it was a pretty interesting weekend... (cept for saturdays game)...
Yesterday's game was too close for comfort...
Hanley looks good... he looked awful in the couple of games he played with boston last september...
Willis looks phenomenal on the mound... he'd look better in a RedSox uniform
but I don't want to see any more propects going to the Marlins...

Actually Sanchez, before you guys shelled him, shut out the Yanks at Yankee Stadium. Hopefully he pans out.

Yankees won by 2 touchdowns & a 2 point conversion last night
Was that crown LOUD! My first Yankee/met game I've been to. Not even the redsox/yankee home opener last season I went to was this loud.
Go gayrod! I wonder who lit the fire under his ass.
