So Granderson gets hit by pitch after hitting homer. Talk about a team of gutless players: Lester, Beckett, Papelbon. And after seeing the cheap shots by the Bruins at the end of game 4 last night. Maybe it is just a Boston thing?

was grill banned and back as Rick?

With the WildCard, you have to be good against whole league, not just your division.

And I still say, Tampa will make the playoffs over the Red Sox.

So Boston isn't that important to me. As don't think they have the depth to make it through the whole season.

With Joba Chamberlain sidelined for the entire year, I don't think the Yankees have enough depth to make it through the whole season. Who is the bridge to get to Rivera? No one outside of Sabathia in the rotation is going 8+. Maybe they can slip Freddy Garcia in there?

Also, Grill, Granderson was hit with a 77mph curveball on the foot. I think he can probably suck it up. A gutless pitcher would've hit him in the head with 94mph fastball.

Yep. I think we're on name number six now. It's sad.

How about Robertson with an ERA of 1. Anyway, back to the game, with Yankees still winning 2-0!

Maybe, though repositioning his place in the bullpen might be risky.

2-1

Interesting approach by Swisher...

Back to square one. Sabathia looked great through six, but most of his pitches have seemed to flattened out this inning. Swisher's stumble/collapse didn't help either.

3-2 Red Sox!

4-2!

Seven run inning!

7-2

SWEEP!

Ortiz is a beast right now, the commentators said it best. There is David Ortiz and then there's Big Papi, Big Papi has returned!

25-10 over the entire series. Dam Yankee Umpires, its a conspiracy. And Beckett wins with a fever of 102 and a stomach virus for Sabathia to go 0-3 against the Sox this year.

Sox vs. Toronto and Yankees vs. Cleveland, and Baltimore vs. TB, Yanks could be in third by the end of the weekend. I'm not even sure how you can not be worried Grill. all the experts are talking about the severe weakness in the Yankee's Bullpen (You of all people should know most of their wins have been because of the Home Run-Run ratio and not the pitching) Now the pitching is softer, and the hitting is settling down.

But he hit into a double play just as easily, so stop bitching. PS, your pitching stats are pretty dumb. The sox had awful pitching the first two weeks, and the worst record in baseball. Taking out the first two weeks the pitching its like this.

Beckett- 2.14
Lester- 3
Bucholtz- 3.26
Lackey- 3.67
Wakefield- 4.84
Dice- 2.00

The Boston Starting Pitching has been on fire for the last 2 and half months with a combined league leading 3.15 ERA

1st, guess you missed the beginning on the argument on Jeter, and then later Gonzalez...as the ump screwed Jeter on bad pitches, as per the tv strike box....and saying that pitch counts make a big difference.

And on the ERA, all I did was post the year ERA, sorry but that is the ERA. Or do you also want to adjust for the 4 game losing streak Boston had at Fenway last week. Things balance out, but it should be interesting if they can hold your ERA for the season.

Anyway, end results, is the Boston hitters are set up great for the Yankees. But as it is 60 games into the season and you have been wrong so far on the Yankees and Baltimore and maybe Tampa, I will wait and see what happens. So Boston is now 1 win ahead in the loss column after a 3 game sweep, I can live with that.

Wow, Congrats as you are 1 game ahead in the loss column on June 10, 2011.

Also 3 games ahead in the Win column, that stat is a little more important down the road then losses, especially when it comes down to a division, haha

Its actually a 7 game sweep, I haven't been wrong yet, cry some place else, or talk about baseball, And accurately, if you dare!

Nope, as all knowledgeable baseball fans knows, the loss column is the most important numbers, as wins in future games can be made up, but losses can never be.

But you go ahead and stick with the numberf that makes you feel better.

And I will stick with the number that all knowledgeable baseball people consider.

Boston Red Sox > 26 Losses, so far in 2011
New York Yankees > 27 Losses, so far in 2011
Yup, Yankees are only 1 Loss Behind, so I sure hope Rerd Sox don't lose tonight or back to where we started.

Sorry Gun, I was only thinking the Orioles were going to be a good team this year, based on your comments, but they have been in last place over their 1st 60 games of the season.

Bye the way, you should have said 6th, at least right now.

PS. Is that accurate enough for you? >>>>>(And accurately, if you dare!)

lol well I was thinking it was because everybody was ignoring the moron. I think I will put this nick on my ignore list so I don't have to read his nonsense.

As for the season, the Red Sox are looking great right now. They have the best offense and their pitching, I think is getting better.
