Hey, I'm back! (Here's a preemptive "shut up" for JR.) I've been in Orlando for most of the last week with my dad and haven't been able to check in regularly. Sox lost last night in a well-pitched game. How do we lose a 1-0 pitchers' duel to Tampa Bay??!?!
Sox still have the best record in baseball, but they now have the smallest division lead in the AL. Yankees are only 5 games back, after both teams went 7-3 in their last 10. They meet up for a weekend series starting Friday, which I think wraps up the regular season series for them. Dice-K, Beckett and Schill for the Sox; Pettitte, Wang, and Hughes for the Evil Empire.
Sox only have 17 games left and 5 of those are against Tampa Bay. Yankees have 3 against Tampa Bay, but 6 against the O's.
