Most of you probably didn't see it and didn't care to, but the Red Sox/Rangers game was a gem last night. Both starting pitchers pitched really well, for so early in the season. Some nifty defensive plays, and every AB was important, as the final score was 2-1. I was very impressed with Beckett. He could've gotten very frustrated, as the Sox didn't get any offense going for him early, but he didn't.

I'll agree with Mick. Start the playoffs. The Sox are in, the Yankees are out. Pretty sure that won't be the case in October. Dan won't even bother to respond to this until the All-Star break.

I saw part of the BoSox game. Unfortunately, I also saw part of the Yankees game too.

Papelbon sure was impressive. Looks like Keith Foulke and his 7 1/2 mil a year might be getting a lot of late pine time. Gotta kinda admire a manager that would make the decision this early in the season to use what he thinks is his best closer instead of his highest paid one. Of course, the first time that Papelbon blows one- and he will- his sainthood will be null and void.

I can't wait for Wells to re-join the Sox. Build up the ol' team unity.

Now, for the mathematically disadvantaged and Cubs's fans, is it not true that the Yankees are in first place? Is it also not true that the BoSox are next to last?
Classic.

Sigh...thanks alot o' Juggling One.

I've almost gotten to the point of considering their contributions, combined, to be essentially a 5th starter. If the Cubs get more out them, it's a bonus. If they can get Wade Miller in the rotation, keep Zambrano off the internet, and find a refill on Maddux's "fountain of youth" water bottle, they just might give Houston a good battle for second.

So, in the meantime:

Second, this was at the end of the article recaping the President's visit to Cincinnati to throw out the first pitch:

Before the game, Bush visited the Reds' clubhouse and shook hands with each player in front of his locker. He received a black bat from Ken Griffey Jr., who patted the president on the back of his right shoulder.

Then, he was off to visit the Cubs for another quick go-around. As Bush entered the clubhouse of a team that hasn't won the World Series since 1908, he said, "So, this is the year, right?"

So far.
I predict that the Cubs will have a better year than Bush. So far, everything is right on track.

Rangers set record against Detroit.
Tonight, the Rangers have given up 6 home runs in 4 innings.

I can't believe Dan's not posting about Pedro plunking 3 guys last night. The Mets hit 5 batters total. Then when the Nats pitcher hits his first guy of the night, he's immediately tossed, along with Frank Robinson. Go figure.
