Welpe was giving a series update after Game 5 (3 games to 2), and Lcubed was giving us a scoring update from last night's game (4 goals to 2).

But the real reason I'm posting is to goad JR into an appearance now that my woeful Sox are limping into Yankee Mausoleum, I mean, Stadium tonight; and to bemoan Dan's complete disappearance from this yearly thread.

And after a 1-8 start, the Rays are ahead of both of them in the standings.

Guess I got that wrong, since the final score of last night's game was 3-2.

You've got an awful big Florida bias for just having moved down there a week and a half ago! Next thing, you'll probably be rooting for the Lightning over the Bruins. Traitor!

Aren't many things worse to call a fella than a "Bruins Fan". I was a Montreal Expos fan till they got yanked away. Didn't follow it [baseball] a lick till I moved two years ago. And outside of the Rays and who they are playing, I really don't follow it very closely now, either.

Ok, back to baseball, then. Sox took the first game of the series from the Yanks last night. Pap didn't even blow the save. He looks terrible, tho. Bard struggled, too, which is more worrying to me, since he's the presumptive closer next season (or later this season if Papelbon implodes).

Posada adds a sad chapter to the final phase of his career.
Another example of an aging player the Yankees kept too long.

Of course, with the salary that the NYY elevated him to no one else can afford to take him off their hands!

I was actually referring to the was the end of the series. I had a typo. I should have said 4 games to 3. I overlooked the date and time on Welpe's original post.
