Here We Go Again

Here we go again. Sox/Yankees tonight at Fenway. This is Boston's big chance. This is Boston's big chance to gain some breathing room. The Thrill tonight against Mr. Wang, no offense. No contest , right. I don't care how well Wang is pitching, I'll take Curt every time. But now, c'mon. Even before, I would have put my money on Schilling. Even before the Yankee line-up was decimated I would have picked the Sox. Now, Murderers Row looks more like Mendoza row. Looks more like the Royals. More like the Knicks. More like the Liberty. I can't wait to see the beating, Michael Barrett style. All Schill has to do is get past A-Rod. That's it. Once Schilling gets past A-Rod, he faces the likes of Cano, Stinnet, Phillips, Melki, Bernie, and Cairo. Rally killers one and all. The Sox line-up, right now, is flat out better. The Greek God of Walks has better leadoff numbers that Gaymon. Lowell and the Captain are hitting the tar out of the ball. Meanwhile, Gay-Rod is hitting into game losing double plays. And to top it all off, the Red Sox closer is better too. Who woulda thunk that. Papelbon is the premiere closer in baseball today. Period. That includes all relievers coming out to Metallica's Sandman. All of this spells bad news for the Bombers. By Thursday morning, the Sox should be up 4 1/2 games. By September, who knows. The Yankees are leaking from every oriface, ebola style. I've said it before, and I'll say it agian, the New York Yankees do not make the playoffs. The Sox better step on their necks and keep stepping on 'em, Phil Leotardo style. They better take care of buisness now, before they miss their chance.

While I blather on about the Yanks this year, the real problem is next year and the year after. Defining move: the Red Sox waited and got Boom Boom Beckett, The Bombers jumped at Pavano and Wright, two guys who were always #4 starters, and what do they have to show for it? By showing patience and getting the real gem, the Sox distance themselves and still underspend the Yanks. Mr. Wang, no offense, is a great find, no doubt, but they need 3 more quality young players in the mix. The Big Eunuch went from Show Stopper to flood gate opener. The fact that they have no young outfielders is a joke! Unlimited money for Latin scouting and what do they have to show for it? Put a fork in 'em. They're all done
