Obviously the Sox aren't going to keep up this run production all year.They'll cool off eventually.They're pitching on the other hand,is stacked,front and back. And that's what wins championships

is it just me, or is everything on fox all about the yankees-red sox angle? that's annoying...what about the much closer (but not for long if the braves keep losing) nl east?
Isn't that just dandy, another pitcher goes down.
Why do the Mets insist on the annoying sound effects.
What happened to Rasner?
Did he get in the way of a come-backer of something? We don't get the game here, stuck watching white sox - cubs
I think he got his hand on a come backer, he threw a few pitches and clutched his hand while running off the mound. I think its broke because thats how I help my hand after I broke it.
That sucks. Even as a red sox fan I can feel sympathy for the run of pitching injuries you guys have had this season, although that doesn't excuse the weak offense.
Looks like another long day for your bullpen. (3-run home run David Wright)
MacNut, Do you think this is just a slump that the Yankees will eventually play their way out of, or do you think changes have to be made?
They need to make changes. Need better pitching obviously, but it seems like the players aren't even trying.
Did you see Cano try to throw the guy out at first? He fielded the ball and just tossed the ball over and it bounced and the 1st baseman couldn't control it. He could have easily stopped and made a perfect throw, but he was just being lazy.
Cano just kind of made up for that though with a solo home run to right, but still. That doesn't excuse him from being that lazy in the field.
The hitting will work itself out, the pitching has to get healthy, Hughes is coming back soon, Clemans might give enough to slow the bleeding but it all comes down the the bats. I think the team can turn it around but they need to do it soon. What they need is to resign Bernie Williams.
edit: Home run by Cano
Meyers on second: ground rule double.

Maybe it's due to lack of fear. All these guys know they are never going to be benched no matter how badly they play or how little effort they give because they are paid too much and they 'are too big of a name'.
Although, you could make the same argument about most teams. However, I think it helps teams to have some youngsters around pushing the veterans hard to keep them honest.

Also, it seems that alot of the players the Yankees have acquired in recent years are not 'Yankee type' players.
When the Yankees had guys like Paul O'Neil, Scott Broscus, Bernie Williams etc they scared me to death even though none of these players were necessarily the best at their position.
Recently it seems they have just tried to assemble an all-star team and gotten away from 'yankee-type' players.

Exactly. You can't buy a championship. You can get all the all-star players that you want, but if there's no team chemistry or anything, then you're not going to win ball games.
You can say that the Sox have been becoming more like the Yankees because we've gone out and picked up some big contracts with Matsuzaka, Drew, and Lugo. But we also have Pedroia and pitchers like Papelbon and Lester who have helped out a lot. And we have Jacoby Ellsbury who might be pushing Crisp for his job by the end of the year.
The farm program plays a huge part of baseball, and you can't rely just on signing big-name free agents to make your team win. You need to bring in new guys to help compete with the vets and make everyone play better.
Go Mets!
15 days for Beckett in May with a 10 game lead,I'll take that no problem.Schilling will end up there at some point.Key word with the Red Sox pitching is depth.
