Schilling is due back next week

Not worried right now, Brother James.

Hi kids! Well 7.5 games up in the A.L. East with roughly 60 games to go. I'll take it. Here's the crusher though, the Yankees have the Indians, Detroit and Angels and BoSox in August. Then it's a healthy platter of Tampa Bay, Baltimore and remarkably more K.C. in September. 8 games against Detroit in August! Holy cow. Red Sox have 7 games vs. L.A. in August. So basically we will have good idea where things stand before September rolls around. That is unfortunate news for the Yanks brass because the trading deadline will have passed, meaning if things go south the A.L. East traveling all-star team of legends (Yanks) will all be playing golf soon. Roger Clemens is 3-4 w/ a E.R.A. of 3.72. Oh yeah and he's a money-grubbing slut. Who played 13 years for the Red Sox. Carl Pavano pitched in 11 innings this year in 2 starts, making $10 mil this year. No word yet if he'll ever pitch again seeing as how he's on permanent vacation. These are two guys the Red Sox wanted to sign in their last available free agent terms, thank G-O-D the Yankees beat us to it, don't forget Jose Contreras too we wanted him real bad. A gentle reminder that it's all about pitching in the post-season.

7.5

4.5

New York has 47 runs in its last three games

need i say more?

7 and a half

All-Star Break (Time to go home and bang the "real" wife)

-Hi Kids!

-Well Sox just got swept by the Tigers and didn't look too good. Youk is hurt, schilling is so hurt nobody's even talking about it. Beckett and Dice-K are coming back to earth.

-You have to wonder where this all ends up. begginning of the season I predicted Sox would win division by five games and I think that will hold true.

-(I also predicted 60 homers for Papi, and 50 for matsui) whoops

-Speaking of papi, something isn't right, he's not single-handedly winning games like he used to. When it was happening I think we were all taking that for granted, big time!

are we still doing this?

- kinda' wish the Yankees would just hurry up and die. not quite .500 at the all star break is fucking ridiculous. and thanks ARod for having an amazing year in a season that doesn't matter, one hell of a way to leave new york...

- it's looking like the only thing i have to look forward to this fall is:

"Living in America!"

-12 games up and we still can't believe it. By the way, our shortshop has two hits this month. Something tells me the Sox haven't begun to gel offensively but it's coming along.

-Mike Lowell, we brought him to take his salary off Florida's hands in the Beckett trade, he comes to Boston and nobody is even sure he'll make the team. The Mike proceeds to have the two best offensive years of his life (did i mention we brought him here as a defensive gold glover with no bat). He leads the best team in the majors in RBI's and tied for 1st in homers. This is like bringing in Cher to make a movie and she ends up getting an Oscar. (oh wait that happened)

-Congrats on #350 Roger!

-Dice-K, Beckett, Papelbon, Lester, Gabbard, Delcarmen, Okijima. Nothing like young arms to make you feel good about the future.
