    Sabathia vs Lackey
    Hughes vs Beckett
    Burnett vs Lester

    Have to give the pitching advantage to the Yankees in the first game and the Sox in the other two. I don't think Beckett or Lester have missed a Yankee series yet. I'm pretty pumped for this series. It's getting to the end now, and I'd like the Sox to get a nice lead on the Yankees before they start resting guys. I know management doesn't care about winning the division, and I agree if it's at the expense of being ready for October, but I still want it.

    I haven't watched a full game since before the Oakland series. I may not start again this week yet. I'll almost surely find something else to do Thursday night.

    No Nunez huh? Glad Jeters knee isnt bothering him, if it was im sure he'd be DH instead.

    CC struggling again. Can't put the hitters away.

    Bases loaded, after a walk.

    3-2 now. The queers' lineup is good. CC doesn't look sharp.

    Wow, what a performance by CC Sabathia. When the ump is squeezing you and you have to throw 128 pitches (!!!) to get through 6 innings, striking out 10 and holding Boston to 2 runs is impressive.

    Hitting 96mph on your 127th pitch is just nuts.

    lol, why get mad if you're hit? They just put one of the Yankees' worst hitters on to lead off the inning in a big game.

    If you're Cervelli, you need to be happy if you're hit, not make a scene.

    Cervelli's little hand-clap was uncalled for, not surprised they threw at him.

    Lackey and his underbite are funny.

    The irony of a Red Sox getting upset about a player clapping his hands after a homerun is almost too much for me to bear. Has Lackey ever seen Ortiz hit?

    I'd be angry if it wasn't so funny that a) Lackey put one of the worst hitters in baseball on first because he's a little girl and b) Francona let Lackey stay out there for 120 pitches.

    The irony is that Cervelli advanced to second on a wild pitch and later scored. Fuck Lackey and his stupid face.

    If I were Cervelli I would've vehemently clapped my hands and stomped on home plate.

    That would've been badass, but you know Saltalajairengkaojia would've took exception leading to a benches-clearing brawl.
