Think this will help the Yankees? There may be a Chan Ho Park sighting in place of Hughes. If the yankees are serious about 175 inning limit what exactly are they going to do if they make the playoffs? Bench thier best starter this year?

It's almost like they are looking for a reason to go after Cliff Lee.

Boston is 43-28 and are currently trotting an outfield of Daniel Nava, Darnell McDonald and Bill hall...and winning. They have the deepest pitching staff, best bullpen and are leading the league in offensive production. This despite missing Ellsbury and Cameron for most of the season and Beckett for quite a few starts.

And unlike Tampa they may add at the deadline. You are so biased against them that you confuse wishful thinking with reality.

chuck i'm a realist , i look at the scehdule , the hard part of their season is the next 48 games , going .500 over those 48 games will be tough and just going .500 will probably lose ground to the yanks and rays over the same time peroid because the schedule is easier for those 2 teams , the yankees have the easiest by far over this stretch

so after these 48 games boston will have done well if they are within 6 - 7 games of yankees and rays as well

good luck chuck it starts tonight in colorado , my guess this week is a 3 - 3 road trip vs NL west teams

How do you know how tough it is going to be a month and a half in advance? Hell teams can go on bad streaks at the drop of a hat. How does your crystal ball tell who is going to be playing well three weeks from now? In your mind the Yankees and Rays are going to go 31-17 over that same period. That is even more unlikely than boston going 24-24. You are saying that those two teams will play win at a .646 rate when they have played at a .614 (Tampa .609)rate so far this season.

A quick glance at the schedule reveals 13 games against Seattle, Cleveland and baltimore. They will be favs in everyone of those games unless they catch King Felix against someone other than Lester.

Using the marty theory of just guessing what the wins and losses are I have Boston going 28-20 over the next 48.

I don't know if they are willing to part with what Seattle will want. Montero.

I underestimated Gales ability to know in advance that Youkilis was going to get hurt and then Pedroia was going to break his ankle. I am not worthy...

I don't think it was Gales. But maybe a certain somebody who shall remain nameless made a little wager on the Red Sox for the next 48 days. That would certainly explain the rash of bad luck. I'm expecting a special report any minute now with footage of Godzilla destroying fenway Park forcing the Sox to play the remainder of the season on the road.
