Can We Beat Boston?

I've been quiet lately, I was busy and the Bombers weren't really worth talking about. Yes they won and A-Rod was back, but look back at the wins. Not much to get excited about.

The Yankees who have been playing .660 ball the last 3 weeks are facing the acid test, the Boston Red Soxs. So far they are failing the test. Last night shut out 7-0 and tonight they working toward another loss.

The Red Soxs, the rival, the nemesis, have the Yankees number so far this year. The Yankees if they continue are down 6-3 in the 6th and on their way to loss # 7 this year out of GAD, 7 games played.

So explain those Yankee wins away, right. Wrong The Yankees played AA teams disguised as Major League Clubs. Of the Twins, Indians, O's Rays, Jays and Rangers we have this:
Twins - pitching mediocre due to loss of star talent in Off season, Mauer can't bat the team to victory
Indians - MLB Team with pitching staff on life support due to injuries and infectious disease.
Orioles - Can't bat as well as the Yankee......yet
Rays - Yankees saw their lesser pitchers who are no use to pitching in rain.
Jays - It's still Hockey season, it's hard to play to an empty house.
Rangers - Not back on roids...yet

The only hopefully win the Yankees managed was against the Phillies, the hope of a team improving.

It's now the top of the 7th and the Yankees have closed to 6-5. Phil Hughes is pitching and if he continues we could pull out a win. I am hopeful because Hughes can go long and Boston is out of solid relief except for Papelbon. IF stupidity does not descend on Joe G and his staff I could go to sleep a happy lady.
