Thank you, Mr. Theo Epstein, for sending my beloved Red sox into battle with almost no quality pitching against the Yankee offensive juggernaut. Repeat this next year and you can join old friend Dan Duquette, who once said that Roger Clemens was on the downside of his career and therefore not worth signing to a new contract. This was 3 teams, 1 world series, and 5 CY Youngs ago!
Simple equation. Red Sox have to win the next two games or the A.L. East is done. 2 wins and the horror show of the last 2 days means relatively little, because the Yanks will leave town up 2 1/2 games, with 4 more games between the two teams. Lose and the Sox have to struggle for the wild card, which doesn't seem likely. I believe in Schilling, (which is why he isn't even pictured), but Wells has to be vintage Wells to pull this thing off.
Is it any wonder I drank so much last night I have a hangover today?

I went to bed early last night. Just incase you did too, I'll C&P this for you from ESPN MLB site.
HR: J Giambi 2 (36, 4th inning off C Schilling 2 on, 0 Out; 10th inning off C Hansen 0 on, 0 Out); J Posada (16, 10th inning off C Hansen 1 on, 1 Out)
Is the lead now 5 1\2?
Or do you prefer being 4 behind the White Sox? And only 3 behind the Twins?
And by the way, Sav, you guys had more payroll on the field today than we did.
So that must mean the Bosux won?
You mean that they have to play the game, not just throw their wallets on the field?
