Luis and Freddy looked great. They're the real MA royalty.

GREAT game last night. Arroyo settled down after some initial trouble and the Red Sox crushing offense made itself felt again.

Regarding the Yankee’s fans; just go to a game and take in their insufferable nature. That will cure you.

BTW Ken, tough loss by the Mutts last night, they looked despondent.

I'm glad they lost....the faint flicker of hope I had until the 9th inning was extinguished. Now I hope they Cards sweep them..get it over with fast..BTW..the Giants fans got a taste of Benitez last night.., what we suffered through for years...

You know, I thought the Mets did the best in the off season free agent market. Pedro and Beltran looked like the bromide for that team.

You can’t say the front office didn’t try.

Good evening Red Sox Fans... Yes, last night's game was another great one! Nice to see Arroyo finally get into the groove after a few innings.

Just an important reminder: Today is Thursday... $20 million Manny's official DAY OFF. *barf*

and too bad Matt is falling apart. That boy just doesn't do well under pressure...

Yanks down 6-0 tonight in the 7th. Let's hope that the Rays can hold them cuz I don't see the Sox doing much tonight to help their own cause.

Sox offense was offensive tonight. Bases loaded in 8th and 9th and side strikes out both times.

'Nuff said. Matt did okay though...

Yanks lose 7-4. Hardee har har!!! SO makes up for dropping one to the Halos.

This game just proves what we've been saying: we just don't have the pitching staff to win games where we don't score any runs. ;)

Tribe leads the Wild Card race, .5 over Yankees, 1.5 over A's. Indians have lots of home games left, which one would normally think would be to their advantage.

when you give up 3 runs and lose while managing to strike out 3 men per inning consecutive when you have the bases loaded, your offense took the night off.

Thanks for that info, Ken. We'll be at The Home of the Evil Empire, I mean, Yankee Stadium Friday night to see Wells v Small (cheap seats, not together, high up in the rafters). We'll do our best as part of Red Sox Nation to cheer on our former Yankee pitcher... will be fun to see Bellhorn and Embree in pinstripes! ;-D
