I'm no fan of the Red Sox, but last night's game did not bode well for the Yankees. They had their best pitcher on the mound throwing the game of his career and an 8-0 lead, and they damn near lost the game. This is an ominous sign for the Yankees, because the end result is likely to change when they go into the 7th inning with "only" a five-run lead.

What about it being ominous for the Red Sox? Their No. 1 pitcher was trash-talking up a storm about how he was going to shut up 55,000 fans, and he ended up skulking out of the game after three innings. And their No. 2 starter calls the Yankees his daddy. If you're going to extrapolate all sorts of sordid implications for the Yankees, then you should do the same for the Red Sox. I say it's just one game, and I'm not going to read anything into it for either team or for the series, other than the Yankees getting a W in one game.
