It was harder than it should have been, but Yankees sweep BoSox in Fenway for the first time in forever . . . or nine years or so. It's always good to beat them, it's even better to beat them in their house, it's even better better to beat them all three games, but it's even better better best to tease them a bit before you beat them. With an 8-5 lead and 2 out in the bottom of the 9th, Miller loaded the bases and brought the winning run to the plate in Bib Papi. The crowd went nutz, until Papi poopied out.

Yeah, it wouldn't shock me one bit if they crash and burn in The Bronx before it's over. Wouldn't be the first time, would not be the last.

Were Red Sox fans so sanguine they'd not be so insane.

Chamberlain blows a 3 run lead in the 9th. NOW we're back to business as usual.

I could just say no backsies, but instead I pose a question. What fallback option do you have in mind? With or without Joba, your bullpen is bull$#!+.

Soria has been a decent closer, but yeah, the middle relief is garbage.

If you say so. Not being snide, just I don't follow the Tiggers well enough to know. Plus, after almost 2 decades of Mariano Rivera, my idea of "decent" is biased.

Pirates turn a 4-5-4 triple play against the Cards last night, which is reported to be the first such in MLB history. Though the play hinged on a good leaping snag of a screaming liner by 2B Walker, it was greatly aided by the bone-headed SL runners on 2nd and 3rd who ran on contact . . . right with 2 out, dumb with one, and totally stupid with none.

Polanco did the newborn baby deer on an easy pop-up, or it would probably be in the 15th by now.

Well, I have been scared to come in here due to how the A's have been playing. Errors. 38 errors so far. Yesterday was game 38 for them.

Bullpen... Horrible.

The good news may be that it's only mid-May, Garry, lots of time to get on track.

Tigers going for the sweep on the Cards tonight, that would be sweet.

True for enough time to turn it around... But watching them, and them doing nothing to fix it yet.....

When will the slide stop.

Going for the sweep... Sh!t, I hope the A's can avoid a sweep from the White Sox this afternoon.

Think I caught a teaser about the Marlins having a bit of personnel shakeup today? Okay, been busy, what happened?
