Uh-oh, here they come
Did anyone really think the Yankees would be terrible all year? The lineup is too good. The pitching, which I still think is suspect, has hit a nice stretch.
New York has gained six games on the Red Sox, and now sit 8 1/2 back. That is still a lot, but it is only June (just like last month when we reminded you that it was only May).
The Yankees have Andy Pettitte going tonight.
After tonight, the Yankees will host the Mets for three. That should be a challenge and, of course, all eyes will be on Roger Clemens' start on Friday.
If you're wondering, the Sox and Yanks do not hook up again until a three-game series in the Bronx, Aug. 28-30.
Good night for the aces this evening. Josh Beckett goes for Boston and, in Portland, Clay Buchholz pitches for the Sea Dogs.
Check out the Steve Conroy article in the Boston Herald today on Brandon Moss.
If you are staying home tonight to watch Beckett, I'll try to update you on Bechholz's outing.
