I think the Yankees are very very good but I'm reminded of the timeless Jacko quote:
Am I pleased with the Sox's homestand now? No - but it's not like they've tanked over the last ten games. They're still 5-5 in those games.
Yanks are riding a hot streak. They'll hit some bumps again soon. It's a long season, and to this point the Sox have been one game better. I expect this race to come down to the end.
That's not true.
A Yanks win v. the Sox is a two game swing.
Think of it this way:
Sox are 50-33
Yanks are 49-34
If the Sox went 4-4 against the Yanks instead of 8-0, here's the records:
Yanks 53-30
Sox 46-37
That's a 7 game lead, homeslice.
I think he got hurt by an inconsistent strike zone the other night as well.
It happens. Sox weren't beating Anderson the other night anyway.
Not even close, Sox signed a lottery ticket for one year. Yanks would routinely commit multiple years.
How many times does it need to be repeated?
Thomas earned his $5 million - it just shouldn't have been the Bruins who paid it considering their cap situation.
