And I’m still behind on my work, so I’ll be forsaking some more. But I’ll duck back in for a couple of quick posts, the first of which…is about Murray Chass! Many of you will remember that it was less than two weeks ago when Chass wrote, “At the rate at which the Yankees are slashing into Boston’s lead in the American League East, they will pass the Red Sox in the standings by July 4.” At the time, the Sox led New York by a mere 7.5 games. After today’s Sox win/Yankees loss, the Yankees are back below .500, stuck in third place, and 11.5 games out of first. Oh, and the Sox have the best record in all of baseball. For the Yankees to overtake Boston by Independence Day would truly be miraculous: each team only has 8 games between now and then. [...] […] I know, I know — I’ve been forsaking my duties.

That, of course, won’t happen. It’s not out of the realm of possibility to think Boston’s lead will stay within the 5-9 game range through September, but it’s also not out of the realm of possibility to think it’s going to get much tighter down the line. Both of these teams are good. New York’s not half as bad as they were playing in May, and Boston’s not the historically great outfit their record indicated. If both teams stay healthy, it’s going to be an interesting — and hopefully fun — summer.

Drew had another brutal o-fer last night with 7 left on base. After the outburst against Arizona he hasn't had a hit in 3 games back in Fenway. Maybe they should hypnotize him into thinking that he has a brother playing on every other MLB team.

Schilling has been pretty good this year, but if Beckett is worth $10 million a year in his late twenties I'm not sure how you justify paying a 41-year-old 30% more.

Lord knows we got enough stories after the near no-no proclaiming the opposite on the basis of one start.
