Lester may be a keeper after all. And how about Coco, finally getting a game-winner. The guy still looks exhausted and unhappy, even in sweet victory, but he's been pretty great. Give the man a Gold Glove. Wow. Lester may be a keeper after all. And how about Coco, finally getting a game-winner.

Non playoff contenders will see that they could be a very real part of knocking The Big Bad Bronx Bombers out of a divisional title or better yet, a playoff spot. This means the Yankees will be facing both hard fighting playoff contenders and non-contenders that can take the greatest satisfaction of knocking out, of all teams, the Yankees?

His first game back was nice, but the idea of him pitching 7 or 8 innings is a pipe dream. I want Bucholz and I want him NOW. Put Lester in the pen or just swap him with Bucholz.

A smart manager would take the most listless individuals and sit them down...a lot...in the final two months of the season. Ortiz has been crap lately and if you think Pedroia is going to carry the team on his shoulders you're nuts. I see Kielty providing a lot of relief in his role as the 4th OF. A lot of the jokers on that Yankee team have had considerable amounts of time off due to injuries and, thus, they're a bit fresher. No more greenies means a lot of tired-ass players limping to the finish line. Let’s not forget that they’re testing for amphetamines in MLB this year.

Red Sox Nation would be much more confident about this team if they could win some games with the kind of offensive authority that the Yankees are currently displaying. It’s unsettling how much the lineup is being shuffled, too. Coco’s sitting for a few nights? Why? Is it related to the Moose incident, or is he being given a breather because he tried to demolish the dugout bench last night? Hard not to be jittery these days.
