Yankees 1 - Boston Squat

Kevin Youkilis will sign an agreement with Volkswagen to appear in several of their "little head" commercials. Youkilis expects that if a witch doctor is successful in shrinking his enormous, bulbous, hairless dome to a more manageable size, he can significantly extend his baseball career, particularly against Joba Chamberlain.

In other entertainment news, Mike Lowell has signed to appear with Adam Sandler in "Anger Management II". In this scheduled for release in 2009 sequel to the pathetic "Anger Management", Sandler will play the shrink and Lowell the patient. Lowells's foot stomping tantrum so pleased the millions watching on national television, MGM representatives were immediately jetting into Boston to ink the grey-haired super rant.

Two 2nd inning Web Gems! Melkey's stretched out catch and the Cano-Jeter-Giambi DP. Spectacular "D".

Players on both sides with a rep for lacking mental toughness performed true to form. NY's Farnsworth in the 8th hanging a fat, first pitch slider to a rookie and eating Crisp's dribbler. Boston's JD Drew' Deer in the Headlights performance, unable to pull the trigger on a called 3rd strike fastball down the middle, in the bottom of the 9th to end the game.

Pedroia can have all the 1 - 4 nights he wants and please, keep Ortiz in the batting order. He's not ready for prime time. Looks like he found someone in the AL who is able to get him out.

It's amazing that talking heads get paid to say so many stupid things. Joe Morgan who sees no point in building a new Yankee Stadium. Tim McCarver, speaking about Chamberlain, who said if he starts the season as a reliever he should remain a reliever for the the entire season. David Cone accepting money to be enthusiastically inane. And, Gos help her Kim Jones. Tonight while interviewing Girardi she asked Joe that since he has been preaching how important it is to win series, particularly in the last half of the season, and how important it is to win the opening game of a series to increase your chances of winning the series, was it important for the Yankees to win tonight?

Good night, Gracie.

Good night George.
