Didn't expect much out of the Bosox this season...but getting swept by the Yanks still sucks!
Pineda is looking really good for NY. Old guys Teix and ARod are managing to pop lots of homers but not much else...Chris Young is the unsung hero.

Eh, losing a 3 game series in May isn't the end of the world. But they are supposed to score in bunches to offset the horrible pitching. It's a lousy recipe, so far.

But the Yankees have some of the most injury-prone players in the game all healthy right now. It won't stay that way. Arod, Teixeira, Pineda, Sabathia, Ellsbury, Gardner etc... All live on the DL.

Those mustaches have got to go. I thought the Yankees had a no facial hair policy.

Think it's no beards or long hair...Munson, Mattingly, Winfield, and many others over the years have worn mustaches with the Yanks. Damon had to cut the caveman hair when he chose evil... ;^)

Remember when the Yankees picked up Darnell McDonald and he cut his dreds off? Only to be released ten days later?

What's the favorite excuse of Sox fans? "It's early."

Everyone is shocked the shaky 'pen though.

Teixeira - what a scumbag. Purposefully deflecting that fastball so it would hit Hanigan in the knuckles.

Going to be very interesting to see if they last. The trade deadline will be too.

Uglier?

Buchholz or Hanigan?

Nah, the excuse I mostly hear is that they're a mediocre team at best, but hopefully not last place material.

I thought that injury would mark the return of Salty. Not sure when he clears waivers.

Seems like it's the year for "let's see which pitcher starter/reliever blows up". If you had Craig Breslow last night, you win.
