Today we approach game one of yet another epic Yankee Red Sox series in a match-up for the ages. Josh Beckett vs the "Phenom" Joba Chamberlain.
This three game set could do wonders for the hobbled Bronx Bombers. Coming of a six game win streak, is just the perfect way to enter this three game set of such high magnitude.
The Bosox got lucky by the timing of Poppy's return. Especially now that Manny was just bit by the injury bug himself. (or was he ?!?!?!)
This series to me is a litmus test for the Yankee bullpen. A bullpen which is firing on all cylinders (including Farnsworth). If they impress against this lineup on such a high stage, then bullpen help via the trade market is just not necessary. If they falter, then bring on Fuentes and co...
I'm very curious to see how this team responds on a whole. In my opinion, this series is really a good way to see if we are October bound. Cm-on boys, lets tear them another one!

Holy Cano! It's 5 in a row!
Last night I came to SAMIAM in a dream and we had a lengthy discussion. Of the many topics we spoke about (the ghost being overrated in softball, met fan's ignorance, if their same ignorance led to bliss etc.), the hilight of the conversation was how pleasurable it is to watch a Yankee game when they score and win (which has been happening a lot more often as of the ASB).
I dare to say this a game or two too early but Yankees bats have awoken and the bronx bombers are back (even w/o posada and matsui). The starting pitching has been great with exception to the 4th and 5th starters who have somehow managed to get out of trouble, eat enough innings, and help the team pick up some wins (what more can you ask for?). The relief has been nothing short of stellar! When the Yanks have a lead, the game is essentially over after the 6th inning as Veras, FarnsWORTH (I never thought i would take out the worthless from his name), edwar, and mo rivera just don't give up runs anymore.
Life is good as a Yankee fan... For all the Mets fans that read the blog, all I can say is I really thought with Billy Wagner down you guys would be able to win some close, tough, in-division games yet the Mets still manage to blow a lead in the 9th last night and put a smile on my face.
