Spring Cleaning
Get those brooms out, it's time to sweep up the mess in the Bronx: the Boston Red Sox win three in a row against the New York Yankees. Due to today's impending win by the Devil Rays, we can now dust off this beautiful graphic, something as rare as a Monster Seat ticket for less than $200:
Now, it's April. There's 144 games left. The Red Sox pitching has been so good it's unfair to expect it to continue. Same for the bats rotting in the Yankee dugout. OK, with that out of the way…
Suck it, Yankees! We can actually, honestly say "Yankees Suck." Jeter, 0-24! Six losses in seven tries against your rivals? Trailing the Devil Rays in the standings?! Good luck against Oakland's Big Three this week…
And, ladies and gentlemen, how 'bout them Red Sox? 24+ Scoreless innings from a bullpen that last year was in full meltdown mode by this point in the season. Starting pitching has been good as advertised, and the bats are doing enough. And Trot and Nomar aren't even in the lineup yet! Winners of 8 of the last 10… I love this!

Oops, spoke too soon. Somehow I’ve parlayed the Red Sox fan ability to jinx a game onto the D-rays, who lost in the bottom of the ninth, walking in the winning run. SO the Yanks are tied for third… Freedom has many enemies, we must remain at elevated alert.

Believe me, the D-Rays need no help to jinx themselves. Until they stop blowing games like this, they will always be second division.
It does look like the Red Sox are on a mission this year.

D-Ray fan in WI?! That just blew my mind… I mean, if you wanted to root for a bad team, the Brewers are like, right there! This might be an interesting week, a pumped up Sox team with Wake, Lowe and Schilling vs. a demoralized Tampa team? Yikes.
Something’s definitely afoot with the Sox, though. I mean, Manny is talking to everyone!
