Ahhh, I love the smell of first place in the morning. Even when he Sox are rained out, they gain ground, thanks to my new best friend, Endy Chavez. For a while I’ve thought Torre and Cashman were making panic moves, now it looks like the players are starting to press, sensing an early exit from the race. Damon gets gunned down trying to stretch a lead-off single into a double on those old, achy legs. Then Jeter strikes out looking and argues with the ump. Jeets! Captain Intangibles arguing with the umpire? So the good guys now hold a double-digit lead in the AL East – their first since 1995.
According to the Weather Channel, there’s a good chance the Sox will get 2 in today. But I’ve fallen victim to their lies before. We’ll see.
Meanwhile, SG Nation awaits the return of Red…
