Why? Because you must. I'm counting on the Gil Meche Experience today, especially since the Yankees have Mussina...who just plain stinks this year. And don't forget to bring a can of Castleberry's All Beef Chili:

Sox have perked up a bit, but I don't expect they'll sweep Cleveland. A loss of at least one game in the standings seems inevitable. But they have Beckett tonight but they go against Faustus (as in Dr.?) Cormona. Cormona seems to be a baffle specialist. I expect the offense will have a hard time with him.

Lester had a gutty game. But that 4th inning...yikes!

How 'bout them Tigers?

And the lead is down to 6.5 games.....

I though I'd seen this post before PM...

Any baseball nuts here play and enjoy the latest iteration of Baseball Mogul? I'm curious about the game.

Doesn't matter what the Sox lead is now. If they don't get a bat at the trade deadline they won't hang on to win the Division.

Hmm..I guess we'll see what happens but I do agree that the Sox need another good hitter. It was nice to see Manny have a great game last night (2 HR's, 4 RBI's).

We'll give you Reggie Sanders, Mike Sweeney and Emil Brown for a box of Dunkin Donuts.

Red Sox are looking good for now....

Lead is back up to 8 games.

Sox trade for Eric Gagne (or "Gag-knee" as it is often pronounced in NH). But no impact bat...

Yankees trade firestarter Scott Proctor for Wilson Benemit. NOooooooooooooooooooo!
