A couple weeks ago I ranted about the Yankees bullpen sucking and the team needing to do something. They did call up David Robertson, who has been fantastic, but other than that kept the pen intact, and it has shockingly been great. The Yankees are 43-1 or something like that when leading after six innings, Veras-Farnsworth-Rivera has been a stellar 7/8/9 combo, and Robertson and Ramirez are pitching lights out ball. Give credit to the team for some patience there. More good news on the way: Brian Bruney should be back in a few days, which probably spells doom for LaTroy Hawkins, the one weak link in the pen.
Oh yeah and, don't look now but...
Tampa Bay 59-41
Boston 60-43 0.5 GB
NY Yankees 56-45 3.5 GB
Here come the Yanks...how big is this weekend series in Boston gonna be? Not like that's a surprise, but...should be more intense than usual.
