The Old Man Is Snoring

OK, so I was wrong. I didn't want the Red Sox trying to play this second game.

They did... and despite another rain delay the Sox picked up 2 wins while the Yankees order room service in Baltimore.

And these are 2 games the Yankees will have to make up somewhere in a crowded Baltimore (hellllllo A. J. Burnett starts.)

Meanwhile Alfredo Aceves picked up ANOTHER win!

He's 9-1!

Here's an idea for Francona. Put Wakefield in all of Aceves spots. He'll have his 200 wins in a heartbeat.



So now they Red Sox have Sunday and Monday off and be rested and ready for the Yankees.

And while I am at it...

THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 29 TO WIN THE A.L. EAST!

And to get into the playoffs...

THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 22!
