About that bullpen, and specifically Brendan Donnelly. The Sox acquired him for lefty Phil Seibel, who is now set to undergo his second forearm surgery in three years. Pretty good heist for Theo, no?

[...] Andy Pettitte will make his fifth start of the season on extra rest. Pettitte typically pitches very well against the Red Sox. Over his career he’s gone 13-5 with a 2.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and .259 BAA. Even so, a shaky Yankees bullpen has blown a lead for him in each of his last 3 seasons.

The answers to these questions are simple — YES!! I say yes because these are the stories I tell my sons and as their eyes get wide as the story builds I realize I am giving them a little of what got me so passionate about baseball and the Red Sox. I think instead of DNA we need LSA (leave stories alone) so I can continue to pass on these epic tales of baseball and slaying dragons

Agreed. I mean, let’s say the blood was fake. Who cares, he was still injured (post season surgery) and still won. As a Yankee fan, I think its a pointless story, unless it is true and this creates friction between Doug and Curt.
