Steven Roth:
Lee’s other losses this season were to the Reds and Twins. This is his first since July 6th.

Thank you Dynasty.
But now we must focus on the gritty details. We have two teams that quite frankly are no longer Boston-friendly, LA and Tampa. The bullshit I’ve witnessed the past few games needs to come to an abrupt end lest one of these two end us abruptly. I certainly hope Lowrie gets out of his regression, Jacoby can stay consistent, the term “Automatic Out” isn’t 100% guaranteed to any player, Beckett unfucks himself for good despite his still strong showings, and the bats get hot at just the right time.
I expect little mercy from the Angels, and should we miraculously defeat them with the pythag and all, I expect Tampa to be just as cruel. The switch is on fellas. No more dicking around. Rest up and don’t stress about the next few games.

Way to go Dynasty. The Rays have led the way for all of MLB baseball. Build from within, let the cream rise, play them when they are ready, and watch them win.
The Sox are doing the same thing. if I have my 2008 numbers correct, 1/3 of the starting team came from Pawtucket. The oft-injured Sox used the DL 25 times, and many others played hurt. To cover these injuries, the Sox brought up a dozen players from Pawtucket.
In other words, more than 20 players in 2008 came from the Sox farm system. And there are more knocking on the door. The Steinbrenners have insured parity at the high $$ level. No one is going to allow the Yankees to buy the best team in baseball ever again, as the best players will go to a number of teams. So, if the Yanks are to be truly competitive again, it will come from their farm system. What an interesting year.

Youk was a huge hero in this game. Four for four in terms of getting on base and being a thorn in Cliff Lee’s side!
Who else has he lost to this season?

I can’t get enough of these clinching celebrations at Fenway – keep ‘em coming!
The early clinch with 7 games left is huge for the Red Sox as they can still toy with getting the Division title, but can put a priority on healing those still ailing if need be.
I love this team – who wouldn’t?
