BUT, They're Not 1 - 7!

The keys to victory in Boston? Your first three hitters go 1 - 14 and your starting pitcher gives up 4 runs in 4.1 innings. And make sure that Boston's only effective pitcher is 58 year old Tim Wakefield in 2 innings of mop up work. It doesn't hurt when six other guys produce 12 hits and 9 RBIs, not to mention dominating performances by Robertson and Chamberlain.

Nice win - but:

Gardner is getting overmatched at the plate

Jeter is struggling with the new stance

Yes, Mark, it's April

Granderson's on the interstate with Posada (Tex is on the on-ramp)

Phil Hughes has taken over A.J.'s residency on Mars

No one knows if they have a fifth starter (or a 3rd or a 4th)

Flash remains the snooze button in the booth

And Joe Girardi still gives the most inane post game interviews in baseball

However, see title above.
