Wait for it. It's coming. Ahh, here it is. A race that includes the Yankees and the Red Sox.
After being written off early, the now healthier Red Soxs are currently one of the hottest teams in either league. Couple that with injuries to CC Sabathia, Andy Pettitte, and Bret Gardner a 6.5 game lead at the end of June doesn't look awfully big.
With the departure of Kevin Youkilis, Bob Valentine is firmly established, for now, as the rooster in the Red Sox hen house ending months of internal tension - and all just in time for the resumption of intra-league play.
Dear Buster...
Nick Swisher is, indeed, more animated than a ball coming off a Sammy Sosa corked bat. However, it might be useful if he could trade a bit of his over the top exuberance for just a bit more... skill. We've all seen Swisher run to the wall and leap wildly into the air trying to catch a ball hit into the second deck - as well as wildly jumping for a ball that was in the park and knocking it into the stands for a three run dinger. Now that's entertainment.
