Time to blow the doors off this race


Going into tomorrow's series up 6.5 (or hopefully 7.5 if the Blue Jays would stop sucking for one second) is outstanding. You have to like their chances of taking 2 of 3 given the pitching matchups, and I feel like we're due to finally solve Beckett. As annoying as Fenway Park is, they have a great opportunity to blow the race wide open and really ensure everyone gets the rest they need in September to gear up for a big October playoff run.

If I'm the Yanks, I'm playing balls-to-the-wall, take-no-prisoners, no BS baseball this weekend. Send out the A lineup every game, pitch their faces off, and get the ball to Mariano. When was the last time Mo even pitched? And Hughes is plenty rested as well. If our starters can give us 6 to 7 solid innings with a lead, we should be able to take all three games.
