I'll be watching the game on ESPN between the Rangers and Yankees.

The Twins lead the Red Sox 5-3 after 6 complete innings.

If I didn't know better, I would feel sorry for the Red Sox ......... I know better.

The Yankees beat the Rangers, 7-4.

C.C. Sabathia got the win. He's 2-0 with a 5.27 ERA. He knows how to pitch with a lead. I wish we did. (half-kidding, half-serious)

[Guest Snoozer]

Red Sox came back to win that game 6-5.
