Each Yankee-Red Sox game takes a life of its own.

Thursday night's game wasn't much of one as the Yankees didn't show up.  Lester pitched a five hitter and the Red Sox won 6-0.

Joe Girardi held a 32 minute closed door meeting after the game.  Joel Sherman asked him about it but Joe wasn't talking about it.  Little need to as the Yankees haven't been playing up to snuff.

The Yankees came out swinging on Friday and took a 3-0 lead.  But, Johnny Damon hurt his shoulder when trying to catch a ball.  The Red Sox went on to win the game 6-4.  Johnny ended up going on the DL for the first time in his career on Sunday.

Saturday was a cardiologist special.  Moose pitched six great shutout innings.  The bullpen did its job and preserved a 2-0 lead into the ninth.  Mariano uncharactericalistically gave up a run and then loaded the bases.  He struck out the final batter before I almost had a coronary as the Yankees held on for a 2-1 victory.

A-Rod had a second inning solo shot against knuckle ball pitcher Tim Wakefield.  Joba pitched six innings.  The game went to extra innings.  Youth will be served.  Gardner hit a single up the middle as Cabrera sprinted in from second for the 5-4 victory in 10 innings against Papelbon. 

Keep the Faith!
