And I will be seeing the Bosox next Wednesday through Sunday, RHS. I got a loooooooong plane ride to look forward to on Tuesday morning as I jet from the far southwest to the NE.

Isn't there any way I can get beamed to Boston?

Even when the Bosox had a 15-game lead earlier in the season, I knew that no lead was safe when the Yankees were around. And there was all this talk about Joe Torre's job in jeopardy. Shades of 1978.

Even though the Bosox's lead is now 2.5 games, they have a 7 game lead over Detroit in the wild card race, if it matters that we know or care.

Unless Manny Ramirez gets healthy, I think the Yankees may overtake the Red Sox next week, if not this weekend. What's the matter with Eric Gagne???

The Red Sox schedule: Today @ Toronto; Fri-Sat-Sun @ Tampa Bay; Tue-Wed (09/25-26) vs. Oakland; Thu-Fri-Sat-Sun (09/27-30) vs. Minnesota

Yankees: Today vs. Baltimore; Fri-Sat-Sun vs. Toronto; Tue-Wed-Thu (09/25-27) @ Tampa Bay; Fri-Sat-Sun (09/28-30) @ Baltimore
