Insoxicated
FRIDAY : Schilling vs Pettitte - ESPN
SATURDAY : Beckett vs Karstens - FOX
SUNDAY : Matsuzaka vs C Wright - ESPN
Yanks, decimated by injuries to their starting pitchers, are coming off an emotional high after an improbable 9th inning, 2 out comeback punctuated by yet another Arod walk off blast.
Sox are leading the division thanks to dominant starting pitching and ridiculous closing by Papelbon. The bats, previously dormant, are just now stating to wake.
We're in for a great weekend
----
After five consecutive 19-game seasonal series, the teams are booked for only 18 for the first time since 2001, the first installment of the current unbalanced schedule.
Going back to the start of the 2002 season, and including two seminal showdowns in the AL Championship Series, the Yankees hold a narrow 56-53 edge.
SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE
• Boston has an ongoing streak of nine consecutive games of allowing three runs or fewer, its best such run in two decades.
• The Bombers score at a league leading pace of 6.5 runs per game.
Final Note:
New York has committed a Major League leading 15 errors, which have contributed to 10 unearned runs.

The Red Sox have scored 52 Runs in theiir last 10 games (5.2 Runs per game)
Methinks Doctor Detroit is going off some old data
Better win this series. Only one of these two teams will be getting eliminated in October.
Come on COlin... you can do better than that. At least sound like you know whwat you're talking about when you throw smack down. There are plenty of chinks in the Sox armor... no need to try to pretend Matsuzaka has pitched poorly in his losses 
I'm not one that things boston's announcers are the best in the biz (though I do love Remy).. but Sterling makes me want to rip my ears off :(
