When Joba Chamberlain threw up and in on Evan Longoria last night didn't you just wish that was Kevin Youkilis standing in there? Me Too! Oh well Longoria can get a taste too just in case he thought his pesky Rays (who are still the Devil Rays to anyone who matters) would mix into this division race. Joba's intensity is back. He's not shaking Jorge Posada off anymore and has realized he's 23 with no rings and Posada is 63 with 4 rings. I thought it was commendable for Garza to come back at Teixiera, good baseball doesn't bother me at all.
Phillies land Cliff Lee: Become almost as powerful as an American League team.
Look for the Yankees to get Jarod Washburn here in the next two days. Arroyo was a nice thought but with the Ian Snell move that Seattle made I think they are poised to send Washburn to the Bronx. The Sox can go ahead and add Victor Martinez. I'm confident with things as they stand today and if it were a Washburn to the BX and Martinez to Boston you have to like the way things look.
Lastly: Bruney has lost any status he had towards the back end of the Bombers 'Pen. Hughes Aceves and Coke have firmly planted themselves in front of him. Bruney has been serving up nothing but meatballs, he can't be trusted in a big spot until he proves he can do it in low pressure situations now. His big K the other day was a fluke. I have a theory that a fantasy baseball foe of mine who has Mariano Rivera on his team has paid Mr Bruney to blow big leads and force Mariano in to bolster his saves and k/9. Bruney did say after his last bad outting "hey I just wanted to get MO a save." Just a theory but I'm sticking to it.
