then the yankees gain nothing from their 6 run rally in the 8th to beat Oakland. It's only april, I'll take the half-game for now...besides, the Sox have to play a doubleheader, and anything that inconveniences the Red Sox, I am in favor of.
Don't worry about the standings, its only April. Remember last May, when they were far worse than they are now? I mean, they got no hit by the entire Houston pitching staff. September 2000 also, they lost....15 of 18 i think it was(maybe?) The only reason people are making such a big deal over it now is because a)it's the very beginning of the season...no one commented last may because they started 20-5, and b)they have the greatest offensive lineup in modern history, they are supposed to be hitting.
They'll start hitting eventually, and when they do, look out Boston. I can't wait.
