And the Beat Goes On

You know what I'm liking about this particular Red Sox team? The daily heroes have different names. Ortiz has done his usual damage, and Manny will do his. But every now and then, we're going to need a Loretta walk-off homer, a Youkilis clutch hit like he had tonight against the Devil Dogs, or a sprawling snow-cone catch like Adam Stern made to end tonight's game and preserve Jonathan Papelbon's seventh straight save. Yes, it's April and yes it's the lowly Devil Rays, but I'm liking how the Sox are playing with Coco out. Everyone's chipping in, they're winning close ballgames, and they're keeping the pedal to the metal as the Yankees continue to swirl around the drain. Sox beat the Rays 7-4 tonight, while Randy and the Yanks sucked the bit against the hot Blue Jays, 10-5. Sox are 10-4 on the young season; Yanks 6-7. Could this be the season the Yanks stay home in October?
