i'm scared to even mention it. the red sox have the best record in baseball, and the yankees are in last place in the East. i'd prefer to just whistle and twiddle my thumbs and pretend this is the normal course of things. but i can't whistle, and i don't really twiddle my thumbs.
but things really are clicking on all cylinders. we have two legit bullpen aces, a rotation where even Tavarez is doing ok, and the offense is the offense. Youks has been destroying the ball, in the midst of a 9-game multi-hit game streak. i saw on sportscenter that Boston is something like 18-5 against teams above .500, so it's not like we're eating the poor here.
so, yeah. I guess it is easier to write about your favorite team when they're struggling, because i'm pretty much speechless. everything's meeting or exceeding expectations, and i don't want to turn L&L into a smug-fest.
watching Timmy has been great. having seen him play in the nba for almost a decade now, i've picked up on a distinct pattern. the "best player in the nba" conversation goes sans-Duncan for much of the regular reason, then the playoffs happen. at that point, every talking head has to admit that the Spurs can pretty much beat any mvp-of-the-moment, with Timmy leading the way every game. he puts it in another gear in the post-season too, upping those 20-10's to 30-15's with assists and blocks to boot. God i love it.
keep it real.

timaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Talk to me about Youks. He's obviously not going to keep hitting like this, but do you think the power will mostly stay? Do you think he'll end up with 25 HR? In my other league there's a guy desperate for a 3B and I would trade him Zimmerman if I knew I could rely upon Youks.
i'd feel confident relying on Youks, but i doubt he'd get up to 25 homers. That'd be the best case scenario. still, he's sure to rack up major runs and decent avg and rbi.
