headline on mlb.com…

“Manny makes memorable catch as sox face o’s”

Manny Ramirez tracked it down at the wall, high-fived a fan, then spun and doubled up the runner at first.

this game worries me,

Shields has a HORRIBLE record against the Yanks:

0-5, 33.1ip, 49h, 30r, 29er, 10hr, 8bb, 24k, 7.83era

even though, he starts on my fantasy team.

so, Shields for MVP…

As long as he keeps it in the park and doesn't have any runners on when he hits

I’m fine….he seems to be the only Yankee hitting anyways. Wonder when he’ll go down with another injury.

I've been fairly

unimpressed by Aki’s range at 2nd so far this year. He looks good out there, but he sure doesn’t get to much out there.

He's still new to the position

Upton still looks crappy and doesn’t call off many people at CF, but he’s decent enough.
