Calling On The Yankees Bats!
Words from Joe Torre, regarding the start today for the Big Unit:
"Randy needs to pick us up, we know that," said manager Joe Torre. "We know it's tough to compete unless you can pitch. You don't need a shutout, but you need to keep the game to a number where it's not overwhelming."
Well, the last time that Johnson pitched in Fenway, he went 7, and gave up 5. And, if I recall correctly, before this year, Randy's lifetime ERA in Fenway was around 4.42.
Look for Boston to score at least 5 runs in this game today. This means that the Yankees batters better be on their game (and not be like they were last night).

Well, we've got our 5 runs anyway. Why am I still nervous? I hope Jeter can come up with a base hit here and plate 2 more.
