    Kimbrel can't possibly be available for this one.

    Probably Workman, Hembree and Barnes, with a slight chance of Kimbrel.

    E-Rod seems to shine against the Yanks. 4-2 2.70 era against them. Yanks 18-5 this year against LH Starters. Had good game this year and outstanding game at the Stadium last year by E-Rod. Liking a win tonight.

    Just hope Sabbathia doesn't pitch like last year against us, he owned us. 4-0 with a 1.04 era.

    I'm just hoping we can split this 3 game series.

    Those clown pants are a distraction to the batters. It's difficult to hit when you're laughing.

    Let’s see, a relatively soft tossing lefty who changes speeds and generally has good control. What could possibly go wrong?
    The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough

    Nor Kelly, so Hembree and Barnes are your studs with neither Johnson nor Velazquez available for long relief after 5 inning E-rod gives you his best shot. But at the end of the season a win vs the Angels counts exactly as much as a win vs. the NYY crowd. Just not as enjoyable emotionally.

    Here are the possibilities:
    Sox go 0-3, 2 behind NY
    Sox go 1-2, Dead tie for AL East, NY with 4 more games yet to play , probably worth 1 to 1 1/2 game gain.
    Sox go 2-1, NY would be 2 up , Yankee's 4 games to play can only tie at best
    Sox sweep'em at 3-0. NY 4 back and the 4 games don't close the gap.
    Note---there is no way for the Sox to be 3 up after Sunday.

    Conclusion, a sweep is the most effective way of flushing the Yankees into the Bronx sewer system. It would be epic.

    Well a win vs NYY insured one more loss for them, while a win vs LAA does not.

    Beating LAA is +.05 games.

    Beating NYY is +1.0 games, but more importnatly, it's a 2.0 game swing with a win vs a loss, where as a win vs a loss vs LAA is just a 1 game swing in the standings.
