Even after a loss last night, the Red Sox sit atop the East, and atop baseball, with 30 wins. Even after a loss last night with Wakefield on the hill and Wang tying them in knots, it's hard to feel bad about this team at this point. Yes, its only May, but it's almost Memorial Day. Now, with the loss in the opener, the Yankee sweep sets up pretty well, with Mussina and Tavarez, and then Pettite and Schilling, both being winnable games for them.

Giambi hit a bomb last night-third deck off of Wake. Wow.

It's funny how a double digit lead (now down to single digits again) still makes a Sox fan fearful. But all you have to do, when you're in front, is win, and this team seems like it is good enough to do that. The Yankees have shown a talent for hitting, but also a talent for falling into funks. And who knows, Julian beat 'em once, right?

Did everyone take stupid pills yesterday? I seemed to be afflicted with dumdums yesterday. God, I hate people sometimes.

I miss Mitch Hedberg. Bill Hicks, too.
