Red Sox 7, Yankees 6. The Pink Hats hit 4 straight home runs in the 3rd inning to erase a 3-0 deficit and held on in the 9th when Jonathon Papplebon got Alex Rodriguez to ground into a force out to end the game (somebody call A-Rod's therapist). It was the first time the Sox had swept the Evil Empire in Boston since 1990. And why did Joe Torre and Brian Cashman think it was a good idea to hold back Chien-Ming Wang and not start him last night? Because that would have been perceived as a panic move this early in the season. Kinda like using Mo Rivera in the 8th inning on Friday after saying that would not happen this year.

Orioles 7, Blue Jays 3. The Orioles win again? That's annoying.

NOTE FROM AROUND THE AL EAST...

• Hideki Matsui is likely to rejoin the Yankees on Monday when they face the Devil Rays.
• Jorge Posada who has missed action with a bruised thumb, could play tonight versus the Rays as the DH.
  
• People in Chicago are starting to get excited about the idea of having Alex Rodriguez in the second city next season.
• Things are in danger of spiraling out of control in Toronto.
