peg,

That would be nice from our point of view, but we are playing a division leader ourselves. Beckett and Schilling had a tough time down in Tampa and until they can stop throwing gopher balls I won't be entirely happy with their performances.

We almost gave Contraras his first loss and he will be playing a big game in Yankee Stadium, so you know his history in that regard.

I think both teams will be fortunate if they come out of the weekend the way they go into it. The Red Sox will spend the rest of the month outside of the division, including a trip out west. They have a lot of home games so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I think the next month could make or break either team.
