Red Sox Young guns come out blazing,

A great job by young Jon Lester and another lights out save by Papelbon. These guys should be great for years. I certainly hope so.

Papelbon should get serious Cy Young as well as ROY consideration if he continues the rest of the season the way he has to date. 21 saves, 1-1 record and has given up only ONE run the entire year of his own.

Vic,

I think you are hoping that he is unraveling over the course of the year.

Randy Johnson has had the same demeanor since he came to the Yankees.......he probably had the same demeanor even before he came to the Yankees.

Do I like it? Not particularly but that means nothing in the scheme of things.

To me Randy is not a team player and never has been. He is all about Randy and his little tantrums don't help his pitching. I actually think that his throwing at the batter the other day could very well be his turnaround. He has had no love for Posada since day one and the fact the he possibly threw at a batter in retaliation for a pitcher throwing at his catcher could end up being a positive thing.

Time will tell the tale.
