Dustin Pedroia is My Hero!

I can’t hide my allegiance anymore, Dustin Pedroia never ceases to amaze me. To quote the movie Rudy, he’s “5 foot nothing, 100 and nothing” and all he does is hit everything.

Mike Mussina has put together three consecutive good starts, and beat King Felix and the Mariners 6-1 as Hernandez struggled mightily.

There were only a handlful of games last night, and one was rained out so not a ton to report on.

The shoulder injury to Yankees catcher Jorge Posada now looks like it is worse than was originally feared. After trying to tough it out for a week Posada finally hit the DL on Monday. Worse news than that is that is he scheduled to meet with Dr James…
