PS - I was at that game, it was nasty. Lowe was dominating, and looked good doing it. The (red) sox look to be for real this year, and I think they'll be in the race all season. The wildcard will definitely come from the AL East - the Sox and Yankees are definitely 2 of the 3 best teams in the AL (w/ the Mariners).
Sorry Ex greek - your pitching sucks, especially the guys we saw. There's very little there other than Foulke and Buehrle, although Garland threw well yesterday. He's about the classic "every year should be his breakout year" guy, though, so I don't expect much. The chi sox need to trade for a pitcher, almost all they can offer is Carlos Lee, start conning people to take his worthless ass.
I disagree with "nothing matters before july 1" - that's bullshit of the highest order. Look at the Cubs, A's, Indians, and the like - teams with HUUUUUGE expectations that have played their way into equally large holes. Don't expect any of those teams to pull an "Oakland in 2001" either - none of them have the firepower. I'll agree that it matters less than the end of the season - teams fade fast come august - but you can end your season early, for sure.
Pedro was sharp today - he's getting off right now, and grady little's actually keeping the pitch count low, so it might just last.
The scary thing is, the Yankees are keeping pace, even with injuries on the pitching staff (although personally, only Pettitte matters in my opinion) . . . and the only guy playing too far over his head is Robin Ventura.
Either way, when the Sox and Yankees play for the pennant, we'll get to argue it out again. When the Yanks dismantle the Twins in the first round of the playoffs, Ex greek can keep me updated on Magglio Ordonez's golf game.

Gotta love the delirious red sox fans. Hey ksigrc, hows team doctor Peter Gammons doing? How about team physician Peter Gammons? Hahahah, the red sox are a joke, all the more reason to root for the yankees in october because someone from the east has to do well.
White sox not win the central? White sox pitching bad? Are you trying to hit me with an obvious stick? What a moron, those statements are along the same lines as Tampa will finish last in the east this year and the yankees will make the playoffs in some way shape or form. Garland and Dan Wright are not the front end of the rotation for the socks.
Your team may or may not be a wild card team. Tell team trainer Peter Gammons I said that.
p.s. Hows the bruins doing? Any updates on their golf game? Maybe team beat reporter peter gammons can help you out with that one.
