There's another subplot in all of this, which I had forgotten about until ESPN did a story on it; the MVP race between Manny and Shef. Especially during this last month, both of these guys have been out of control. I think whoever wins the pennant gets the MVP (unless Manny's numbers completely blow away Gary's).

In terms of "most valuable", sheffield has probably been more important to the yankees, at least in the last 6 weeks or so - he's almost single-handedly carried that offense (i guess 'Godzilla' hasn't sucked either, but everyone else has been off).
Interestingly this year the Sox will be the one to split the MVP voting - I think Papi's season detracts from Manny's chances a little, and Shef takes it unless the Angels get hellishly hot (or Johan Santana wins it, which I think he should).

Heard a rumor yesterday that during the Varitek/A-Rod confrontation, the comment that set A-Rod off was when Varitek told him "What, you think we'd put a .260 hitter on base?"
