Hit by Pitch: I think it's 12 by Red Sox, 11 by NYY. Not much of a difference. Noone is saying that Red Sox are on a roll. The are just slightly playing a little better game, even though their defense is still atrocious. And remember the season is not over yet. A lot of things can happen. Let's wait till the season is over to pass on the judgement. And quit harping about 1918. You sound like a broken record. We would love to have Randy Johnson here, but if he wants to go to Yankees, that's his choice. Noone can stop it from happening. Again, let's wait till he get traded. Nothing is lock. Well what about our closer? He blew couple of saves. Didn't Riviera blow the 2nd game against Red Sox. Didn't he blow the game last night? Stuff like that happen. Noone is perfect. Closers do make mistakes too. Have a good day.
