While Carl Yastrzemski was "resting comfortably" at MGH after his triple bypass surgery, the current Red Sox were 400 miles south, honoring Yaz with some clutch hitting and some fire as they beat Baltimore again, 7-2.

Boston.com is reporting that Sox legend Carl Yastrzemski is at Mass General Hospital after some chest pains, according to his spokesman, Dick Gordon. "Any time you are in the hospital, it's got to be pretty serious," was Gordon's reply to the predictable question. Yaz is 68 years old, but since he was always suspected of having a training regimen based more on lifting a lighter than a barbell, it's an old 68. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you, Yaz. 4:30 PM UPDATE: They're saying a bypass operation looks likely.
