CC Sabathia may lead the MLB in wins with 16, but he's 0-4 in 2011 against the Red Sox after Saturday's 10-5 loss in Boston. Sabathia (16-6) came up short as the Sox pulled into a first place tie with the Yankees at 69-42. Boston led 2-0 after three innings and erupted for five runs in the fourth inning for a 7-2 lead.

After starting the year with a 2-3-0 record that, quite possibly, looked worse than the actual record did, the Bruins left Boston looking to play better hockey. Coach Claude Julien actually said it's not that bad. Bostonist will just agree to disagree.
One quick trip to Dallas and a complete 3-0 victory later over the Stars, and all is agreeable to Coach Julien and Bostonist.

Tim Thomas turned back all 27 Dallas shots for his first shutout of 2009-10.
It wasn’t too long ago when the Yankees came to town for a five game series that was a make or break situation for the Sox.

Well, in second place and first in line for the Wild Card. But still, it could be worse. We could be the Yankees. Last night, Liza Minnelli’s rendition of “New York, New York” was heard echoing through out the streets of the Bronx when the Yankees lost to the Red Sox, 11-3.
