the all star break off their lead. Not too shabby. Boy there are ups and downs over a full season as we all know. Yankees in a big game tonight that is 1-0 and I can feel the tension in that one. Ellsbury just hit a HR, is playing great defense (two big catches the last few games) and is a nice spark to the Red Sox. Pedrioa and Ellsbury are a great 1,2 at the top of the order. MUCH better than anything else we had. Beckett looks good so far and Funk is happy.
