After the Yankees series restored Sox fans’ hope, Pedro has returned to being his usual wicked self. The Sox lost today, but things sure look a lot brighter in Boston than they do on the North Side. The Yankees are only a game behind and will catch up eventually, especially as Giambi starts heating up, but the Red Sox are definitely making it known that they’ll make them sweat and may yet contend with the A’s for the wild card spot. I only wish as much could be said for the Cubs.
