The Boston Red Sox are streaking, and the New York Yankees will be happy just to be playing a game. Daisuke Matsuzaka is looking to build on a promising last outing against a much weaker lineup while CC Sabathia hopes to equal Matsuzaka's 2011 win total (because wins are everything, right?)
If you're around, then you're free to comment on all the action tonight.

ba-dum bum.
If Posada breaks Bonds’ single-season record but bats .150 in the process, is he finished?
And now Martin! Best signing ever?!
The Yankees are determined to break their franchise homer record this season. Just an insane display right now.
Yea, Crawford got a hit and a rbi
Another RBI hit for Carl.
there is now a good chance at a team fight breaking out in the yanks game. Martin is obviously thrown at.
Holy shit! Gardner responds!
Gardner’s homer is reminiscent of Tim Raines’ blast after Tino was hit way back in the good old days.
Carlyle brought in to presumably hit a player with a fastball.
From Pete Abes:
Ryan Kalish might need season-ending surgery on a torn labrum.
Damn.
If Dice-K continues this way, Sox fans have to be encouraged. Between him, Lester and Beckett, that’s quite a top three. It will be hard for them not to compete. I think if there are any questions for Boston, it’s the staff. Beckett’s and Daisuke’s resurgences go a long way to answering those questions.
Bs-Habs w/ 7 or so l;eft in OT.
Never thought I’d be so excited to see Mihcael Ryder on the ice.
I generally agree with you, Nick. But I still think the pen must prove itself.
Youkilis with a 2-run bomb.
And Matsuzaka is dealing.
Bs-Habs headed to 2nd OT.
Impressive work so far…
Tek just misses homer, settles for RBI double to score Carl, who is 2-for 3. 5-0 Sox.
Meanwhile, Matsuzaka is dealing. He’s allowed one hit through 5.
Tek found the egg a little early. Wonders never ceasing and all that!
Ells and Carl with 2 hits each, Carl and Tek w/ b2b doubles.
Let’s get the Bruins a win.
I’ve decided it’s fine if Matsuzaka wants to walk a few guys every game as long as he’s only giving up one hit in the process.
Also, if Matsuzaka finishes this outing scoreless or close to it, it feels like this rotation’s stretch of really good starts is starting to verge on historically good…am I off base, Paul?
Horts with the winner in the 2nd OT.
Bs lead series, 3-2.
Holy crap, Tim Thomas was sick tonight. B’s win in 2OT!
That Thomas pad save on the 2-on-1 early in the 2nd OT was just unreal.
Another K for Matsuzaka. That’s nine. I think Tito should let him start the eighth – he’s thrown 102 pitches but let him keep going for another 10-15. He looks great.
Dice has allowed 2 hits in his last 14 IP.
Joe C says no one is up in the Sox bullpen.
Bad luck there – two balls stung by Crawford and Tek and zippo to show for it. Daisuke coming out for the eighth.
Sick outing, Dice-K. Sick.
Bard in for the 9th.
I’m certain I’m not the only one who thinks Matsuzaka should try for the CG.
WEEI broadcast opens the 9th by playing FRee Nelson Mandela by The Specials. I love 80s ska.
7 of 8. Hot.
Magnificent effort by Matsuzaka.
Sox out of the cellar.
Look out!
Good night and happy Easter.
