1. Both teams bats were popping last night, but the Yanks were out of control.

They have a fearsome lineup and are playing the best ball in the league right now. It's going to be real tough for anyone to beat them, though the Angels can certainly put up the runs.

2. They didn't

They scored two touchdowns and two field goals.

The Red Sox kicked three field goals and caught the runner behind the end zone for two more points.

3. Swisher

actually scored the 21st but the run didn't count as Melky was out at second just before he crossed. At least according to Joe West, who is an awful umpire.

6. They showed the replay, and it wasn't that close...

Swisher should have scored, but he wasn't running hard and had about 15 feet to go when Melky got caught. Joe West is still an awful ump, though.

9. I certainly

agree with everything you wrote. Joe West is one of the umps they had a chance to get rid of. It baffles me they didn't take advantage.

5. Sox

sure evened things up today. I expect tomorrow to be a much closer game than we've seen.
