A few thoughts from around the horn:

- The Sox are 8-0 against the Orioles and 3-1 against the Yankees. That makes them 12-13 against everyone else. Does that vaguely worry anyone?

- Curt Schilling is a bit of a worry as well. He gave up three more home runs against the O's last night and only escaped with a win because the offense and the bullpen picked him up. He claims that his 133 pitch outing against Cleveland a few weeks back has nothing to do with his ineffectiveness, but you have to wonder. Schilling claims that pitch location on 2-strike counts is what is hurting him - he gave up 7 hits with two strikes last night. Let's hope he can turn it around against the Empire in his next start.

- Speaking of the Yankees, they won one of the wildest games in memory over the Texas Rangers last night. The Yankees were down 9-0 early and actually came back to take an 11-10 lead, led by Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada. It was tied at 12 going into the 9th. The Rangers got a run against Mariano Rivera to take the lead in the top of the inning, then Posada hit a walk-off, 2 run homer in the bottom of the 9th to win it. I tuned in for the last couple of innings at the Sox game ended and it was a damned exciting game, even though I hated to see the Yankees win.

- The last time the Yankees overcame a 9 run deficit was in 1987 against the Red Sox. The starting pitcher for the Sox that day? None other than Roger Clemens.

- I finally got around to watching Arizona's 6-0 Brandon Webb pitch against the Padres on Tuesday night. Although he wasn't particularly sharp, he is a pretty good looking pitcher. In a weak division like the NL West, having an ace starter like Webb or the Padres Jake Peavy can make a huge difference.

- Bonds is still stuck on 713, and isn't scheduled to play tonight. Perhaps the Tiki are displeased with his pursuit of Aaron and the Babe?
