8/30/07--Red Sox @ Yankees

... Stop Mike Lupica called the Red Sox lineup a "joke" in his last post. I'll grant you that they're not hitting the crap out of the ball, but I'd say they have held their own. The lead in the East and the best record in baseball suggests that, but so do these statistics: in the MLB overall, they are third in runs scored, second in OBP, and seventh in SLG and OPS. Sure, the Yankees are first in those categories, but they're behind where it counts. A lot of the Red Sox lineup sucks, but the pitching has been great, and the offense is obviously doing something right. Only a Red Sox hater would define them as a "joke." ...
