July 10 at Fenway Park in Boston, MA

Let's just jump right into a few random thoughts from this 5-1 Yankees' win.
1. Boston right fielder Alejandro De Aza should go by Fernando. He looks much more like a Fernando than he does an Alejandro.
Fernando De Aza!
2. The Yankees scored three times in the fourth without hitting anything hard: fielding error, infield single, bases loaded walk. Bob Costas has been announcing baseball games since the 1700s, so clearly he's seen a few crazy things happen. The top of the fourth inning on Friday: not at all crazy. But here's Bobby:
"Nearly unbelievable fourth inning."
Actually, Bob it was very nearly the most believable inning you could possibly witness:
1. Errors by fielders. Happen all the time.
2. Infield single for a speedy player (Brett Gardner). Happens all the time.
3. Walk. Happens all the time.
4. Walk with the bases loaded. Doesn't happen all the time, but it isn't close to unbelievable.
5. Brian McCann not being able to score from third on a ball that bounces off the first baseman (Mike Napoli's) arm. Happens all the time to Brian McCann. Brian McCann is really slow.
Also, John Smoltz called Alex Rodriguez "Mr. A-Rod", so he wasn't going to get away with that.
