The Yankees beat the Orioles, 10-6, this afternoon, after the “Andrew” Dice-K and the BoSox lost to the lowly Tampa Bay Devil Rays, 5-2. That undoes the damage of yesterday, when the results of both games were different.

The Yankees now trail by 8. In their World Championship year of 2004, Boston trailed the Yankees by 7 ½ on July 29. SO. THERE.

Lefty blogger Yankees Chick has vid up of her discussing the possible trades. Right now, she thinks that Farnsworth, Proctor, and Myers might be shipped. She thinks someone will take Farnsworth. I’m thinking Farnsworth and A-Rod, with George picking up the salaries of both, for a low-A backup DH.

Farnsworth played in the major leagues today, believe it or not. The Yanks were up 10-4 when Joe brought Fransworth in to pitch the bottom of the eighth. Farnsworth immediately walked Bako and gave up a home run to Roberts.

Maybe Boston wants him.

I’ll put Yankee Chick in the blogroll soon. I promise.
