The Yankees 3 best pitchers, Wang, Pettitte and Mussina have been good this season. Going into Tuesday's game, they have a collective ERA of 3.74 and a WHIP of 1.35. Even so, the Red Sox best 3 pitchers, Schilling, Beckett and Wakefield, have been even better. They have a collective ERA of 2.74.
As further evidence of why Roger Clemens isn't a necessity to the Red Sox, the Red Sox entire staff, 1-5 has outperformed the Yankees best 3 starters to this point. The entire Red Sox rotation going into Tuesday's game has an ERA of 3.79 and a WHIP of 1.22 even with Matsuzaka struggling and Tavarez starting.

How about a "nicknames" section with brief explanations of William and Flo (which I can't figure out) and perhaps other standards like CHB.
Great question! I've long thought this blog needed a glossary.
Okay, I'll do that soon. A few people have asked for one recently.
I'll have to have a special look-back section about the 2002-04 Sox: the Napkin, the Thermos, Shrek, Cabin Mirror, Bartleby, Noreiga, the Professional, SWHB, etc. and their counterparts on the Yankees: CI, Fruitbat, Peanuthead, Shemp, Milk Dud, WOTS, Passedballa/Dumbo, Mr. Ed, and so many others.
The Golden Age!
LOL its fun just trying to guess those!
Shrek = Belhorn?
i'm all in on what you said ;)
Bartleby! I love that one, very literary. "I choose not to."
The Napkin was a great one, too.
Speaking of nicknames, I hope we see The Snuffer tomorrow night. I miss him.
Bartleby! I love that one, very literary. "I choose not to."
Bellhorn -- for his decision to not swing at a lot of pitches and draw walks. (I think Dante Bichette was Shrek.)
The Napkin may have been the best of the lot.
I also enjoyed referring to our former shortstop as Nomar Garciapopup.
