Click the play button below to hear Sean's comments, recorded this morning. The topics: the Yankees' surprising pitching success, Joba Chamberlain's first start at Fenway Park, and which of these two teams is better positioned to win the division.

Here's what Sean had to say about which team (Red Sox or Yankees) appears more primed to win the division:

"I think you have to give the edge to the Red Sox. They're certainly healthier as they head to the final two months. The Red Sox are about to get David Ortiz back, which is other than Bartolo Colon the only significant guy who has been sidelined for them. Meanwhile the Yankees are going to be without Hideki Matsui possibly for the remainder of the year; they are without Chien-Ming Wang, who arguably was their best starter at the beginning of the year, until at least September. They can't have Jorge Posada catch for them, although he could DH and play first base. Johnny Damon's just coming back from some time on the DL, where he got banged up. I just don't see where the Yankees are healthy enough or deep enough in pitching, and I think there's going to be some questions with that lineup, just because it's not the one when they envisioned, when you take out Matsui and possibly Posada."
