Sean McAdam is our guest this morning for Projo SoxTalk. Click here to listen to the full audio file. He talks about last night's (let's face it) impressive Yankee win, and what it does and does not mean for the American League East race (or lack thereof). Sean is still waiting to see if the Yankees can put together a good stretch of games; he's unconcerned about Hideki Okajima and Jonathan Papelbon; and he's impressed by Josh Beckett.
Here's some excerpts from what he had to say:
On the Yankees: "That was I think probably a pretty significant win for them. I'm not sure in the big picture if it means much in the standings, or gets them pointed in the right direction again, but I think if for nothing else than their psyche and confidence after what's happened the last couple of weeks, having a dramatic ninth-inning victory like that and getting to Papelbon and winning the second straight series against the Red Sox is probably just what they needed."
On Papelbon: "Papelbon has essentially had two bad outings -- about one a month here -- and I think even the best teams can put up with that."
On Beckett: "I think the good news for the Red Sox, if you're looking big picture here, is that Beckett had no problem executing his breaking pitches despite the finger issue that sidelined him for a couple of weeks last month. He did get his pitch count up and yet managed to get them into the seventh inning, which looked like that might have been a stretch back around the fourth or fifth."
