Last night’s game for the Red Sox was a win-win-win-win situation. First off, they won the game. Secondly, Manny Ramirez returned to the lineup. Thirdly, Kevin Youkilis made an appearance at first base halfway through the game. Lastly, the Yankees lost which means the lead in the AL East is 3 games and the Sox magic number to win the division is 3 as well. Curt Schilling showed that he is ready for the postseason by giving the Red Sox 6 strong innings last night. As the Red Sox prepare for a 5:00 start today, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston and Oakland area on this possibly record breaking warm day in New England.
