Ironic you mention this, because Bowa was barking at Corey Patterson for stealing a base when the O's were up 6 a couple days ago.
Bottom line: I'd consider no lead less than 10 runs safe when it's Yankees - Red Sox. The goal is to win the ballgame, not to make the other team feel better about itself. If the Red Sox were up 8-2, I'd want them to put their foot on the Yankees throat, figuratively speaking of course.
Love the shots of David Pauley in the RS dugout. That is the shot of a man who has just soiled his underoos aftering seeing what's happened to Beckett..
