Sabatha vs. the Sox

Two thoughts on last night's Yanks/Sox game:

1. Sabathia was lucky to get out of the jams that he got himself into. It's not often that you'll be able to hold the Sox to 2 runs if they get 13 hits. After all, they left 16 men on base last night!
2. Lackey sure has pitched much tougher recently. He'll never be lights out, but he's pretty gritty these days, and I no longer automatically assume a loss when he takes the mound (unlike poor Wake).
