Baseball weather

Spring Summer has arrived here in the Northeast this weekend, perfect for a few games amongst friends. I'm pretty sure that all Boston is too preoccupied with the Celtics and the alleged Craigslist Killer to notice that the New York Yankees will be playing their beloved Carmine-Hosed over the next few days in The Fens. Both teams are 9-6 and no one expects the Blue Jays to be in first place too much longer.

The pitching match-ups alone are intriguing, as Joba goes up against Jon Lester tonight, followed by a potentially epic* Burnett/Beckett meeting tomorrow, with veteran Andy Pettitte opposite young Bat Justin Masterson on Sunday night. Whee.

*If by "epic" you mean a total of a combined 16 runs scored in five innings.
