Rick Sutcliffe starts sensibly and then returns to form:

"The Yankees got lucky, because Josh Beckett is on the DL. And they won't have to face Dice-K, because it's not his turn in the rotation. And they're lucky that they don't have to play the Red Sox on a Thursday, because the Sox are 7-0 on Thursdays so far this year."
