" Yankees spent 423. And a half million dollars on three free agent this off season. AJ Burnett -- CC sabathia and Mark Teixeira. I know those contracts are rather long but right now they're looking pretty good. Burnett last night brilliant against Josh Beckett sabathia today you saw it into the eighth inning just two hits shut out ball. And Mark Teixeira on base three times one of the best offensive. The players in the game making an impact virtually every day. We you'll look back now on the Red Sox offseason well it wasn't quite as successful. Obviously the Red Sox -- to Teixeira didn't get it did then went the cheaper route went for players coming off injuries John Smoltz. Takashi Saito Rocco Baldelli and look at the impact of those four right now. Not much at all. We will look at the Red Sox in general it's sort of their rotation sort offensively still even after the addition of Victor Martinez. And they just don't look like a team right now that going to hold off Tampa Bay -- Texas for the wild card. Yankees go for the four game sweep tomorrow night this series could have a long impact on the rest of the season."
