NEW YORK - "Garret Crochet". As the Red Sox starting pitcher - Garrett Crochet - sat under the nameplate on his locker at the Yankee Stadium visitors clubhouse, he wasn't oblivious to the "t" that was missing from his first name. "It's the second time it has happened in the last couple of weeks," the lefty said with a chuckle. It was a microcosm of the entire Saturday night. Not perfect, but good enough.

Saturday, Anthony added another feather in his cap. The outfielder blasted a 497-foot grand slam in the eighth inning of Worcester's 10-4 win at Polar Park.

NEW YORK - The Duck Test was on full display at Yankee Stadium Friday night: "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."It was the perfect idiom for yet another imperfect game for the Red Sox. The Yankees carried themselves like one of the best teams in baseball, an existence they have lived for much of this season.
