Yanks win, long three-game set at Fenway

C.C Sabathia and A.J Burnett (Wade got the win) pitched winning games for the Yankees up in Boston.  The Yankees showed a lot of fight, in winning two out of three nail bitting games.  This series had a lot of implications for the Yankees, first they had to go into Fenway and prove that they can take a series from the Red Sox, second they had to stay in a virtual tie (tied in the loss column) for the division lead before not seeing each other until the end of the month.
These are division games and they take forever.  There is a rule on the books, that with nobody on base a pitcher has to throw the ball within 12-15 sec, that rule is never enforced and the umpires don't want to deal with.  I am not a proponent of putting a countdown clock on the scoreboard, I feel that will take away from the game and make baseball something its not.  I like baseball because it is not governed by a clock and it can go at it's own pace.  All that talk about rules aside, these games are going to take a long time.  These are division games between teams that see each other a lot, scout each other a lot, and watch video tape.  In your division their might be more strategy playing out, not that there's not always the game with in the game.  Not all three game series, have an average game length of 3:52.
