This one felt like it should have counted for more. The brilliant blue sky, the barrage of first-inning hits off New York starter Kevin Brown, and the masterful performance by Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling seemed wasted somehow.

The Rocket was nowhere in sight. Matt DeSalvo was there in his place &#151; but not for long. And whatever good vibe the New York Yankees created over the weekend quickly disappeared as Jon Garland and the struggling Chicago White Sox knocked out DeSalvo in the second inning on their way to a 6-4 victory Monday night.
