(AP)
-- CC Sabathia isn't used to getting off to a horrendous start during
an otherwise sensational career, and he won't ever be comfortable with
getting booed at Yankee Stadium.
Now the left-hander will try to
regroup on the road as he tries to end the longest losing streak of his
career Friday night when the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox renew
their rivalry at Fenway Park.
Sabathia (0-4, 5.96 ERA) has dropped
his first four starts for the first time after allowing seven runs and
nine hits - three home runs - in Saturday's 8-2 home loss to the New
York Mets. As manager Joe Girardi went out to get him in the sixth
inning, Yankees fans weren't shy about voicing their displeasure with
the six-time All-Star.

Dutch Foreign Minister Reports Progress in Inquiry Into Downing of Malaysian Jetliner
All but two of the victims in the downing of Flight MH-17 over eastern Ukraine last summer have been identified, Bert Koenders said.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17; Defense and Military Forces
"Mr. Koenders attributed the improved access partly to a shifting in the front in the conflict between the Ukrainian rebels and the government in Kiev. This shift, he said, “added to more possibilities to do the rest of the work.”"
The military action in eastern Ukraine appears to be by Russian settlers with support from Moscow.
The objective may be looting in advance of withdrawal.
