After coming into the Bronx with an 8-0 record on Thursday, the Boston Red Sox were swept out of town last night by a barrage of homers in the 7th and 8th innings.
The Yankees have upped their AL East lead to a gaudy 6 1/2 games. This weekend's games was pure dominance from every facet of the game. Offensive might, pitching prowess - the Sox were held scoreless for 30 some-odd innings at one point until a V-Mart homer in the top of the eighth inning of last nights contest. However, the Yankees came through with clutch hits again. Damon first pitch - home run tying the score. Then Tex crushing the 2nd pitch he saw from the hyped rookie reliever, Daniel Bard, high and deep into the Bronx night.
Standing ovations all around as the Big Ballpark in the Bronx went nuts.
Our friends over at Barstool Sports have a tongue and cheek post asking if the Yankees just won the World Series. They seem to feel curtain calls are only to be saved for the post season. Well I guess the post season and for when juicers hit their first home run after being outed as a cheat.
Prior to being swept back into their duck boats, Barstool thought enough of the last two games of this series that they urged the Red Flops - er - Sox on with an inspirational video and post. The main problem is that this is baseball not rugby. This is the United States of America. This isn't some European Rugby match. We don't need a speech about some runner willing herself to the finish line. We don't need a psyched upped speech to get things done. I am sure that Barstool had the best intentions.
I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort.
This is how we do things in New York.
