Blowout in Beantown
The score says pretty much all you need to hear 20-11 Yankees win. If you interpret the score correctly it means that our pitching sucked but their’s was even worse. Although neither team put their best pitchers out there which is probably the true reason for the bloated score. I mean c’mon Joe wouldn’t have put Mitre into a game with the Sox unless it was a total massacre, he also wouldn’t have kept Bruney in the game after loading the bases then walking in a run. And I’m pretty sure Francona wouldn’t have put that Bowden guy into a close game either. But all excuses aside for both team WE won and WE crushed them.
Pettitte did not pitch well at all but he pitched well enough to pick up the W
Pettitte started for the Yankees and gave up 7 runs 5 earned in 5+ innings of work. I think he caught a bad break when that ball dropped between Hinske and Melky that should’ve been an error, no doubt in my mind, but instead they charged Pettitte with another ER and it was the final pitch he threw in the game.
I am very, VERY happy that Mr. Godzilla was able to return to the Yankees! Last night he was the guy who snapped Boston’s back. The Yankees sure have a way of hitting homers off of Red Sox rookies! Earlier this month A-rod hit a walk off homer off of Junichi Tazawa the Japanese imported pitcher. Then last night Matsui hits his first homer of the game vs. recently called up Michael Bowden. Hopefully this trend will continue into today’s game when Tazawa takes on AJ Burnett.
There were some interesting facts about this game other than it was a complete beatdown:
1. Last night’s game ws the highest combined scoring game in a Yankees/Red Sox matchup ever. With 31 runs scored.
2. It was the first triple hit by A-rod since May 31, 2006.
3. Every player on the Yankees with at least 2 AB’s had an RBI, a hit, and a run. That is amazing!
The ONLY bad thing happening yesterday is the Rangers lost which means the Sox keep their 1.5 game lead in the Wild Card. But beating the Rangers was the Rays who are now just 3 games behind the Sox in the Wild Card!

Thoughts from a teenage Yankees fan 
TYF,
Great – let’s hope the Yanks can continue the beat down. We need to avenge 2004!!!!. I hope we continue to kick *** and take names. I have a world series can of feeling – similiar to 1996,1998, 1999 & 2000.
