Game Eight: If There's a Russell in Your Hedgerow...

NYY 9 13 0
BOS 4 10 1

The Yankees got to Cowboy Clay early and often, and Russell Martin (?) clouted 2 homers to power a 9-4 New York win. While 1-7 is not exactly my plate of bacon and eggs, I try to remind myself that the more important statistic is that, despite the wretchedness, the Red Sox are in fact only 5 games out of first place.

Then again, Josh Beckett starts tomorrow, and the Yankees own him so much they put him on their tax return.

Oh boy.
