Giddy Up Pinstrippers

When the Red Sox - Yankees series was approaching this weekend, I couldn't have imagined a better outcome than what has transpired so far. The Bombers won both games of a double header on Friday, with prodigal son Johnny Damon returning to torment the Fenway faithful.

Saturday the Yanks followed up Friday's twin killing with another pounding of the Sox. I gleefully imbibed the self torment of Red Sox Nation by reading through a few of the numerous fan blogs.

Just when you didn't think it could get any better, Sunday night the Sox took a 5-3 lead into the 8th inning only to see it wiped out with 2 outs in the 9th on a Derek Jeter flair to right to score Melky Cabrera. Giambi and Posada followed with home runs in the 10th, and Rivera closed the deal on a most excruciating loss. Of course the pennant's not won yet, and you just know it's going to get down to the wire...but it's not a bad time to be a Yankee fan.
