YANKS DROP TO 0-8 AGAINST THE RED SOX

Though many Yankees and their fans believed that the Yankees would finally beat out the Red Sox, fate decided to make the game go a different way. Sabathia and his wet Yankees slipped up and lost their lead at Fenway park last night, making that eight straight games the Red Sox have beaten the Yankees.

Q: How bad are the Yankees against the Red Sox?
A: So bad that Ortiz can hit homers off them!

Sorry, I had to do that. Anyway, the Yankees are taking a lot of heat about this, which they should be. The Yankees have been playing well and can use their very expensive threats against other teams. However against the Sox, apparently the money just falls flat.

Now, there are a lot of people, including sports writers and anchors who believe that this is just a phenomenon that will go away eventually. Oh the poor Yankees. Many of them will make excuses, such as the first five loses against the Red Sox don't count because A-Rod (now known as Ster-Roid) was out due to recovering from his surgery. Okay, so even if I gave those five games to you saying that was a fluke, what about these past three games? I watched last night when the Red Sox came from behind and then closed out the soggy Yanks with a 1-2-3 top of the ninth with Papelbon. However, I will not allow people, at least those who I have contact with, tell me that the only reason the Yankees lost the first five games was because of A-Rod missing the action. If only one person can make a team win, then I'm putting all my money on the Bills winning the Super Bowl next year.

So the big news is about how the Red Sox haven't made the Yanks run for the hills since 1912, when they won more than 8 in a row against the Yankees (who weren't even called the Yankees back then). Let's hope that the Red Sox can continue their winning streak against the Yankees because there are multiple reasons why the would will become a better place if this happens. One: Red Sox fans will rejoice at beating down their rivals, Two: The Yankees will look ridiculous, not only for not being able to beat their rival, but for spending so much money on failure, and Three: sportswriters and sportscasters (*cough Cough* ESPN) will have to admit that the Yankees are not the best baseball team and actually do make errors, and yes, sometimes suck, at baseball.

See ya!
