Oh The Embarrassment! Yankees 0-8 VS. Red Sox

RED SOX 4

YANKEES 3

There was a line in The Godfather Part III when Al Pacino said, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" Well, just when the Yankees thought they were going to leave Boston with one victory in their back pocket, the Red Sox pulled it away from them.

Ever since Boston's historic comeback against the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS, the Yankees have lost their swagger when playing this team, and this season it is very present, as the Yankees now stand at 0-8 against Boston. And there is still 11 games left to play against the Red Sox in the second half of the year.

Even though C.C. Sabathia gave up a David Ortiz home run early in the game, the Yankee ace did enough to win, but didn't receive any run support until the seventh inning. In that inning, Francisco Cervelli doubled to left to drive in Melky Cabrera to tie the game at one. Later, Alex Rodriguez, finally produced a clutch hit against the Red Sox, stroking a double off of the Green Monster to drive in Johnny Damon and Cervelli to give the Bombers a stunning 3-1 lead.

With the lead, and considering how dominant Sabathia had been through the games first seven innings, it appeared that this baby was over. Well not so fast.

Nick Green led off the eighth inning with a single to left, and Dustin Pedroia walked to set up the comeback. J.D. Drew singled to center to drive home Green to get Boston to within in one 3-2. At this point, Joe Girardi had no choice but to take out Sabathia in favor of Alfredo Aceves, and that too blew up in Giradri's face.

Kevin Youklis singled to right, Jason Bay singled to left to drive in Pedroia to tie the game. Finally, Mike Lowell's sacrifice fly brought home Drew to give Boston a 4-3 lead.

Jonathan Papelbon took care of the Bombers 1,2, 3 in the ninth to end the game, and send the Bombers home shaken and stirred for another rendition of the drawn out Subway Series, set to begin tomorrow night.
