So I attended Thursday's Red Sox-Yankees match up which was too painful to even discuss (I left the stadium before the end of the game for the first time this season - I just couldn't take it). Friday's game wasn't much better but thank god they came through over the weekend and evened the series. They still looked pretty bad but somehow they managed to pull it off - although how Mariano managed to save Saturday's game with no outs and the bases loaded remains a mystery.
Last night's game ended with the highlight of the series. Only 21 major league at bats and only 24 years old, Brett Gardner (subbing for the injured Johnny Damon) managed to win the game in the 10th. This picture from yankees.com pretty much sums up how the team felt about that.
I know it's not looking good for the Yankees this year and they may miss the playoffs for the first time in a dozen or so years but I will take the little moments and enjoy them for what they're worth. I may also start cheering for the Devil Rays - anything's better than the Red Sox!
