Yankee Diddle*

And yet, just as doom seems to take hold, a girl reads the following on espn.com:

Red Sox 11, Yankees 4

NEW YORK (AP) -- At this rate, the Boston Red Sox will blow the New York Yankees out of the AL East race before summer.

Daisuke Matsuzaka overcame control problems to defeat the Yankees for the second time in six days, and Kevin Youkilis and Julio Lugo homered. With a come-from-behind 11-4 victory over Andy Pettitte on Friday night, Boston improved to 4-0 against its longtime rival this season.

I believe in a place called Hope. Or at least a place called Fenway.


*PS: "Diddle," not as in cheating but as in dabbling, being amateur, before anyone accuses me of casting aspersions on the gentlemen from NY. ;)
