Thank You Yankees

The Red Sox entered the game 0-6 and everyone was panicking and the Yankees came into town 4-2. If the Yankees would have swept us or even won 2 of 3 their would have been mass panic around Boston. In game 1, John Lackey tried his hardest to give the game away letting up 6 runs, but Phil Hughes and his 88 mile an hour fastball decided to suck even more. The 1st game wasn't pretty but it got the Sox off their losing streak, Sox win 9-6. Game 2 was another toss up that went the Yanks favor. NY knocked around Clay Buchholz around but Ivan Nova wasn't better himself. However, our offense wasn't able to take advantage and the Yanks pulled away 9-4. I went to the game yesterday, I have lost all faith in Josh Beckett and seeing the starting match ups with him against CC Sabathia it made me quiver. CC Sabathia is really good and the Yankees Ace and Becket has been playing more like a has been than the player that deserved a 4 year, 70 million dollar contract. Well yesterday you can forget that, Beckett threw an absolute gem as he went 8 innings, allowed 2 hits and struck out 10. CC meanwhile got knocked around in 5 and 2/3s innings allowing 9 hits, walking 4. He may have only let up 1 ER however, he wasn't pitching like the player we all were accustomed to. Sox won 4-0 and won 2 of 3 against the Yankees and more importantly got their confidence back. This could be the game that gets Beckett back to being the Ace he once was. So thank you Yankees for not taking advantage of a situation to knock out a foe, thank you Yankees for giving us our confidence back and your welcome for showing you how to fill a stadium in a home opener.
