SWEEP!

Ah, what a game. The Red Sox swept the Yankers right out of town last night, coming back to win each of the three games. Some of the many highlights of last night included a three-run homer by Mike Lowell to take the lead for good in the 7th, an amazing game-saving diving catch by Dustin Pedrioa in the 8th, and a lights-out performance by Jonathan Papelbon, getting A-Fraud to ground out to end the game. The greatest moments came in the 3rd, however, when the Red Sox, down 3-0 at the time, took the lead when Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek smacked 4 straight homers over 10 pitches, "chasing" the rookie Chase Wright from the game.

For the rest of the inning, all the buzz in our section was "Have you ever seen that?", "I've never seen that", and "That's gotta be a record". When TLM and I got home I quickly looked it up and found out this was the fifth time in history a team has gone back-to-back-to-back-to-back, and on an interesting side note, J.D. Drew was the second to homer in the last time it happened as well when the Dodgers hit 4 in a row against the Padres last September.

Season series so far: Red Sox 3, Skanky Yankees 0.
