Yanks/Red Sox recap

The game today in Fenway Park was a wild one but the bottom line is that the Yankees let another one get away. A.J. Burnett had a 6-0 lead and was cruising through the first 3 innings looking unhittable and then just imploded giving up 8 runs in 5 innings. The bullpen wasn't much better giving up 8 more runs and running through Jose Veras, Phil Coke, Jon Albaladejo, Dave Robertson, Edwar Ramirez, Damaso Marte. The Yankees desperately need Andy Pettitte to go out tomorrow night and stop the bleeding by pitching a good game and going deep to rest this bullpen. If the Yankees can get one they will salvage the series although it will still be disappointing but then they have to move on to Detroit have a good series and come back home and play well. The Yankees right now are a mess after this weekend but that is the way it goes sometimes in Fenway Park. The Boston Red Sox are hot right now and look unbeatable at home and the Yankees need to put an end to that tomorrow night. The bright side today was the offense, Robinson Cano had two homeruns and basically everyone was involved, Mark Teixeira walked 5 times tying a team record.
