We got to see some great pitching performances, some really good hitting performances, and one clutch back breaking come back.
That was an absolute slaughter. They're calling it a new Boston Massacre in the New York media.
Delicious! Amazing! Wonderful to live through!
I still remember the massacre of '06. Talk about disheartening, but at least we were in most of the games, in fact IIRC we had a lead in 4 of those 5 games at one point or another despite the massive flaws in the 06 roster. These Yankees weren't even competitive in 3 of the 4 games, and the one time they were competitive, we broke their backs by killing their closer in the 9th.
One of the best rivalry experiences in my memory. So fun to go back over those 4 games and review the highlights. Pierce. Porcello. Eovaldi. And finally, Benintendi, the Invisible Superstar.
And we moved the Yankees all the way out of the division race in a single weekend.
We'll be remembering this one for a very long time. The rotation was outstanding, even the replacement guy did his job. The bullpen was barely used outside of the Johnson game, so they should be pretty fresh for the August stretch too, and the Yankee bullpen is blown to smithereens.
In short we gave our main rivals a memorable whupping and the division is probably ours now. So fun.
