Perfect Day in the Back Bay

The Red Sox finish off the celebration of their World Series victory with an 8-1 drubbing of the Yankees. Wakefield, Mantei and Foulke were all masterful shutting down the Bronx Bombers. For Red Sox fans, you couldn't have scripted the day any better.

The Yankees defense betrayed Mussina again. Mike did manage five strikeouts, but balls in play were an adventure, although three of his seven runs allowed were unearned, there were other plays that went for hits between Williams and Sheffield that should have been caught.

Great to see Mantei have a clean inning. If he pitches like he's able, the Sox might not have to worry about the 8th inning the rest of the season...

That was a perfect day only if you're a Red Sox fan! :)

Well, Bernie's on the decline, and I think everyone knows that he's never going to be the solid defensive outfielder he was in years past. Wouldn't surprise me to see him retire at the end of the year.
