WHY THE YANKEES WILL BURY THE SOX

The beast is unleashed and it's about to get good for the Yankees. As they approach their final week the regular season, momentum will build and lead them into the playoffs. But I'm getting ahead of myself. The Yankees played the Red Sox tonight and it is clear watching them play, this is a ball club that is on a mission... 28.Freddy Garcia was on the mound against Jon Lester tonight. On paper, Lester wins that battle. But in real life, Lester got wrecked and in only 2.2 innings pitched, and he allowed 8 runs. Freddy on the other hand went 6 innings today, allowed 6 hits and 0 runs. Freddy, a seasoned veteran is ready for the playoffs. You can just tell.The star of the game in my eyes is the kid, Jesus Montero. Again Montero is an animal. Tonight he was 3 for 4, had 4 RBIs, and 2 runs. He had a home run and a double. If Girardi needed to bring anyone to the playoffs, it's Jesus Montero, no doubt.

The Captain cranked out a 3 run home run tonight. Who said this guy is old and can't play baseball anymore? Ladies and Gentlemen, Derek Jeter is batting .297. I'd say, he still has it.
Russell Martin had a 2 RBI single tonight. That's the way to contribute after you verbally destroy the Red Sox saying that you hate them. 2 more games and 2 more wins will put the final nail in the Sox coffin. You gotta love it.

Strangely, there was silence in the order tonight. Curtis Granderson, Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano went 1-16 and had 5 strikeouts. Let's call it a bad day and hopefully that's all if is.

Boone Logan had a strong outing getting 2 big batters, David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez out to end the 8th inning. He looks good, real good and if Logan can keep it up, we'll have the lefty specialist we've wanted all year and finally, in the post season, he'll be ready to roll.

Final Score: Yankees 9 - Red Sox 1

Interesting stat... The Red Sox are 5-17 in September and have lost 6 of their last 7.

Tomorrow, AJ Burnett faces Tim Wakefield in the early game of the doubleheader. In the night game, it's Ivan Nova vs. John Lackey.
