Finally, after 159 games the 2008 Yankees have defined their season – they were able to keep the Boston Paw Sox (yes, the Red Sox played a lineup full of minor leaguers) from the AL East title. With the 19-8 beat-down, the Rays backed into the AL East title and Yankee fans have bragging rights for the final three days of the regular season.
For those historians – the last time the Yankees won 19-8 in Fenway, the Red Sox didn’t lose a game the rest of the year.
So congrats to the Yankees and their fans, now sit back and enjoy the Red Sox post-season run to their second consecutive and third championship in five years.
