Yankee glory at Fenway!!!!!!!!!!
Pettitte no-hit the Sox for 4 innings (video of the first hit and Jeter's putout here) as Penny was rocked repeatedly and forced out of the game in the 5th. Bowden, his replacement, was even more brutally hammered by the Yankee bats, so badly that fans were left wondering if there would be any fallout from this (he was sent down after the game). Eventually Delcarmen and Ramon Ramirez were asked to come on and stop the bleeding, and neither of them was able to. After the 6 run 4th Pettitte couldn’t find his rhythm and was replaced by a succession of poor performances, broken only by the return of Marte, who pitched to two batters and got them both out impressively. Will he be a playoff weapon after all? What a crazy year he’s had…I gave up on him as soon as he got injured but it’s just such a long season and anything can happen. Anyway Mitre followed and pitched exceedingly poorly. The good news: the Yankees never had to use Aceves, Robertson, Coke, or Hughes. And they, especially Jeter, Matsui, Tex and A-Rod just pounded on everyone the Sox sent out there. It was a glorious day at Fenway, a 4 hour whipping that began the process of banishing memories of the early defeats here this season.
