New York Yankees are like karate men: karate men bleed on the inside

This will expecially please Minister Buckethead, late of Ohio:

Besides bringing the Yankees one game closer to losing the division to my beloved Red Sox, my slightly less beloved Indians handed the Yanks their worst loss in the history of the team. Moreover, the 22-0 score matched the record for worst shutout beating since 1900 (the Pirates beat the Cubs by the same score in 1976). That's right: these beatings happen once a century. The last time a team got beaten worse than 22-0, William McKinley was President. [I'm still trying to find a hard cite of this last-worst beating].

More unseemly gloating from Phil Dennison.

NDR, I don't know. My fantasy league babies are on the bubble: If they drop one single point to the 7th place team this week, they're out.

You only ask because your Blernsballers are sitting pretty.

J,

Just wondering whose batters I will feast on in the first round. There is some tight competition for those last slots.

Damn straight. And despite the relative suckiness of the tribe over the years, the last record beating the Yankees had was also at the hand of the Indians.

Makes me proud, it does.

I never thought I would see the day in September when the Red Sox were 3 1/2 games back of the Yankees.
