Yankees 2, Boston 1

My treat to myself is that I'm gong to sit down tomorrow and contemplate the wonderfulness of the last four days.

It is difficult to properly digest/take in/comprehend what happened in those four infamous days. After all, it hadn't happened in some 50 years. However, the following (courtesy of DAN GRAZIANO AND BRENDAN PRUNTY Star-Ledger Staff )
heped me recap the salient moments of the massacre.

Five Key Moments in the Yankees-Red Sox series

1. Johnny Damon leads off Game 1 with a triple against Boston starter Jason Johnson. Damon would score moments later on a Derek Jeter single. The Red Sox never recovered, and neither did Johnson, who was designated for assignment between games of Friday's doubleheader.

2. Derek Jeter hits a two-out, three-run double against Boston reliever Mike Timlin in the top of the seventh inning of Friday's night game. The hit turned a 10-8 Boston lead into an 11-10 Yankees lead and an eventual win.

3. Jorge Posada drives in three runs with a two-out triple in the top of the sixth inning Saturday to blow the game open.

4. With the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the seventh on Sunday night, and Boston leading 5-3, Scott Proctor strikes out Wily Mo Pena and gets Doug Mirabelli to fly out to right. The Yankees go on to tie and then score three in the 10th inning.

5. Bobby Abreu's one-out double in the top of the sixth inning against David Wells in the series finale breaks a scoreless tie. The Yankees go on to win 2-1 and sweep a five-game series at Fenway Park for the first time since September of 1943.
