Breaking out the brooms

An excellent weekend at the friendly confines of Fenway Park as the Red Sox swept the NY Yankees in three games.

In Friday's game, at which your humble blogger was seated, Jason Bay hit a two-run dinger to tie the game then Kevin "Yooooooouk" Youkilis hits a walk-off home run in the 11th.

Saturday's game was an old-fashioned slug-fest with the Sox prevailing in 16-11, four hour, 21 minute game that featured 12 pitchers and 385 pitches.



But the Sox saved the best for last on Sunday night's nationally televised game, which featured Sox Centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury stealing home plate.

Sweet.

My fave quote from the NY Post about Ellsbury's steal:

"It hasn't taken the 25-year-old Ellsbury long to establish a reputation as a dare devil on the bases, and last night he became Evel Knievel clearing a row of dump trucks."
