Is there honestly a better feeling in the world than taking it to the Red Sox at Fenway? I really don’t think there is. It always makes for a good night’s sleep after a thrashing of the hated Red Sox Nation.

As I was watching the game yesterday, I could do nothing but smile as I watched the chowdas go down in a blaze of glory as Phil Hughes and the Yankees offensive firepower was too much for Josh Beckett and the Red Sox.

One of the best things about this victory is that the Yankees are playing with a beaten up lineup. They went into the game with two starters (Posada and Granderson) recovering from injuries, and finished the game with two more injured players in Robinson Cano and Nick Johnson with a sore knee from a wild pitch, and a sore wrist.

How the Yankees continue to dominate is beyond me, however, I am enjoying the ride. Aren’t you?

The New York Yankees battered the Boston Red Sox and took some more lumps themselves.Nick Swisher hit a three-run homer in an 11-hit attack that carried the Yankees to their fifth straight win, 10-3 on Friday night. But their injury list grew when they lost Nick Johnson in the fifth inning with a sore right wrist and Robinson Cano in the sixth after he was hit on the left knee by a suddenly wild Josh Beckett.

NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez is back in the New York Yankees’ lineup, and manager Joe Girardi is hoping struggling starter Javier Vazquez just needs a couple extra days to snap out of his funk.

Vazquez’s scheduled start at Boston has been pushed back to Monday at Detroit, giving the right-hander more time to work on his stuff after a rough beginning this year. Vazquez is 1-3 with a 9.78 ERA in his second stint with New York.

Girardi says he thinks Vazquez’s problems have affected him mentally and physically.

Rodriguez rested during New York’s 12-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. He says he felt some cramping in his right leg Saturday but is fine now.

I honestly can’t be too upset with Joe Girardi’s decision to pitch to Kendry Morales. The guy has not been playing all that well this year, but I guess he gets big hits when he needs to. Very upsetting.

My biggest concern about the way that the Yanks played yesterday is the fact that they only had three hits the entire game! That can’t be good. Not many teams in this league will win a ball gamer with only three hits.

Really, that was the big story of the night. Forget the fact that Morales got lucky and hit a bomb without throwing out his back. The Angels bullpen just showed up to play and they shut down all of our hitters. I guess they are loaded with a whole bunch of Mariano Riveras. Pretty digusting display of hitting if you ask me.

Let’s hope that the Yanks can get over this loss. Yeah, they aren’t playing that bad, but if they don’t look out, the Rays are going to take a big lead in the AL East before long.
