Do we need to get the broom out?

The broom may be a little premature, since the weekend series is 5 games, but taking the first three in Fenway is a sweet, sweet thing. Doing it by scoring 39 runs is even sweeter.

"In an unwelcome replay of the 1978 "Boston Massacre," the Yankees scored at least 12 runs in winning each of the first three of the five-game series and extending their lead in the AL East to a season-high 4½ games. Twenty-eight years ago, New York swept four at Fenway in September to erase the rest of what had been a 14-game deficit; the Yankees won the division that year on Bucky Dent's popup homer in a one-game tiebreaker."

The kids have been at the grandparents since Weds, and will be there until this coming Weds, and Julie and I have been enjoying lots of time working on the house, and some needed quiet time. Here's a cute picture of AJ.
