Sunday Aftternoon - 4:21 (16-11 Loss)
Sunday Night - 3:09 ( 4 - 1 Loss)

So since Friday night, I've spent 11 hours and 53 minutes watching the Yankees get smacked up by the Red Sox. I spent nearly half a day watching 3 embarrassing games, all of which the Yankees had ample opportunity to put the game away and hold on to leads that hey taken. I think I'll just point out to me what were the highlights of this weekends games, cause frankly the Yanks do not deserve a nice complete blog about this series.

Saturdays game , the 16-11 Loss :
Highlights:
- Almost everybody got at least one hit. Tex didn't, but he walked 5 times, so that's cool.
- Cano got 2 HR's and continued to look great at the plate
- Phil Coke pitched 2/3rds of an inning without giving up a run, a hit, or even a walk!

Yeah.. that's about it for Saturday.

Sunday highlights :
- Cano and Matsui both went 2 for 4 and looked solid at the plate. Hopefully Matsui is feeling better since his knee drainings, and can continue to help out some more.
- Melancon made his MLB debut, coming in after Pettite in the 7th. He pitched 2 innings without giving up a run! A 1-2-3 7th, then he bailed himself out of a bases loaded, nobody out situation in the 8th.
- The "Let a Stranger Drive You Home" Commercial, as seen here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jqZTJk30qg . This commercial was on multiple times during the game, and was possibly the best time I had all weekend watching Yankee baseball. YOUUUUU... YOU GOT WHAT I NEEEEED... AND YOU SAY HE'S JUST A FRIEND, AND YOU SAY HE'S JUST A FRIEND OHHH BABY

YYYYYOUUUUUUU...

Worst part of the weekend:
Ellsbury steals home, fox booth creams themselves and sells the replay as the new viagra.
