This, ladies and gentlemen, is a beautiful, beautiful paragraph:
Boston, the AL East leader, took three in a row at Yankee Stadium and extended New York’s losing streak to a season-high four. Despite a record $183 million payroll, the listless Yankees left their booing fans to wonder when all those heralded All-Stars will start justifying their stratospheric salaries.
“A great weekend for baseball,” e-mails Scott Lucy, my New York co-worker and Red Sox buddy. Indeed.
So far this season, Boston is 6-1 against New York. GO SAWX!
