Just wondering if this weekend rings any bells for you Red Sox fans:
July 14th, 2005: Yankees win 8-6
heading was: A-Rod, Mo provide closure
To jog your memory: Alex Rodriguez drilled a two-run home run to center in the ninth to give the Yankees a thrilling comeback victory over the Red Sox on Thursday. Mariano Rivera struck out all three batters he faced to notch his 21st straight save.
July 16th, 2005: Yankees win 7-4
Heading was: Six-run third paves way
To jog your memory: Alex Rodriguez got things going with a two-run homer in the third inning, and then Bernie Williams, John Flaherty and Derek Jeter each notched RBIs in New York's six-run frame. Randy Johnson allowed four runs and fanned 10 over 6 1/3 innings of work.
July 17th, 2005: Yankees win 5-3
Heading Was: Leiter dazzles in debut
To Jog your memory: Al Leiter allowed one run on three hits and struck out eight over 6 1/3 innings in his Yankees debut as the Bombers won three of four from the Red Sox. Jorge Posada and Gary Sheffield hit two-run homers while Alex Rodriguez added a solo shot to aid the cause.
Looks like you Red Sux couldn't handle Alex Rodriguez and the rest of the team in that series. Aweee too bad huh?
