Another Shank Pirouette

The Red Sox crushed the Yankees last night, 16 - 1. Naturally, Shank's singing a whole different tune than he was yesterday:
NEW YORK — Take that, Aaron Judge!

The star Yankee outfielder had a little fun at the expense of the Red Sox after New York’s 6-2 win at Fenway Saturday night. On his way to the team bus in the underbelly of the ancient yard, Judge strolled past the Sox clubhouse with his boom box blaring Sinatra’s Yankee victory song, “New York, New York.’’

It was supposed to feed into New England’s worst fears. The 108-win Red Sox were going to roll over for the big, bad Bronx Bombers. Just like in the bad old days.
That's what Shank has been rooting for a couple of months, wasn't it?

Naturally, the column isn't without its' negativity and assholery:
Sweet. I haven’t felt this good about the Red Sox’ chances in a playoff series against the Yankees since Pedro Martinez took a 5-2 lead into the eighth inning of Game 7 at the Stadium in 2003.

  1. If they win tonight this fraud will hijack the bandwagon.

    The double NYs represent the the two places the Sox will begin their fantastic post-season victory run in opposing ballparks.
