Massacre In New YorkThe World Series Champion Boston Red Sox walked all over the New York Yankees on the Yankees home turf this Saturday afternoon. The Red Sox scored 17 runs on 27 hits en route to a 17-1 wallop of their American League rivals. With the win Sox pitcher Matt Clement moved to 6-0 on the season getting better-than-good run support from the Red Sox hitters. "Our offense took it personally today. This offense, we haven't even seen what they're going to do," Clement said. "We had to respond because the Yankees are playing so good right now." New York allowed its most hits since giving up a franchise-record 28 on Sept. 29, 1928, in a 19-10 loss at Detroit. "We'll look for a pick-me-up tomorrow," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "Hopefully, we'll get back on track and play the type of baseball we've been used to the last three weeks. You've got to brush it off."

"I can't guarantee it, but the preference is to keep them," said Brian Cashman when asked about whether they would be held through the trade deadline. "We need to get younger and stay younger. They are young and having input in a pennant race. That bodes well for them long-term here rather than being dealt for a quick fix." Still, Cashman cautioned, "These guys are assets and you use them to help your team win or you use them as pieces to help acquire people to help your team win. That's the history of our sport."
