Yankees Sweep Red Sox in Doubleheader

by Stephen Jones

If you’re a Yankees fan, you know:
You have no fingers anymore.
Every game, every ninth inning …
It’s been a steady, three-week diet
Of nonstop nail biting.

And now, after having started
Nine games behind, the Bombers —
Doggedly riding their bus, The Grinder —
Have chased and passed Boston…
There are only 22 games to go.
