It's Becoming Frustrating to Be a Yankees Fan

Just when I thought that the Yankees were going to get the final game of a 3-game series in New York last night against the hated Red Sox, CC melted down and the Yanks gave up 7 runs in the 7th inning.  The loss is now the second time this year that the Yankees have been swept at home by the Red Sox.  That's just unheard of.  They are now two games back of Boston and it is just infuriating to see those arrogant fans celebrating like this.

At least one thing to look forward to last night is that CC finally took charge and threw at and hit Big Papi. David Cone said it best on the MLB Network that "... now Teixiera, Jeter, and Rodriguez know that their ace has their back."  I still would like a win though.
This loss has dropped the Yankees to 1-8 against Boston this season, but it isn't panic time yet.  Remember two years ago, the year the Yankees won the World Series, they dropped the first 8 games to Boston in the season and wound up winning 9 of the last 10 to gain a season series split.

And let's look at the bright side (if there is one to losing to the Red Sox) that the Yanks are only 2GB of Boston, but these head-to-head games are the ones that could cost the team the pennant at the end of the season.
