"Another Tragedy in August: the Bronx Massacre"

I want to be the first one to dub this the Bronx Massacre of the Fenway. I'm still high off of last night's sweep. This is the only variety of imperialism I openly support.

Let it rock: Yanks sweep aside Sox yankees.com: News:

NEW YORK -- The Yankees have waited all season for their new palace to rock like home, echoing with the concrete-rippling thunder that used to make the experience so intimidating for opponents across the street.

They glanced into the triple-decked wonder this weekend and could agree: the energy is back. Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira pumped the volume with back-to-back eighth inning home runs as the Yankees rallied for a 5-2 win and an emotional four-game sweep of the Red Sox.
As Teixeira watched his go-ahead shot off Daniel Bard soar high into the night sky, he carried his bat down to first base, casting it aside when the drive stayed fair. The fourth sellout crowd of the weekend erupted into a frenzy, serenading the falling Red Sox with chants of 'Sweep! Sweep!'
'That's Yankee Stadium for you,' Teixeira said. 'This place hasn't been around as much as the old one, but I remember being a part of a few games as a visitor. It felt like the place was shaking. It was kind of that feeling tonight.'"
