Twenty-five years ago I arrived in the Boston area for college. My matriculation coincided with the famous four game series between the Yankees and Red Sox known as the Boston Massacare. It was 1978, and the Red Sox had a 13 1/2 game lead in the middle of July on the Yankees, but by Sept. 7, the Yankees had cut that lead to four games and were starting a four game series with Boston. The Yankees swept the series and pounded the Red Sox by a combined score of 42-9.

Twenty-five years later, the Red Sox come into Yankee Stadium 3 1/2 games back, and are pounding the Yankees. They won 9-3 last night, and just hammered Roger Clemens for six runs in the fourth, all but two earned. It's 7-0, and Wakefield has retired the first 11 batters. Will this go down in history as the Breaking of the Bronx?
