This week, for the second time this season, the Red Sox came into the Bronx and swept a three-game series from the Yankees. This time around, they got to Freddy Garcia on Tuesday, then to A.J. Burnett on Wednesday, and finally, to CC Sabathia in the wee hours this morning. And to make matters worse, the Yankees learned yesterday that Joba Chamberlain was likely headed for season-ending Tommy John surgery. Needless to say, this Yankees homestand is off to a pretty terrible start. But what happened this week that didn’t involve a certain Red Sox fan/baseball-cap endorser saying that he doesn’t actually hate the Yankees?
