The Yankees and Red Sox play the ESPN Sunday night game often because, well, they put on a great show.

Case in point last night, though I could have imagined a more victorious outcome for the Bronx Bombers.

The team of my youth was shut down by none other than Michael Wacha.

Michael Wacha, seriously? Guy’s having a great season, having found in Boston the groove he had long ago as an ace for the Cardinals.

He’s been around forever, gotta be around my age, right?

Oh, wait, he’s nine years younger than I am.

Ouch.
