Boston fans were still reeling after the Red Sox were eliminated by the New York Yankees in the opening round of the playoffs. One of the reasons why they were eliminated was due to the play of Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler, who struck out 12 batters through 8 scoreless innings in a win-or-go-home Game 3.
Even though the Red Sox didn't get far in the playoffs, they can cheer the fact that the Yankeees got eliminated. On wednesday, the Yankees lost 5-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 4 of the ALDS. Now, the Yankees are 16-years without a world Series title.
