if aliens come down to earth and command us to combine the red sox and yankees rosters and select the best possible team to compete for our galactic survival, i'm pretty sure this is the starting lineup we'd send to space:
1) Jacoby Ellsbury CF
2) Dustin Pedroia 2B
3) Adrian Gonzalez 1B
4) Kevin Youkilis 3B
5) David Ortiz DH
6) Carl Crawford LF
7) Josh Reddick RF
8) Jarrod Saltalamacchia C
9) Marco Scutaro SS

The fact that Papelbon blew the entire season makes this exponentially more enjoyable than it would have been if they just choked like they likely would have done anyway.
People older than you can remember a time when the Yankees fared extraordinarily well during winning time. You might enjoy asking them to regale you with tales of those long past days. But if you ask them if those days will come to be once more any time soon, the most kind of them will let you down gently and tell you what is deep in their hearts.
Look to the horizon, they'll tell you. If you look close enough, you'll understand.
Spoiler:
The champs are coming. I'd best get out the ****ing way.

Now it's time to ship the rings.
