Yankees look for sweep; Astros try to pull even

October 17, 2004 BRISTOL, Connecticut (Ticker) - After a record-breaking rout against the Boston Red Sox in Game Three, the New York Yankees are on the verge of their 40th World Series appearance.

The Yankees - and the two teams combined - set a League Championship Series record for runs scored in a 19-8 rout of the Red Sox on Saturday, taking a three games to none lead. Of the 25 instances when a team has taken such a best-of-seven series lead previously, it has closed out the series in four games 20 times.

The chances of New York advancing to the World Series for the seventh time in nine years are very good considering no baseball team has ever come back from a three-game playoff series deficit. New York will give the ball to Orlando Hernandez, who jumped out to an 8-0 start this year before shoulder problems resulted in a finish of 0-2 with an 8.03 ERA. In his one start against Boston this season, "El Duque" pitched just three innings due to a rain delay.

Boston will pin its survival hopes on 14-game winner Derek Lowe, who was moved up from a potential Game Five start after the Red Sox used scheduled Game Four starter Tim Wakefield out of the bullpen Saturday. Lowe has a career 3.50 ERA in the postseason but was saddled with a 9.28 ERA against New York during the regular season.

Quantrill may not be back, but he should have never had to enter this game had the Yanks scored ONE measly run in the last 6 innings.

I agree. Gordon was lights out for two innings, and the Yanks didn't take advantage of it.

I was just doing some study on the internet. Looks like Ted Kennedy was born the same year Babe Ruth played with the Yankees in his last World Series against the Cubs. Maybe he really is the curse?

It'll be an interesting game tomorrow.

Pedro versus the Moose. Talk about a dreadful circumstance.

This is the third save this year that Rivera blew to the Red Sox. Anyway, I can't believe I am still up. Have to be up at 5AM for work.

Yes, good show Sox.

But we all know how it will end, don't we? Ashes in Boston's mouth.

(I'm no Yankees fan, but some things in life are certain: death, taxes, and post-season tears for the Red Sox.)
