BOSTON - They have outpitched them, outhit them, beaten them early and run away from them late. Saturday night, the New York Yankees went after Boston with the truncheon.

Still striving to get to the top of the A.L. East, the Yankees now have the longest winning streak -- nine games -- of any team in the Major League this season.

Another game, another postseason classic. It will be news if the Red Sox and Yankees ever play a yawner. Last night certainly does not qualify.

Mayor Tom Menino must be proud. His Boston Red Sox just won their first World Series in 86 years and his Hyde Park Blue Stars yesterday clinched their first Super Bowl berth in 32 years, defeating O'Bryant, 14-0. Who would have thought?

The Boston Red Sox are the American League champions because of a history-making win against the New York Yankees. But when the World Series starts Saturday night in Fenway Park, the Red Sox will still be trying to set themselves free from a curse that's tortured them for 86 seasons.

No Friday night miracles this time. The Red Sox, who boosted the hopes of their fandom with an inspired comeback victory over Mariano Rivera and the Yankees in the Bronx Sept. 17, were unable to repeat that feat last night.

New England is at once sleepless, breathless, and full of hope. David Ortiz and the Red Sox just beat the Yankees in two extra-inning playoff games on the same calendar day. This century-long Sox-Yankee show, featuring themes of revenge and redemption, moves back to New York tonight.

Break up the Red Sox. A similar cry could be heard from beaten rivals when the Yankees dominated the World Series half a century ago. Now that the Olde Towne Team has won its second October Classic in four years, how many of last night's champagne-spattered champions will be back next spring?

Talk about an East Coast bias! One look at the latest All-Star balloting is enough to make anyone outside New York and Boston cringe. The Mets, Yankees and Red Sox have dominated the fan vote so thoroughly this season that 10 of 16 starters &amp;#151; not including the two pitchers &amp;#151; on July 11 in Pittsburgh could come from those three teams.

My rÃÂ¿sumÃÂ¿ is pretty short when it comes to endurance events. There was that 23- hour nonstop drive from New Hampshire to South Carolina back in 1987, and I vaguely remember a St. Patrick's Day drinking contest at the University of Maryland that lasted quite a while (thanks, Norman).

Are these guys ever going to have a game that doesn't come down to the last possession? It seems that, if nothing else, the Celtics give you 48 minutes worth. Sometimes more.

Was Sunday Curt Schilling Night or Tom Brady Night at Gillette Stadium? Probably a lot of both. First, the sellout crowd was able to celebrate the Boston
