Yeah, it was kind of a heart-breaker, to see America's team lose to Boston's team.

No panic, but no comfort, for Yankees
Winless against Red Sox, Girardi's club looks for positives

NEW YORK -- Throughout the Yankees' clubhouse on Tuesday night, players tried to downplay the question lingering in everybody's mind.

That they had just fallen for the fifth straight time against the Red Sox to start the season was just a coincidence. Mark Teixeira maintained that New York's 7-3 loss on Tuesday was no different any other. Jose Molina argued that the Yankees "don't care about that," and the problem was simply a matter of some unfortunate timing and bad luck.

Instead of lingering on their series with the Red Sox, the Yankees after Tuesday's game immediately turned their attention to what's coming next -- a two-game series at home against the defending AL champion Rays, who currently sit two games behind the Yankees in the AL East.

The best remedy for a disappointing week is a quick turnaround and a win to snap a three-game losing streak.

"Remember, it's a long season," Molina said. "We play [the Red Sox] many, many times. We're going to forget about these two games and try to get back tomorrow against Tampa and beat them."

As the Mets found out, beating the Atlanta Braves--self-proclaimed as "America's Team"--in Atlanta was just what the Mets needed.  It's the first sweep of Atlanta, in Atlanta, in 20 years.

That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
