Yesterday the Yankees stole the last vestige of hope of winning the AL East from Red Sox Nation. The Yankees completed a 5-game sweep of the Red Sox leaving the only detail what to call the whitewash. Today sportswriters have the job of coming up with a colorful phrase to describe the devastating 5-game debacle. My guess is that with the current decline in talent in the sportswriter ranks - the best phrase will be something lame like "Boston Massacre II".
The original title of Munch's work was "scream passing through nature". I don't run a sports section but if I did I think for today's section I would skip writing any type of analysis of the sweep and simply photoshop a picture of the scream. I would put a Red Sox cap on the guy in the foreground and Yankee caps on the guys in the background. The readers of the sports section would not only get the message - they would probably relate to it very well.
I would title the piece - "scream passing through Red Sox Nation."
