BOSTON -- It was a debacle and it didn't matter.
The Yankees physically were at Fenway Park, playing their final game of the regular season, one that would have no affect on their postseason standing.
Mentally, they seemed already on the plane to New York City, ready for a couple days of rest before a game that could either end their year or start an October run toward the World Series.
The Red Sox whacked the Yankees, 10-2, in Game No. 162, with manager Aaron Boone writing a lineup that will look nothing like the one he'll throw out against the A's in the American League Wild Card Game, while using a handful of arms that won't even be on the roster for it.
