Red Sox catcher Christian Vazquez trolled the Yankees after limping out of the Bronx again. OK, bud.

The New York Yankees have (you might want to sit down for this) won 10 straight games against the Boston Red Sox, and 11 consecutive home games against them.

That is sustained dominance in this rivalry unlike anything we’ve really ever seen. Even when one of these teams is bad, they generally end up drawing to a season-series tie simply because of the natural momentum of the duo.

But, nope! Not anymore! Just 21 months after Alex Cora told Yankees fans to “suck on it” (which was very managerial of him) and a drunk Bostonian chucked a full Coors Light at the World Series trophy and dented it, this is a non-competitive slate.

Instead of going home with his tail between his legs after failing to fight back for even one inning in four games, Sox catcher Christian Vazquez decided to fuel the “comeback” after the series was already well over.

He also tried to use Yankees fans’ tried and true “27 rings” argument? For some reason?

Oh, wow, Christian. Very effective. The Yankees are sobbing right now. You got ’em.

The worst part about this is Red Sox fans were definitely loving it. “You tell ’em, Christian! ONE ring!”

Most importantly, perhaps, Brett Gardner has a ring in that Yankees dugout. 2009. Google it.

Secondly, I … wouldn’t be bragging about that 2018 World Series if I were, well, anyone. But especially if I were Vazquez.

Yes, if you’re keeping score, Vazquez didn’t contribute during that postseason run, even with every cheating advantage at his disposal. He then went on to help lead the charge in the greatest backslide in modern baseball history, culminating in an embarrassing trade for the ages and a 6-17 start. So let’s get that limp trash talk going!

You want to talk about history? Your team won the 1918 World Series, sold star outfielder Babe Ruth, and then got cursed for 86 years. When you broke that curse, the world cheered! They wrote books about you! And then you……..DID IT AGAIN!

You won the 2018 World Series (’18 and ’18, sounds familiar), then sold star outfielder Mookie Betts! How can one franchise be so naive? I thought you were just bragging about how you remember stuff!

But enjoy that one ring you didn’t earn. No, really. Go nuts, man.
