Details of Yankees / Red Sox game. (I didn't even watch any of it !) October 16, 1999 Steinbrenner Upset After Big Loss Filed at 9:41 p.m. EDT By The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) -- George Steinbrenner didn't pay $85 million to see this. Especially not in the playoffs. Especially not against the Boston Red Sox. The New York Yankees owner walked through the clubhouse after Boston's record-setting 13-1 rout Saturday that pulled the Red Sox to 2-1 in the best-of-7 AL Championship Series. ``This is not the way we play Yankee baseball,' he said. ``We've got to get it out of our system.' Roger Clemens was pounded for five runs and six hits in two-plus innings. Hideki Irabu gave up eight runs and 13 hits in 4 2-3 innings. ``Obviously, this game was a huge lift to their club,' Yankees catcher Joe Girardi said. It was the largest margin of defeat for the Yankees in their 254 postseason games, topping the 12-1 loss to Atlanta in Game 1 of the 1996 World Series. The 13 runs matched the most against the Yankees in the postseason, accomplished by the New York Giants (13-5) in Game 3 of the 1921 World Series, the Brooklyn Dodgers (13-8) in Game 2 of the 1956 Series and the Milwaukee Braves (13-5) in Game 2 of the 1958 World Series. And the 21 hits were a record, too, one more than the Giants had during Game 3 in 1921. ``Obviously, we have to forget about this,' said catcher Jorge Posada, who took over from Girardi in the fourth. ``That's easy to say and not so easy to do.' The World Series champions had won 12 consecutive postseason games, tying the record set by the Yankees during Series sweeps in 1927, '28 and '32. The streak is over, and the possibility of a sweep is gone. ``In a short series, a game turns it momentum-wise,' Yankees manager Joe Torre said. ``For sure, the Red Sox feel good about themselves tonight and we are just the opposite. But that is what makes these short series great. It tests your insides, basically.' With on-and-off Andy Pettitte starting Game 4 against Bret Saberhagen on Sunday night, there's a possibility the best-of-7 series could be tied. ``It's 2-to-1,' Paul O'Neill said. ``We have to think no matter how bad they beat us up tonight, we're still up 2-to-1.'
