The Yankees rode to Hondo’s rescue last night in Beantown, smacking the Sawx to snap his two-game skid and lower the deficit to 145 foytacks.

Gotta give it up to the Obama Administration, which yesterday managed to turn rising unemployment figures (9.7 to 9.9) into a pep rally for a revived economy because of increased but obviously insuffi cient job creation. Amazing, but that’s what can be achieved with government-media synergy … Want more good news? Economic experts predict unem ployment will rise further in the coming months. All right — happy days are here again!!! hondo@nypost.com
