It will be priceless to hear the excuses from Sox fans, and we know it will be suddenly "ok or everyone else is doing it too" LOL

The truth is that probably everyone is doing it. It just so happens that they're the cheating bastages that got caught. We might as well enjoying tweaking them while we can.
 
Just an awful turn around late last night. Joe kept CC in too long and then Betances crapped the bed. This while the Jays blow the 2-0 lead in the 9th then can't hit for 20 innings.

This one is killer and could be the one that hurts the most once we look back. Sox must have found their Apple watches in the 9th I guess, too bad.:oops:
 
Stick Michael died of a heart attack at 79.

May the architect of the 90s dynasty rest in peace.
 
RIP Stick great baseball guy for the Yanks.

The first SS I rotted for growing up, nice fielder but couldn't hit hi sway out of a wet paper bag, awful. Still turned out to be face of the Yankee management and scouting.

Also note that Castro, Holliday are back in the lineup. Ellsbury has been a positive contributor. This has helped Judge because it is now tougher to pitch around him. I think Judge has also worked diligently on his stroke and to cut down on the K's.

As to JSM - put him on ignore a while ago.
 
New rookie homerun record - 50 by Judge.

Judge is the 5th Yankee in history to hit 50 in a season. The others are Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and A-Rod.

Who are those scrubs? Probably just a bunch other guys pitchers figured out for easy K's.
 
Through 5 inning today v. the BJs No Mas Tanaka has 10 strikeouts.

Man, this guy. A total box of chocolates.
 
Most important game of the season and it's not on TV or radio here in CT??!! :mad: Supposed to be on Fox but Fox 61 is showing the Red Sux game. Unbelievable.
 
91 wins with this team, fantastic year. Hate it's only one game, it's ridiculous and I hope the Yanks win obviously but no matter a great year with a lot better stuff coming.

Santana always one of those guys who's had great stuff but seemed to find it more consistently this year, will be tough and we can only hope Severino has his A game. If they can get into a 3 of 5 with the Indians they can take some of the pain the Giants are inflicting away until the Huskies start.

You pretty much captured it for me too. I'd consider this season a success regardless of the outcome of tomorrow's game, but it would still hurt badly. My bet is on Bird to come up with a big hit to advance the Yanks. With Judge's September heroics, Bird's return to preseason form has gone somewhat below the radar.

I was at the game when Tex fouled the ball off his leg and Bird came in. Can't quite remember how it all went, but the Yankees beat the Twins in extra innings that game.

Another great start for him, 0-2 with 2Ks

Honestly, he borderline sucks. I think that first 1/2 was a huge anomaly. He was terrible in 2016. He's not young.
Expand ...
Realize this post is old-ish, but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

He's "not young" ??? He put up an OPS of .854 in AAA in 2016 while he was 2.5 years younger than the average player in AAA. That makes him, BY DEFINITION, "young".

He's 25 years old and put up the best offensive numbers in all of baseball. Your take is shockingly stupid.

Don't forget, this team is quite young, was terrible in 1 run games which has proven to be a matter of almost pure luck that always regresses to the mean regardless if you were good OR bad. And they have the 2nd best run differential in baseball, which is a better indicator of overall quality / talent. I would not sleep on this team in this or any other near future post-season. Only bummer is if they get by the Twins, they face the only team in baseball with a better run differential.

Hard to tell which game it was since the Yankees have beaten the twins in 349 straight games.
 
5 words...

The Bird...is the word.
 
WOW what a classic not exactly how you would draw it up. Bats wasted no time tying it up and getting the Yankee stadium crowd into it. What a performance by the pen, and who says Judge isn't clutch.

Well the Yankees have 92 wins (just as I predicted) and are in the play-offs (not what I predicted) but the head scratcher is:
Sonny Gray? Has he been successful at the Jake? This is where I defer to the manager knowing more than I do about the personnel on his team.

CC would have been my choice to start game 1, Gray did nothing tonight although the lineup got completely shutdown so its all epidemic, Cleveland is just too good, this is why I wanted the Yankees to get to the ALDS so that they can go through the growing pains against a great team in order to become a great team. Its not gonna be any easier tomorrow against Kluber, it is what it is.
 
I can't wait for the Yankees - Red Sox consolation series. It might get better numbers than the Cleveland - Houston ALCS

Ill definitely pull for one of those 2 if the Yankees can't pull of the upset.

Its been too long since this rivalry was truly on, I thought the called third strike against Judge in the 6th was bs!

Both teams are young, its only a matter of time for the rivalry to heat up, im hoping the Sox keep Farrell ill take Girardi over Farrell any day. Yeah that 3rd strike was total BS Girardi should've gone out there and gotten himself ejected try to fire up the team a little.
