"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

How’ve You Been?

The Sox and Yanks meet up for three at the Stadium sporting the top two records in baseball, respectively. After their little dust-up at Fenway, the media has pounced all over “The Return of the Rivalry” storyline, which is to be expected, I get it. Truth is, these are both mostly amiable teams, and they are both really good.

Luis is on the hill tonight and while he’s due for a dud here’s hoping it ain’t tonight.

Never mind the hype:

Let’s Go Yank-ees!

David Price scratched for hand numbness.

2 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 6:07 pm

Wow, Mutts actually got a warm body for Harvey

3 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 6:10 pm

Well, let's get this shit on!

4 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 6:19 pm

No harm, no foul

5 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 6:40 pm

Giancarlo!

6 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 6:41 pm

FRICKIN' LAZER!

7 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 6:58 pm

Meh, that was underwhelming.

8 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 7:33 pm

A True Yankee now

9 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 7:44 pm

Blergh

10 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 7:47 pm

[9] I'll see your blergh and raise you an AARRRRGH.

11 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 7:50 pm

Could have been worse ...

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 8:04 pm

Luis!

13 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 8:07 pm

More runs, please

14 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 8:19 pm

Fucking Bollocks! Nice game, Luis!

15 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 8:32 pm

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 8:32 pm

Fuck boston.

17 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 8:44 pm

Neil Walker can hit. Huzzah.

18 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 8:45 pm

Jeez, go to let the dogs out and the lead goes

19 knuckles   ~  May 8, 2018 8:49 pm

Hlet’s hget hto Hembree here.

20 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 8:52 pm

Oooh, balk.

21 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 8:54 pm

Here comes The Judge!

22 Boatzilla   ~  May 8, 2018 8:55 pm

Oh boy, this is great. Kelly with a chance to wear the goat horns. Couldn't script it better.

23 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 8:58 pm

Got the lead back. Don’t mind sending Gleyber there. Sometimes you gotta take chances

24 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 8:58 pm

Hurray. Yet dubious.

25 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 8:59 pm

What a stupid fucking send on that play.

26 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 8:59 pm

That was a poor send.

27 Boatzilla   ~  May 8, 2018 9:01 pm

I guess, thanks to the power of Judge, the motion to send passed by a narrow margin.

28 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:06 pm

Nice leather, Hicks

29 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:07 pm

Woot!

30 Boatzilla   ~  May 8, 2018 9:08 pm

Exhale...

31 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 9:20 pm

[26] And that was an equally poor NOT send ...

32 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:21 pm

Now that was a poor send.

33 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 9:22 pm

What an awful 2 innings.

34 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 9:22 pm

Fucking shite! I hate that.

35 yankintexas   ~  May 8, 2018 9:22 pm

We must lead the league in outs at the plate. So dumb

36 Boatzilla   ~  May 8, 2018 9:23 pm

Man, these games are tough on a fan. My heart's getting a work out.

37 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 9:28 pm

Drury's going to get lots of at bats this year.

38 Boatzilla   ~  May 8, 2018 9:28 pm

Where we want it: down to Chapman.

39 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:32 pm

That’s a one

40 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 9:32 pm

1 down.

41 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 9:32 pm

1

42 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:34 pm

An a two

43 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 9:34 pm

The Gas Face.

44 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:35 pm

Oy.

45 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:38 pm

One more strike

46 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 8, 2018 9:40 pm

Cheers, y'all!

47 rbj   ~  May 8, 2018 9:41 pm

And three. First place tie!

Night all.

48 cult of basebaal   ~  May 8, 2018 9:42 pm

16 of 17!

First time for 65 years!

See y'all tomorrow!

49 RIYank   ~  May 9, 2018 4:35 am

Good morning, Banterers!

I could not help but notice that today seems to somehow commemorate the Babe Ruth trade:
the Yankees and Red Sox both sit a .714...

50 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 6:10 pm

And say we go agin.

51 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 6:24 pm

Good send there

52 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 6:29 pm

Jeez Paulie, seriously? ‘What does regression to the mean even mean?’ Is he actually that dumb or just playing the old school jock role?

53 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 6:35 pm

Shite.

54 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 6:35 pm

Boo

55 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 6:36 pm

Ugh, Tanaka-san

56 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 6:37 pm

He put that one on a tee. Yuck.

57 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 6:39 pm

Deez Sawx can mash...but Porcello is a chump, they’ll get to him.

58 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 6:42 pm

Somehow I think Tanaka is not long for this game.

Damn near 50 pitches already.

59 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 6:42 pm

Daylight there, Betts

60 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 6:58 pm

50 pitches. The Sawks are taking lessons from the Yanks. Meanwhile it makes sense to swing early against Porcello.

61 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 7:05 pm

I am having Phil Hughes flashbacks. 60+ in the 3rd. Ugh.

62 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 7:06 pm

Tanakasan showing more emotion than usual with the ump.

63 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 7:10 pm

Now close to 70 to start the 4th.

64 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 7:13 pm

Atta boy, Brett!

65 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 7:14 pm

Come on Judge, do your Judgey thing

66 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 7:17 pm

productive out for Didi

67 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 7:17 pm

Say it ain't so, Didi. 0 for 17. :(

68 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 7:18 pm

[52] Coney should have just said ... Didi Gregorious, right now.

69 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 7:19 pm

That was beautiful.

70 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 7:19 pm

Good job Giancarlo

71 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 7:19 pm

I'm thinking that Stanton is warming up.

72 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 7:20 pm

If Stanton is heating up,,LOOK Out! (Shout out to Kenny Singleton!)

73 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 7:20 pm

I love when Coney says things like ... Stanton just hit that about 112.6 miles an hour

74 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 7:22 pm

I'm guessing Cone has a cat named Exit Velo.

75 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 7:24 pm

I’ll take that

76 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 7:36 pm

Slick!

77 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 7:39 pm

Grrrrrrrrr.

Should have been another 2b for Gritty.

78 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 7:45 pm

Crud

79 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 7:46 pm

Ruled an out

80 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 7:46 pm

The Big Man.

81 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 7:52 pm

Alright, O. Score everybody. And then more.

82 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 7:54 pm

That was ball three, Gary

83 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 7:56 pm

I’ll take a sac fly. For now.

84 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 8:00 pm

Nerts

85 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 8:04 pm

Dammit!

86 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 8:06 pm

Fargh

87 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 8:19 pm

Ripping on 3-0 for The Kid. I like it.

88 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 8:32 pm

Nice catch, Brett

89 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 8:36 pm

grack

90 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 8:36 pm

Well, that sucks.

91 rbj   ~  May 9, 2018 8:36 pm

Fuck

92 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 8:37 pm

That doesn’t surprise me. Fuck.

93 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 8:38 pm

Ugh...Hanley and Price are really the only Sox I dislike on the team now..maybe Sale seems like a d-bag too..hope we can get to their pen.

94 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 8:59 pm

Oh joy, Chasen Shreve ...

95 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:03 pm

Right on cue ...

96 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 9:03 pm

[94] Always seems to be that one guy in the 'pen that just makes you immediately jumpy..aka 'The Fernando Rodney Experience'..

97 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 9:05 pm

Hit the showers, dude.

98 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 9:07 pm

Holder?? Seriously??? Extremely UNimpressed with Boone..you have to bring in Chapman here, no?

99 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 9:13 pm

[98] As I was saying..Holder is great!

100 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 9:16 pm

excellent hold.

Walker beats the shift

102 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 9:18 pm

Thus Walker kid is ok.

103 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:18 pm

Just hope Andujar can just get the runner over here ...

104 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 9:19 pm

productive out.

105 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:19 pm

Hey, he did.

Now?

Torres time.

106 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 9:21 pm

No contact plays.

107 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 9:22 pm

nice AB by the kid. Steal 2nd?

108 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 9:23 pm

Gleyber's eye is impressive. 21. Damn.

109 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:24 pm

Yeah, Torres looks to be the real deal.

He just takes quality at bats and unlike some, already is capable of making adjustments during them.

110 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 9:25 pm

Uh oh, Kimbreal..

111 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:26 pm

[93] I'll add Kimbrel to that list ...

112 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 9:30 pm

Gardi is back!!!!

Good to see him hitting, finally!

116 RIYank   ~  May 9, 2018 9:32 pm

Man I love baseball this year.

117 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 9:32 pm

FU Kimbrel

118 RIYank   ~  May 9, 2018 9:33 pm

What a great team this is to follow.

Hot Damn! What a time to watch this team.

120 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 9, 2018 9:34 pm

Gameday said that was a line drive to CF??!! Judge, man..

121 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:34 pm

122 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 9:35 pm

It was on a clothesline. Amazing homer.

123 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  May 9, 2018 9:37 pm

even the wife is watching. most fun since the Mick and Roger.

124 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 9, 2018 9:37 pm

Kimbrel is fucking annoying. I'm extra happy he blew it.

125 Boatzilla   ~  May 9, 2018 9:42 pm

Wow. The series has been "One for the Ages" already. It's the most exercise I've had all week.

126 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:42 pm

That might be my favorite inning of the year so far ...

127 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 9:44 pm

Grrrrr ...

128 Boatzilla   ~  May 9, 2018 9:47 pm

1 to go!

That's a Buga Bunny swing.

Best team in baseball.

138 cult of basebaal   ~  May 9, 2018 10:00 pm

Right now?

Yes.

But it's a long season and I'm not entirely convinced of our pitching depth.

I think we're covered on bats with Drury, Bird and Frazier.

139 Evil Empire   ~  May 10, 2018 2:08 pm

I am starting to like this team. Not a bad run. Don't want to jinx it.
