"A New York Treasure" --Village Voice

Bombers Away!

How did we end up here?

Well, if you ask Boone and the Bombers, it all went according to plan. I was wrong, I admit that right away; Yankees did get the home field for the wild card. After that, they punched their ticket emphatically and now are invading Boston to continue their quest for the expected: a trip to the Whirled Serious and a chance to make good on the promise they showed last year, not to mention to justify all the moves and deals they made to get there.

And maaaaaybe just a little revenge for 2004? Not that anyone on this roster would recall that series (nor should they try), but some of us would just love to get those games back, and this is the first time since then that the two teams have had a chance to hash it out again in the playoffs. And look who’s leading those teams to this fancy reunion: rookie manager Alex Cora and equally-rookie manager Aaron F***in’ Boone.  Of course, neither were part of that series, but both had contributed to their teams in important ways when they were playing for the teams they now manage.  And both won at least 100 games in their first year at the helm.  Trivial, but fun facts heading into this showdown, which promises to be Very Interesting Indeed.

Lots to take into this series in terms of expectations; Boston sprinted past the Yanks early on in the season and held tight or stayed close through the mid-season, then turning on the afterburners after the ASB and leaving the rest (especially the Yanks) to fight it out for second place. If nothing else, having two 100-game winners in the same division has begun and interesting discussion about what teams should actually qualify for the playoffs; had the Yanks won their hundred games, yet failed to reach the post season while a team with maybe fifteen less wins was automatically in because they won their division, there certainly would have been a lot of outrage among fans if it were not the Yankees (but definitely outrage if it were from MLB and their television partners).  But that’s for a later debate. For now, let’s revel in the chance for fireworks and Score Trucks and who knows what.  Both teams are coming in with chips on their shoulders, so it oughtta be “lit” as the young players would likely say.

As for me, I’m feeling the Yanks in five; now that Brother Judge is up to speed and has brought life back to the lineup and clubhouse in general, it’s up to the starters to get the job done. Scientific Happ leads off, followed by Major Tanaka and The One (Whom Most Doubted) , then C-Squared ready to shut the door on Boston’s aspirations if that were actually the case. This makes sense; I think that’s the right order. I could be wrong about what we’re about to encounter (and kinda hope I am, but in a good way). Fasten your seat belts, ladies and gents, the show’s about to begin! >;)

Nice intro Chyll. Don't forget Bucky F**king Dent. Been into the Yanks/Sawks since.... Ever. For good luck, wearing 2009 Championship T shirt.

2 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 5:39 pm

BTW, Happ seems to be scheduled to start.

3 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 5:40 pm

BTW, Yankee fans, is there a libation of choice for tonight?

4 Chyll Will   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:03 pm

[2] Oop, will change, thanks!

5 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:11 pm

(3) Espresso and muffins here! I’m calling a 10-2 game, Stanton hits one 475ft and Chris Baby Sale gets knocked out in the 3rd.

6 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:18 pm

[3] vodka tonic here.

7 Chyll Will   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:20 pm

[0] [4] Makes even more sense now that I got the right rotation order >;)

8 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:21 pm

Evening All!

Only been on pins and needles all day waiting for this one!

9 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:25 pm

And Angel Hernandez is upping this series. Find a nerf ball to throw at the tv.

10 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:44 pm

Let him K the side, 24 pitches helps us

11 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:52 pm

Me no like

12 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:52 pm

Fuck

13 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:53 pm

C'mon Happ!

14 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:54 pm

Shit

15 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:54 pm

Morherfucker

16 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:54 pm

Jazz Jr called that one..damn it

17 BobbyB   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:55 pm

Not exactly a great start. Settle down. Only inning one.

18 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 6:58 pm

Trust the O, at Fenway especially 3-0 is nothing

19 iyasu   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:01 pm

Nice hit!

20 Bronx Boy in NC   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:01 pm

Wasn’t even a bad pitch to Martinez.

21 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:05 pm

Double fuck

22 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:05 pm

blargh

23 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:08 pm

Alright Happ, keep it right here

24 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:10 pm

'Evening, Guys. 'Morning, Jazz. Two coffees in and thinking about some muesli.

Not a great start, but Sale does not look overpower. They are making him pitch and they are getting some good wood.

More worried about our pitching.

25 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:13 pm

Well, that was a lot better. Nevermind...

26 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:15 pm

(24) Perfect grey morning for couch time and the game. Happ can settle down, I’m confident they can get to Sale...

27 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:20 pm

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

28 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:26 pm

Betts is just so good..dammit

29 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:26 pm

Le sigh

30 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:29 pm

Well, this is grim.

Voit is ... not much of a 1stbaseman

31 Hank Waddles   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:31 pm

I know this is but a five game series, but that hook seems a bit quick to me.

32 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:32 pm

(31) I’m good with it, Green could get out of this with Ks. Happ didn’t have it.

33 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:32 pm

How about a K and then DP here Chad?

34 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:33 pm

Le sigh.

The sight of that bird casually hopping in the outfield as that scorcher bounded by it ...might be the only redeeming moment of the night.

35 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:35 pm

Finally an out

36 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:35 pm

This fucking sucks balls

37 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:36 pm

Blergh

38 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:39 pm

45 minitew from sister's house. Been listening through grainy static ass am radio. 5-0? Fuuuuucking motherfucking Bollocks! Was looking forwatd to varriving to a decent game. Grrr......

39 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:40 pm

This might be a short evening.

Long .. if you're a masochist.

40 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:41 pm

They are still in it. 5 runs is nothing at Fenway. Go Bombers!

41 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:43 pm

These announcers are feckin awful

42 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:45 pm

Did everyone see that Mike closed commenting on articles over at RAB (this was probably a month or so ago)?

What a damn cesspool that place became after the "Great Migration" when LoHud shut their coverage down.

Damn shamn, Mike and crew do so much good work.

Makes me appreciate our little community (though I wish some of the old crew were still coming around).

43 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:48 pm

Such a great AB by Hicks there

44 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:48 pm

Alright ... let's get a party started!

45 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:49 pm

Uh oh, never a good thing when the trainer comes out

46 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:50 pm

That's just fucking great

47 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:50 pm

Feck..

48 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:50 pm

So ... it's gonna be that kind of night, is it?

49 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:51 pm

[42] yeah. There was a doxxing threat which was the final straw. I wouldn’t mind if any of them showed up here, as long as they adhere to our guidelines, with a short leash.

50 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:54 pm

Fugging Sale

51 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:54 pm

[50] I think we're flying under the radar at this point, really, since Alex is so concentrated on his other projects.

We're an Ox-bow lake at this point, I'm afraid.

52 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:55 pm

[50] Didn't know about the doxxing threat. Like I said ... a cesspool.

Dammit ... just foul.

Yeah, it's gonna be that kind of night.

53 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 7:58 pm

Turning to the Blanton bourbon

54 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:02 pm

[53] Brings back memories. One of my old favorites, back when I could drink, although Elijah Craig 17-year was my fav.

55 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:03 pm

Not loving leaving Green in there. He wasn’t particularly effective last inning and he hasn’t been going in second innings this year.

56 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:04 pm

Replay of foul balls to the scorer box? Really?

57 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:05 pm

Phew, phoul

58 iyasu   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:07 pm

This type of game would be good tonight. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS200709140.shtml

59 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:08 pm

Great, more aural sexxx for the Sox by the announcers..

60 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:09 pm

Ok glad that worked out. Let’s knock Sale out now please...

61 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:09 pm

Sun’s coming out here, if we don’t score soon may switch to radio and head out for the day. C’mon Sanchize!!

62 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:09 pm

No a bad half inning, all things considered. Go get um.

63 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:11 pm

RAB rules, but I couldn’t go near the comments. Someone threatened them personally and Mike shut it down. I hope that adds years to them keeping the site running and doesn’t hasten the end of it. That’s my main - and only, really - place for Yankees news...

64 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:11 pm

So much for Sale being hurt and sucking...

65 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:12 pm

Need a couple now.

66 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:13 pm

This fucking sucks.

67 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:13 pm

Need a half dozen...

68 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:14 pm

Cutch not making a case to stay in ny

69 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:15 pm

That was a poor inning. Bad at bats

70 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:15 pm

[63] Yes. I read it religiously. Always hated the comments.

71 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:16 pm

That was just a sad display of ‘O’. I’ll keep the game on but get to some laundry..

72 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:17 pm

Lynn. I guess Cole isn’t on the roster...

73 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:18 pm

[64] Yeah, I like to see what the site traffic has looked like after the fact.

74 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:18 pm

Well, Lance coming in is a bit of a white flag. OTOH, glad that Sonny is not on the roster.

75 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:19 pm

[73] Well, I guess this when you'd use him. Save the rest of the bully for tomorrow night.

76 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:20 pm

I hope Hicks isn’t too hurt...

77 knuckles   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:21 pm

Andujar looks like he might be slowly coming down with a case of Sax-itis...

78 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:21 pm

Axisa said he wishes he shut down the comment section earlier, so maybe that’s a good sign and adds to the lifeline there.

79 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:26 pm

[77] Yeah, I was thinking that. Afraid to say it.

80 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:27 pm

[71] Modern dad. Wife already did ours. ;>) It's really getting hot out there Jazz. Better to get it out there soon.

81 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:29 pm

[80] Done and Done. 5mins in the sunshine more enriching than watching this garbage game...

82 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:31 pm

[78] He is ... not a good defender at 3rd and I'm not very confident it's going to change.

83 iyasu   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:32 pm

Okay, now!

84 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:32 pm

Hmm, something cooking.

85 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:32 pm

Please make it 5-3 here.

Good, the string bean is gone. So much for him being hurt...

86 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:32 pm

Stanty!! This is the inning..let’s go

87 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:33 pm

Gd Sale was too good. Maybe the bullpen won't be quite as good.

88 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:33 pm

Ah, always classy Red Sox fans with the "Yankees Suck" chant.

Although ... they've got a long way to go to match that complete douchbag Yankees fan during the A's game.

Luke Voit is my spirit meatball.

92 knuckles   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:36 pm

And Didi has been crushing foul balls tonight. Straighten one out here.

93 iyasu   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:36 pm

Keep it going, Didi!

94 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:36 pm

LUUUUUUUUUUUKE!

95 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:38 pm

A run. I missed it, had to release the hound

96 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:39 pm

Ahhhhh. A t.v.. Just in time for some action.

97 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:40 pm

Yeah, I was in the laundry room. Luke is a lot o’ fun and so easy to like!

98 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:41 pm

That's closer

99 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 8:41 pm

I'm gonna say it ... I think Greg Bird has been Wally Pipp'd.

Well, that's something Didi

Three inning to get three (four) runs in shithole Fenway? Eminently doable.

C'mon, let's get some runs!!!

168 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:21 pm

Bases full for GS

169 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:22 pm

Score some runs! Little bingo!

170 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:22 pm

Stanton needs to go BOOM!!!

171 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:22 pm

Like Darling.... scooping waster out of a sinking boat

172 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:23 pm

Aw crap, bases loaded, no outs, Yankees don’t score. I’ve seen this too often

173 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:23 pm

C'mon Stanton.

Please come through here.

No DP, no K

174 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:23 pm

Dammit. Don’t strikeout or do too much

175 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:24 pm

Any fucking high school catcher would have done it, too. Settle down.

176 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:24 pm

FUCK!

177 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:25 pm

K, now double play

178 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:25 pm

Awful from Stanton...

179 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:25 pm

Fuck!

180 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:25 pm

Go yard, Voit

181 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:25 pm

Dont bite on that slider. Mash a heater.

182 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:26 pm

Pathetic

183 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:26 pm

I unbuttoned the top of my jersey for ya, Luke!

184 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:26 pm

[183] From Stanton

185 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:27 pm

Helps

186 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:28 pm

I’ll take that

187 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:28 pm

Must plate another

188 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:28 pm

Let's go DD

189 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:30 pm

Cmon Didi!

190 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:30 pm

Rats!

191 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:30 pm

Fuck. Not nearly enough after having the bases loaded and nobody out

192 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:31 pm

Still a game

193 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:31 pm

Stanton’s AB really sucked

194 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:34 pm

That was just not good enough.

195 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:34 pm

[194] indeed

196 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:36 pm

Either Mario Impeba or Rod Allen is looking for a new gig next year. They got into a fight after a broadcast this August and both have been suspended. Neither all that great, but still better than TBS

197 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:40 pm

Cone should stream himself at home doing the game.

198 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:42 pm

[197] Good idea!

199 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:43 pm

I’d pay for that stream!

200 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:46 pm

That was probably ball 4...

And throw in Paul O’Neill. Goofing off each other. It’s not Scooter and Bill White, but nothing is.

202 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:47 pm

What are you looking at?

203 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:48 pm

Fuck you Blue!

204 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:48 pm

Goos sign. Dammit!

205 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:48 pm

Bullshit

206 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:49 pm

That was not even close to a strike, total BS

207 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:49 pm

Remember when Gleyber was good?

208 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:50 pm

Good.

209 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:50 pm

Tie the game, Cutch.

210 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:50 pm

Tying run at the plate

211 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:52 pm

Fucking Freak Kimbrel.

212 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:53 pm

I loathe his stoopid setup. Always have. Even when he was a brave...

213 rbj   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:54 pm

We Hateses Kimbtel

214 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:55 pm

Crap.

215 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:56 pm

[212] do you mean the douchecrow?

216 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:56 pm

Dang it.

217 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 9:59 pm

Tough to win a game like this when you leave so many on base.

218 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:01 pm

Thanks nunez

219 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:02 pm

Yeah, we’ve outhit these scumsuckers, but we suck with the bases loaded

220 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:03 pm

Did Fave think there were 3 outs?

221 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:04 pm

Well here we go

222 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:04 pm

Sale vs Happ looks to be the difference. :(
They’ll crush Price tomorrow though

223 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:08 pm

JUDGE!!!

224 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:08 pm

ALL RISE!

225 GaryfromChevyChase   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:08 pm

Judge delivers

226 Ara Just Fair   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:09 pm

The. Man.

227 seamus   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:09 pm

All feckin rise!

228 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:09 pm

All Rise!!!!!

229 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:09 pm

Still need more though...

230 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:09 pm

Fuck yeah!

231 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:09 pm

God, that base loaded crapfest is really going to rankle if we can't get another one here.

232 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:11 pm

Atonement time, Stanton

233 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:11 pm

Crush the pitch, dude

234 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:12 pm

How can you not swing at that???

235 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:12 pm

[223] AJ Crap didn't help, but I'm gonna put a lot on #RISPFAIL

236 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:12 pm

Stanton has had an awful awful game

237 knuckles   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:12 pm

April/May Stanton seems to be back.

238 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:12 pm

Fucking brutal

239 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:12 pm

Didn't even get the bat off his shoulder ...

240 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:15 pm

And that’s that

241 thelarmis   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:15 pm

We should’ve won that game...

242 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:16 pm

Well, they gave it their best. Nothing to be ashamed of.

243 cult of basebaal   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:16 pm

that game was annoying from start to finish ... we should have won it.

244 Boatzilla   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:17 pm

We need some zeros from Tanaka tomorrow. I feel good about our chances.

245 knuckles   ~  Oct 5, 2018 10:17 pm

Totally winnable game. Either they can make it a moral victory and stomp Price tomorrow or this could be a huge missed opportunity in retrospect.
