[soxfan1468927]

Not a good start for the Red Sox pitching and Yankees offense. Now having to face Keuchel and Kluber to avoid going down 0-2.

Keuchel vs Pomeranz at 2:00
Sabathia vs Kluber at 5:00
Hendricks vs Strasburg at 7:30
Walker vs Kershaw at 10:30

Red Sox are toast! Farrell should be fired... His explanation for leaving Sale is was atrocious! "In that situation we still wanted a lefty match-up" Um... He was getting shelled, shut up Farrell, go home, you're drunk!

Word around town among "educated sources" is that he will be fired barring a deep playoff run.

EVEN IF something miraculous happens and they somehow make a deep run he still should be fired

4th time in Astros history they had a 4 HR postseason game.

2015 ALDS Game 4
2004 NLCS Game 1
2004 NLDS Game 1

Those are simply the 2 best teams in the AL and the margin is wide

I won't watch a second of it, but Tribe/Stros will be a classic series

That would certainly be a great match-up

Gary Sanchez is a serious problem

I think Gray really started to get afraid to throw his breaking stuff in the Dirt
