Just shows you how much i hate tampa

Put it this way, without the sox/yanks rivalry then this is a very easy decision

Whitesox just need to find a way in the world series

I think the ChiSox are gonna get smoked. Hope I'm wrong.


Tough call, but I do think I'd have to root for Tampa over Houston. As far as I know, all the Yankees ass-kickings by Tampa have been cheating-free.

And then anyone other than the Rays….

Agreed. Houston looks absolutely loaded. Not sure anyone in the AL is stopping them.

I figured you guys would be rooting for Ottavino and Whitlock.

u really want to use sale after sunday? JD is hurt the dumbass

I just thought he'd be on roster is all...

He had better pitch well in this Rays series or c-ya

 

[redseat]

I haven’t seen much of Gallo, and I know he plays good D, but adding the league leader in K’s to a lineup that already includes the likes of Stanton, Judge and Sanchez is a head-scratcher for me. He’ll probably hit 40HR’s next year while batting .190 and striking out 200 times. Not sure how you value that.

and hitting him clean up against the Red Sox is a real head scratcher

Seems like yesterday…..please fire Boone

It's quiet. Too fucking quiet. Don't they usually have a season ending presser by now?

 

[nynasty]

If Boone is not gone, and they bring Correa in, well, I'm gonna have a really hard time with that.

I don’t see how they could pay Correa and still keep Judge?? I suppose they could pull it off for 2022, but not beyond that.

Yup, eerily quiet which leads me to think…..NOOOOOOO!!!!!

They could pull it off quite easily, considering they are printing money over there. They made a $700M profit in 2019. (the last full season before this one.)

I dealt with Reggie Jackson. I dealt with Mel Hall. I dealt with Alex Rodriguez. I dealt with Roger Clemens. I think Carlos Correa is going to be a bridge too far for me.

They certainly COULD do that. But doing so would require them to go well over the luxury tax threshold. Steinbrenner Jr. has not shown a willingness to do that. So, until he does, I think it’s a significant obstacle.

Also, why not Seager over Correa if they have to pick one? Give me Seager every time.
