No YouTube TV. About the only reason I didn't want to switch. No MLB or NHL networks.

Probably will still lose the series.

But nice to absolutely butt fuck the Yanks for once at that house of horrors.

Shades of that Cleveland game about 10-15 years ago. Yanks lost 22-0 or something.

Thought that first inning was never going to end.

Damn, almost 20 years ago. Fuck I'm getting old

Kinda funny to see that Javy Vazquez was an All-Star that year (his only All-Star season)... Yankees fans don't exactly have fond memories of him.

So talented, but him giving up the 2 HR to Johnny Damon in game 7 is what I'll always remember about him.

My first game at the New Yankee Stadium was 4/18/09 against the Indians. The Rangers had a playoff game earlier in the day so a buddy and I watched that game in a bar in upper Manhattan where the train (4) was right there. After the Ranger game, we hopped on the train and got to the Stadium just as the Yankees scored 2 runs in the bottom of the 1st to take a 2-0 lead. In the top of the 2nd they gave up 14 runs. We decided to take a good look at the new stadium since the game was basically over. We checked out every nook and cranny of the place. When we left in the 5th inning it was 20-0. The final score was 22-4.

I remember that and that he was on the mound for Montreal when Cone pitched his perfect game.

pretty underrated pitcher. Nothing but durable, pitching 150+ innings every year and never made fewer than 26 starts. Ten consecutive seasons with 198+ innings. 105 ERA+ is solid for 2840 innings, and he pitched in front of some pretty bad defensive teams. Finished with 43.4 career bWAR, good for 151st all-time. Four 5+ WAR seasons and eleven 2+ WAR seasons. Very reliable pitcher.

The first Yankee game I went to Detroit, the Yankees lost 16-0. That was a long night

 

[nynasty]

I've seen the Yankees make up deficits of up to 9 runs (Once against Boston and Roger Clemens in the mid 80s), but once it got to 11-zip, it was time to call it a day.

If I'm not mistaken an 11-0 lead has only been blown once in history. Cleveland came back on Seattle in the early 2000s.

Shit it was 12 runs!

I remember that game against Clemens! I was a kid then, but learned on that day that no lead is ever safe against the Yankees.

Boston was up 9-0 after 2, down 10-9 after 3. Good times!

Damn! That Sox lineup was loaded in those days. I’m guessing Greenwell was hurt because he should have been in there, too. That was a really good team.
