Series Thread: ALDS: Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees

[DirtDirtDirt]

Yanks steal Game One, im gonna feel real confident, cause I think this is the best Yankee team in 2018

Lose that, not feeling so good

Lol
Health wise

Team really hasn't been all together much this season, if at All

Was thinking last night how players can make a manager look so good or so bad

If Betances gets bombed in the 5th yesterday, Boone gets bashed today, instead he's god for a day

Or he pulls Andujar, one of the teams best hitters in a 2-0 game, Hecheverria makes a sick play, Genius

Such a fine line between genius or dipshit

His decision to go with Severino yesterday looks genius now, in that he can set his rotation now anyway he likes.

Not for nothing, Gary Sanchez looked like a capable MLB catcher last night.

Gotcha.

I was like, "shit. there were other yankees teams this year?"

 

[navamind]

I'm rooting for Staph Infections.

Lots of them.

I think you guys need some blankets

Going to game 3 on Monday. Hopefully the Sox will be up 2-0.

 

[redseat]

Gonna be fun

No idea what to expect

Yanks lineup is pretty insane right now

Their defense is truly concerning, Andujars error almost led to a huge inning

See if the Sox can flick the switch after coasting through September

I say that was more on Voight. Dude can't pick the ball, but I guess he's better than Bird... Dude dropped an easy pop up game I went too.

I am not confident in the red Sox staff at all. Price will once again wilt under the pressure as out of 86 guys to pitch in 9 play off game or more (or some stat like that), Price is the only one who hasn't won.

5.03

You know what that number represents @chappee11 ?

The average number of guys who @DirtDirtDirt thinks are women he tried to pick up at Stans?

Just realized this is the first time facing each other in the playoffs since '04.
Dis gun be good.

Yep. They had a bunch of clips of the '03 and '04 series playing on SportsCenter this morning. That's back when I was a big Red Sox fan, so it was fun to watch. Nostalgic.

It's the rubber match!

I know I could do without the inevitable "We all remember what happened the last time these two teams met in the post-season" lead-ups to Friday, but it is what it is.

it's karma for your 1978 posts

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

The only series I might actually care about. Even over the WS.

LOL. See, I'm thinking that eliminating the winningest Red Sox team in history will be karmic retribution for what happened the last time around.

Potato, Potahto

Don't know if I should root for Hitler or Darth Vader


Hmmmmmmm

I find your lack of faith disturbing

 

[Cyder]

Yeah, it's not just against the Yankees with Price, it's pretty much any big game - the fact that it's a BIG GAME vs the Yankees, in a Red Sox uni should have him in his locker, rocking back and forth in the fetal position, sucking his thumb the day of his start.

Then they've got Sale, who's a brittle bitch and is gassed.

You never know, though. Maybe they'll sweep the Yanks.

Sox top three pitchers are 0-11 with almost a 7 era in the playoffs. Sale only pitched one of those games but how healthy is he? If he's healthy you have to give the Sox the edge

Pumped for this series. Shame the two best teams in baseball meet in the divisional round.
