2018 MLB Thread

[kelmac07]

How's your team doing?

Mets start out with a one-two punch from Syndergaard & deGrom. :tu :tu

[icehog3]

Good start for the Mets. :tu

Tigers are 0-1, split Easter doubleheader Sunday after 2 rainouts.

Cubs 2-1, a 17 inning loss sammiched between 2 wins.

I hear the White Sox are 2-0, but that could be a vicious rumor.

[YankeeMan]

I'm already crushed. The Yankees lost last night and I thought they were going to go undefeated. ;-)

[tsolomon]

Nationals are 2-0 so far!

[Dave128]

Way too soon to tell, but the Mets look decent after two games.

[dvickery]

Blew jays are already mathematically eliminated from the playoffs !!!

Quintana was the cat version. :r

[Bruins Fan]

Red Sox 3-1, going to be a fun summer?

[AdamJoshua]

Wasn't real pleased with new Skipper Cora leaving Joe Kelly in and watching him implode and blow a 5 run lead in the 8th inning of the first game, he ended up with a 180.00 ERA. Not real pleased at all.

[JasonDuranceau]

Padres pitchers suck! They blew a 6-3 lead in the 9th on Friday and Perdomo got beat like a red headed step child on Saturday. At least they have the best farm system. They are where the a Astros were a few years ago...so I've heard.

[icehog3]

Tigers start off at 0-3, it's like deja vu all over again.

[croatan]

I went to the Rangers game on Saturday. It's looking to be a looong season.

[Dave128]

When was the last time you saw two baseball games postponed due to snow??!!

[kelmac07]

Mets knock off the Phillies 4-2. Today deGrom and the Mets take on the Nationals...here we go.

[BigAsh]

Mets knock off the Phillies 4-2. Today deGrom and the Mets take on the Nationals...here we go.

are you suggesting that the Nats are better competition than the Phils?!? -(P...oh yea, I see your point...:D

[Dave128]

Mets beat the Nats 8-2!!!
Cespedes, Conforto and Bruce come up big against Strasburg, et al.

[kelmac07]

Mets SWEEP (first series sweep of the Nats in 10 years) the Nats, beating them 6-5 in 12 innings.

That win improves the Amazing's to 7-1 in this early sesason.

Mets and the Red Sox have been the story so far. BoSox scored 6 in the bottom of the 8th to secure an 8-7 win and go to 8-1.

[Dave128]

The season is very young, But the Mets sure do look like a team so far.

[shilala]

7-2 for the river rats.
Cold ball means nothing, Mac.

[kelmac07]

Beat the Marlins tonight, 4-2 a,d improve to 8-1.

Scott, cold ball or not, I'll take it. Beats being down in the division 5.5 games. :D

[kelmac07]

Mets beat the Marlins tonight, 8-6 and improve to 9-1. Loving this start.

[AdamJoshua]

14 - 1

9 runs in the 6th

:)

[icehog3]

Tigers lose again. Well on their way to 100. :hn

[Subvet642]

Red Sox spanked the Yankees last night. The Sox are 9-1! :sl

[Dave128]

At least one NY team is starting off well. Let's see what happens going forward.

[kelmac07]

Mets beat the Marlins, 4-1 tonight. Improve to franchise best 10-1.

Shame for the kid that pitched for Florida tonight...he tossed a gem for 6 innings (two hitter), only to have the bullpen cough it up.

My mistake...the kid had a no-no going when they took him out. :bh :bh

[Dave128]

After last night's win, the Mets have the best record in baseball!
Enjoy it while it lasts!

[Subvet642]

My mistake...the kid had a no-no going when they took him out. :bh :bh

Way to pooch the kid's morale. :td

[kelmac07]

Mets hang on to beat the Brewers tonight, 6-5. Frazier hits two HRs & Familia picks up his 7th save to improve to 11-1.

[Dave128]

Suffered a loss last night. Can't win them all.

[Bruins Fan]

Let's go Red Sox:cl:cl:cl:cl

[kelmac07]

Got beat last night. Wilmer walked us off with a win today, 3-2.

[Dave128]

Wilmer!!!

[icehog3]

Wilmer!!!

[jonumberone]

There's the Mets I know and love. Blowing a 5 run lead in the eighth and wasting a gem by Degrom.
I knew it was only a matter of time. :D

True enough. Can't argue with you there Dom.

Hoping the bullpen didn't buy into all the hype everyone was giving them.

[BigAsh]

Whew!...I was getting worried there for a minute....So when is the Tebow call-up??:r

Mets drop another one to the Nats, 5-2.

Ohtani meet the Red Sox, Red Sox beat Ohtani. Betts leads off with a bomb and the sox never looked back.

Mets win a big one last night against the Nats, 11-5. And look like stir fried dog sh*t tonight against the Braves, losing 12-4. :bh :bh

[Subvet642]

Red Sox are 16 and 2! :wo

[kelmac07]

Guarantee before the season is over the Mets will have served up dog sh*t as many times as Wade Boggs seved up chicken...

Won't be tonight my friend...as we beat the Braves, 5-3 in 12 innings...to go 14-5, two games better than your hometown Phillies. :D

[AdamJoshua]

Geezy Petes, Red Sox have already hit 5 grand slams. The train keeps on a rollin'

[BigAsh]

Won't be tonight my friend...as we beat the Braves, 5-3 in 12 innings...to go 14-5, two games better than your hometown Phillies. :D

you do know it was the braves right!...that's like saying "we just beat St. Mary's School for the Blind"...

[icehog3]

Tigers were 3 outs away from getting to .500 in game 2 of their doubleheader. 3 lousy outs. :r

[kelmac07]

you do know it was the braves right!...that's like saying "we just beat St. Mary's School for the Blind"...

I'm taking every win we can get...even if it's against St. Mary's School for the Blind. :D

And, for the record, the Braves are seriously improved since last year.

[kelmac07]

Bullpen p*sses another deGrom gem away as the Braves walk us off, 4-3.

[kelmac07]

Mets beat the Cardinals in 10 innings, 6-5...off a Cespedes MONSTER three run HR and a Bruce blast in the tenth. Harvey pitched two innings out of the bullpen...same ole Harvey...GARBAGE!!! Win improves the Amazin's to 15-6.

[kelmac07]

Mets get skull drug by the Cardinals tonight, 9-1. Matz just doesn't seem like he's a MLB starting pitcher to me...three plus years and he still can't get it right. Drops us to 15-7, still on top of the NL East...but the Phillies are coming up fast.

[BigAsh]

Mets get skull drug by the Cardinals tonight, 9-1. Matz just doesn't seem like he's a MLB starting pitcher to me...three plus years and he still can't get it right. Drops us to 15-7, still on top of the NL East...but the Phillies are coming up fast.

1/2 game back, yup I'd say so...:r

[Dave128]

Matz is not a starter - IMO. Problem is, with Harvey now in the pen (he needs to get booted completely), there isn't any more room. Maybe if Gsellman gets reinstated to a SP there might be room for Matz to stay in the Bigs.

[kelmac07]

Agreed Dave...we need to cut ties with Harvey. He's been nothing but garbage for the past two years. It's not his pitching that irks me, it's his attitude. Everything was gravy when he was the Dark Knight, but when he started to slip...he couldn't handle that side of it. GROW THE F*&@ UP!!!

On that note, Lagares misjudges a fly ball and we lose to the Cardinals, 4-3 in ten innings. A game we had won, had only Lagares felt for the wall...instead up jumping. Didn't this guy win a Gold Glove in 2014? Callaway sent him into the game as a DEFEENSIVE replacement for this? LOL!!!

Phillies lost so we're still up a 1/2 game...at least for another day. All in all, if you told me the Mets would be 15-8 with two Syndergaard & deGrom wins and Gsellman leading with three, I would've told you that you were crazy.

Still extremely pleased with my Mets. :D

[jonumberone]

That was one hell of way for Jason Vargas to make his Met's debut. :D

[icehog3]

That was one hell of way for Jason Vargas to make his Met's debut. :D

What happened?

[kelmac07]

That was one hell of way for Jason Vargas to make his Met's debut. :D

Tell me about it Dom. Getting SHELLED by the Padres...12-2!!! Thanks alot. At least we cam back tonight and won 14-2.

FYI, I wasn't really hot on Vargas...he will give you innings...but that's about it.

[kelmac07]

Mets lose to the Braves tonight, 3-2. Syndergaard gives up all three runs in the first inning...Braves don't score again. But our offense couldn't get it done. Drops the Amazin's to 17-10.

[Dave128]

DeGrom left tonights game after 4 innings with a hyper extended elbow. ****.

[kelmac07]

DeGrom left tonights game after 4 innings with a hyper extended elbow. ****.

Not good news. All I can hear in my head is "here we go again". Hoping for the best, as he's been our most consistent starter that past two years.

[kelmac07]

And we fall out of first place.

[kelmac07]

Vargas gets ROCKED again as we get swept by the Braves, losing 11-0...second consectutive a** whooping shutout. Harvey gets shelled in another relief appearance. It all started so good.

[Dave128]

Great...the REAL Mets decided to show up.

[kelmac07]

Mets lose to the Rockies tonight, 8-7. But on a bright note, we are finally parting ways with Matt Harvey. I'd say it was two years too late, but better late than never.

[Dave128]

Glad to see Harvey go.

[kelmac07]

Mets lose AGAIN. Going south real quick.

[Dave128]

It's not even the all star break yet!

[Gabe215]

Although I am from Philly I was born in a yankees household, what a game walk off homer bottom of 9th.

[jonumberone]

It's not even the all star break yet!

This made me lol.
At least the Mets are learning from their mistakes. Putting DeGrom on the DL is the right move.
The old Mets would've waited for his arm to fall off.
Surprised how fast the sink is shipping, and it'll only get worse if Cespedes hits the DL.

Agreed that putting deGrom on the DL is the correct move. I, too, cannot belive how fast the ship is going down. Bruce signing looks even muddier now...the man cannot produce in NY. He hits one HR in a big spot and then disappears for a month and let's not even talk about his defense in right.

[kelmac07]

Mets finally win one tonight, against the Reds, 7-6. They tried to give it away though.

Worst thing is that our wins leader is a guy from the bullpen.

Reds are now 8-27. A little algebra says this projects out to a final season record of 37-125.

There's 19 chances in 27 it won't. ;)

[kelmac07]

Mets lose to the Reds tonight, 7-2. Vargas SUCKS!!

Reds took Harvey, want Vargas too?

[YankeeMan]

As a Yankee fan, I'm holding my breath. How long can they keep this up?

[jonumberone]

As a Yankee fan, I'm holding my breath. How long can they keep this up?

Pretty amazing when you consider the top of the lineup has been ice cold.
Over the current 7 game win streak

Gardner 3 for 21 - .143
Judge 6 for 28 - .214
Didi 5 for 25 - .200
Sanchez 3 for 20 - .150

Stanton hasn't been great but he hasn't been awful either. It really has been the two rooks at the bottom of the lineup carrying the team.

[elderboy02]

I don't understand why the Reds took Harvey. Harvey is a washed up bum

[Brian D.]

Mets batted out of order in the first inning today. Manager/ Bench coach problems?

[Dave128]

The Mets are starting to really suck.
My nephew's tball team might be better.

Thank God they got rid of that washed up bum Harvey.
Not sure what the Reds were thinking.

[Gabe215]

Torres and Andujar have been awesome, although walker had a massive role last night hitting under 200, cant wait for Bird to come back into the lineup and hopefully stays fit! Tanaka tonight!

[kelmac07]

I don't understand why the Reds took Harvey. Harvey is a washed up bum

Agreed Dan!! But it's not like Mesoraco is any better.

Mets batted out of order in the first inning today. Manager/ Bench coach problems?

Typical past few weeks of our season. This is little league crap.

[elderboy02]

Agreed Dan!! But it's not like Mesoraco is any better.

Mes may not be able to play defense anymore but he can still hit somewhat.

[YankeeMan]

Be still my heart, another comeback win over Boston and Gardner breaks out! All is well in the world, now we just need a sweep.

[BigAsh]

Agreed Dan!! But it's not like Mesoraco is any better.



Typical past few weeks of our season. This is little league crap.

Watched my son play from t-ball thru 16 yrs old..NEVER HAPPENED!!....thanks Mets, always good for a laugh!!...BTW, heard a rumor that Wilpon is lobbying baseball to shorten the season to 15 games...:D

[jonumberone]

Typical past few weeks of our season. This is little league crap.

Ready for the good news, Mac?
The Mets are off today.
So there's only a 60% chance of them losing! :D

[icehog3]

Tigers are 6 games under .500 but only 3 games back. What a crap division.

NL Central top 4 teams are 1 game apart total. And then there's the Reds. :r ;s

3 days later, and now the 4 NLC teams are 0.5 games apart.

And the ALC still sucks. :r

[Brian D.]

Reds have now won six in a row. Swept the Dodgers in L.A. Still way down in the NLC basement, but they at least found the staircase.

[kelmac07]

Mets lose to the Phillies tonight, 4-2. deGrom threw 45 pitches in the first without giving up a run, that has got to be a record.

[jonumberone]

I saw the box score and thought he got pulled for an injury.
Then I read the article. Definitely an odd thing, but it could be a whole lot worse.

Finally an easy win for the Yanks, yesterday. Even during the winning streak, they always seemed to be life or death.

[elderboy02]

Who dey? :D

[Dave128]

Not so sure I would put "Harvey" and "Amazing" in the same sentence.

[icehog3]

Not so sure I would put "Harvey" and "Amazing" in the same sentence.

Why not? They did it with Kreskin the Magician, and he was hardly amazing either. ;) :r

[kelmac07]

Offense finally wakes up as we beat the Blue Jays, 12-2. Mesoraco had a pretty good game. I'm liking him a lot more than Harvey. :D

[kelmac07]

Mets got skull $%*&@# by the Blue Jays Thursday, 12-1.

Came back today and beat the D-backs tonight, 3-1. deGrom pitched a gem, 13Ks.

[icehog3]

Tigers are 4 games under .500.... and 1.5 games out of first. :r

[kelmac07]

Mets come back against the D-Backs tonight to win, 5-4 on a Wilmer Flores walk off sac fly.

And it has happened Dom...we beat the D-Backs this afternoon, 4-1. Swept them by two HRs from Amed Rosario and a nice performance from Syndergaard.

[Brian D.]

A DJ at a bar right by the Reds stadium caught some flack when he played the Cub's fight song after their win yesterday. Had to make a city wide apology via radio and internet.
There were likely more Cubs than Reds fans in the bar at the time though.

Didn't they learn from watching his play with the Braves?

Signed him to a one year deal. Hoping he can provide the right handed power that's been missing. :hm

[elderboy02]

Matt Harvey pitched 6 innings of 1 run baseball last night and got the win! :)

I was at the game and was a bit worried in the 1st when he loaded the bases, but got out of the jam.

https://www.mlb.com/reds/news/matt-harvey-deals-in-home-opener-with-reds/c-277889220

[kelmac07]

Familia give up two runs in the ninth and blows another deGrom gem as we lose to the Marlins, 2-1. WOOHOO!!!!

[jonumberone]

This is going to be the second time the Angels have moved Ohtani's start back to avoid the Yanks lineup.
I guess after the Red Sox put a beating on him, they don't want him exposed again.
Or is he that fragile?
If you're any type of competitor, how do you not demand the ball against the Yanks?

[kelmac07]

Mets beat the Brewers last night, 5-0. Matz picks up his second win (seems this is the only team he can beat). He worked his way out of a few jams.

[Gabe215]

Same reason Ohtani didn’t want to play for yankees, couldn’t handle the stress of playing in NY would rather play in LA and smoke weed! Dude would FLOP in playoffs if they make it, which they won’t! Let’s Go Yankees!

[kelmac07]

Mets get SMOKED by the Brew Crew last night, 17-6. We were winning today and now they have beaten us, 8-7. The downward slide continues.

[kelmac07]

Hey Dom & Keith...you two can blow it out your #@&!!!

We split a doubleheader today with the Braves...nice to come back after getting walked off in the first game. Barely keeping our heads above .500.

[kelmac07]

Mets finally beat the Braves yesterday, after getting walked off (AGAIN) the night before. Seems like everyone is on the DL...AGAIN!!!

[Dave128]

Seems our team is made of glass.

[kelmac07]

Met drops yet another one. Watching the way we lose game is almost amusing. Over throwing cutoff men, outfielders not calling off infielders for fly balls and don't even get me started about the bullpen (minus Lugo & Gsellman). It's going to be a long summer. At least I get to see degrom & Syndergaard pitch...and then have the bullpen toss is away. First :bh :bh of the season...of which I'm certain there will be many more.

[Dave128]

Going down the shitter real fast.

[kelmac07]

Mets drop the first two games to the Yankees this weekend...giving up the lead in both games. Only to shut out the Yankees tonight 2-0 (first time they've been shut out all season). Lugo limited that offense to three hits. Maybe he needs to be in the rotation... but who is going to pitch from the pen?

[MedicCook]

Mets need to reorganize the system. They are falling back fast in the East and with the Jeter Marlins adopting the Yankees way of building a minor league system the Mets are gonna find themselves a last place team for a long time.

[MedicCook]

Ohtani needs Tommy John surgery. Most likely done until 2020. Angels were as careful as they could be with him. Kept him on his 1 start a week schedule from Japan. Didn't hit in games he pitched in or the game before and after a start. All these pitchers blowing out their elbows I would love to know how much they pitched in little league up to pro ball. I agree with Tommy John that kids are throwing too much during the growing years and that is causing the injuries later in life.

[kelmac07]

Mets need to reorganize the system. They are falling back fast in the East and with the Jeter Marlins adopting the Yankees way of building a minor league system the Mets are gonna find themselves a last place team for a long time.

Agreed Ryan. But we cannot afford to trade degrom & Syndergaard to get it going. We DFA'ed Adrian Gonzalez and Lobaton...again. Lobaton provided absolutely nothing and Agon was only holding the fort down until Dominic Smith got healthy. But not sure Smith is the fit either.

[MedicCook]

If the Mets think they can win in the next 2 years they should keep the pitching. If longer than that I would trade them. A great pitcher on a losing team is an unhappy pitcher. Get something for them now before losing them to free agency. How must deGrom feel that he could win the ERA crown with a losing record.

[kelmac07]

But if you trade deGrom or Syndergaard...us Mets fans won't have anything to look forward to each week.

[MedicCook]

You will still have Todd Frazier and the Thumbs Down guy.

[kelmac07]

You will still have Todd Frazier and the Thumbs Down guy.

Not even close.

Yankees beat the Nats 3-0 tonight on 2 HRs by Sir Didi.

[kelmac07]

Mets continue to lose. Gonna be a long summer.

[kelmac07]

It's official...my Mets suck. deGrom pitched 7 innings today, gave up one run and our pathetic offense managed only TWO hits against the Braves in a 2-0 loss. Bruce looks look a minor league player, at best. He is awful in the outfield and can't hit for sh*t.

[MedicCook]

Yankees lost to the Nats tonight. Split the 2 game series. Still not sold on Sonny Gray. He looks great one batter and like crap the next.

Did you see the video of the umpire miked up when he tossed Syndergaard and Collins?

Just in case. or for anyone who didn't..... NSFW

I love it. "My a$$ is in the jackpot". I have never heard that before :r

[kelmac07]

Mets futility finds new heights. We lose to the Dodgers yesterday, 8-7. No big deal, had the lead, gave up the lead (is the story of our horrible bullpen). But, we gave up SEVEN solo HRs in the loss. :bh :bh

Sorry to say, it's a matter of days before we are cellar dwellers in the NL East. Even the Marlins are playing better than us. Just keeping my fingers crossed that deGrom & Syndergaard stay put. A week ago, I would have said they aren't going anywhere. Today? Uncertain, at best.

[icehog3]

But, we gave up SEVEN solo HRs in the loss. :bh :bh

Mets continue to lose and the bullpen continues to suck. One more loss and we're in the cellar. WOOHOO!!!

[Dave128]

****ing Mets.

[icehog3]

Cubs and Tigers are both in tailspins.

When does hockey start?

[kelmac07]

Guess what? Bullpen gives another one away this evening. Can we please trade Familia already?

[Dave128]

That surgery really did him in. He was on fire before that.

[kelmac07]

Mets lose a second game to the Marlins. They threw a kid with 12 minor league starts against us and we still got beat. It's official, we suck this year.

[Dave128]

Mets won today. Yippee.

[icehog3]

Exhibition game against Ryan's daughter, Dave? ;) ;s

I think the 12U ladies would beat the Mets.

[kelmac07]

Mets pieced one together behind Matz's nice game. Problem is, we win one, then lose 7.

deGrom stated yesterday that he "was sick of losing". Sad to say, I don't believe deGrom & Syndergaard are going to around much longer. Just really hope that we get a ton for them. Not typical in previous years, we seem to give talent away for nothing. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[jonumberone]

Yanks take 2 out of 3 from the BoSox. Happy with the results, but the 3 grames were underwhelming. I would much rather see tightly contested games than 3 blowouts.

[Dave128]

Yes and yes.

[kelmac07]

Mets won, but still suck. :D

[kelmac07]

Game #1 of "our World Series" was won today by the Mets, 7-5. Syndergaard pitched five strong innings and we jumped all over German. Lugo tried to give it away, but we hung on. Game #2 tomorrow.

[kelmac07]

Lost Game #2 of "our World Series" today, in a thriller, 7-6.

[kelmac07]

This time it was the defense, not the bullpen, that costs deGrom another win.

[Dave128]

I feel he's going to leave for a winning team. He's sick of losing. I can't blame him.

[kelmac07]

Mets win again today. granted it was against the Padres, but we'll take a win over anyone right about now.

[kelmac07]

Mets climb out of the NL East cellar with their third straight win. WooHoo!!

[Dave128]

Yeah baby!

[Brian D.]

Reds are starting the post-All Star break half of the year as badly as the beginning of the season. Phillies lit them up for seven ("Yeah, seven, that's the number") home runs last night, with three players each hitting a pair.

[MedicCook]

Yankees lost Judge to chip fracture in his wrist after HBP last night. Out at least 3 weeks.

[kelmac07]

And we're back in the cellar. deGrom p*ssed this one away all by himself. Bullpen just added fuel to the fire.

[BigAsh]

Jose Reyes for Cy Young??....BEST.GAME.EVER!...

[kelmac07]

Jose Reyes for Cy Young??....BEST.GAME.EVER!...

Gotta love that 54.00 ERA. :tu :tu

[kelmac07]

Mets continue to lose. :td :td

[kelmac07]

For the second straight night, the PITCHEr provides the only RBI in the game for the Mets. Another loss for deGrom when he pitched a gem. That's like 14 consecutive quality starts and the offense doesn't hit when he pitches. Not enjoying this cellar dwelling. :td :td

Reds face the Mets in NYC for a few games. Could be spectacular..like the time I saw a train derailment.

Transforming CitiField into Williamsport for little league play....

[Bruins Fan]

Before the series started Cashman said the Yankees were the only team that can handle the Sox?
Mookie was asked if he heard that?His reply was oh yeah we all heard it:D

They also said they don't care that this team is too good to have to bother with "black board bs". lol

Can't even make a comeback on that one Keith. :bh

[Dave128]

Let's Go Mets!

[kelmac07]

Mets beat the Reds, 6-4. It's win and we'll take it.

[Gabe215]

Impressive outing for yanks after Boston embarrassment

[kelmac07]

Mets get beat by the Reds, 6-1. Thanks a lot Vargas...YOU SUCK!!!!!!

[Brian D.]

Reds looked even suckier than that against the Mets today. Stephenson, just called up from AAA ball, gave up a four pitch walk to the Mets' starter today, while bases were loaded. Reds radio announcer Jeff Brantley said "Folks, I don't think I've ever seen that before."

That was really bad.

[kelmac07]

Mets finally give deGrom some run support today as we beat the Reds, 8-0. deGrom pitched a 10K gem and lowered his league leading ERA to 1.77.

[AdamJoshua]

Which of the 4 did you mean or you just lumping that 4 games series together. :D

Sox win number 81 and are cruising.

[Dave128]

Mets beat the Yanks 8-5. Another 12k gem by deGrom.

[kelmac07]

Been a few days...but we've actually been winning. Skull drug the Orioles tonight 16-5. But then again, we lost to them last night. It's been a serious up and down (mostly down) year.

[E.J.]

Though I just don’t get into regular season baseball, I’m excited for the playoffs. Was able catch an Astros vs Red Sox game in Minute Maid this year & just picked up Game 2 ALDS tickets for the girls.

[kelmac07]

Hell of a game between the Rockies & the Cubs this evening.

Yankees take Game 2 in Fenway, which is all they needed to do. Now to The Bronx on Monday.

The girls were there tonight, I stayed back at the hotel and watched the Utah Football game. http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i397/EJB21/8EC233AC-DC63-4E20-8A2E-06FE307A0B20_zpsx76i3uof.jpeg (http://s1091.photobucket.com/user/EJB21/media/8EC233AC-DC63-4E20-8A2E-06FE307A0B20_zpsx76i3uof.jpeg.html)

David Price the Tukkaaahhhaa Rask of the RedSox.

[BigAsh]

that performance last night cemented Price's reputation...or lack thereof

[The Poet]

One of the Sox starters is not for sale, and the other not worth the price.

Wow Yanks got destroyed tonight, gotta win the next two!

Debbie Downer...savor the win, worry about the bullpen on Saturday :sl

Posted via Mobile Device

Clearly worries Cora too, to put Sale in for the 8th... granted it gets him a little work in but I'm guessing he was in because we ran out of relievers we could trust or pushed the trust button a little too much, Kimb is just heart attacks waiting to happen, thank God for Pearce LITERALLY laying it out last night for that out or we'd be playing again.

The bridges around NY must be packed this morning, standing room only for jumpers.

[Gabe215]

Let’s go Astros and take the series in Houston, if not the Yankees anybody but Red Sux!!

C'mon Dodgers!

Damn good game...was pulling for the Brew Crew.

Now that a couple different teams seem to be filing grievances against the astros in this post season, I can see what the MFY fans like em... bunch of cheaters :D :sl

[Gabe215]

Big Ash- raised in a Yankees household just outside Philly in Delco, Cheered for Phils in 08 and Yanks in 09!

[Bruins Fan]

Sox are on to the World Series:noon

[kelmac07]

Looking like the Red Sox are making easy work of them Dodgers. Maybe it was the cold?

[Bruins Fan]

Fire up the Duck Boats, were going to have a parade!!!:noon

[kelmac07]

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox and their fans.

[dman4505]

Congrats Red Sox Nation

[elderboy02]

Congrats Red Sox folks. I don't think I will see a Cincinnati Reds World Series win the rest of my life :(

[AdamJoshua]

Great series, well as a RS fan I think it was, should have been a sweep but taking it in 5 works too.

Great side stories, the 35 year old journeyman that had been with 11 teams finally get's to play for his boyhood team the RS and ends up the World Series MVP for them.

The starting pitchers that were all in and warming up almost every game or pitching out of the bullpen.

Nathan E who throws 90+ pitches in freaking relief and get's a standing Ovation from his teammates after giving up the HR that lost them the game.

You have to wonder if this isn't the new blueprint for the World Series moving forward, every picture available in every situation?

It must be, the Cubs did it in 2016.

[kelmac07]

Mets finalize Diaz/Cano trade. I'm glad to see Bruce gone, but think we might have given up too much with Dunn & Kelenic...but still very happy with this trade. Now we need a catcher, centerfielder, and some relief pitching.

[AdamJoshua]

It must be, the Cubs did it in 2016.

Pretty sure a few teams have done it, Pedro pitching the last 6 innings of a game in 04, etc, just don't think I've noticed it, the trick is can they keep some of those pitcher that are willing and can do that.
