[Alicat]

Go Twins!

God I hate the Yankees

 

[DKH]

I forgot how much I hate the Yankees

 

[DKH]

The way this is going Severino is going to last longer than Santana

 

[Johnnyduke]

21 homeruns for Gardiner and 25 for didi...are you kidding me

 

[DKH]

Unf***ing real

I hate sports

 

[KrejciMVP]

wow now 3-3
Would have started berrios

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Great job by Jess breaking down the flip of the bat

 

[LucicIsABeast]

I don't think I've seen more adults who brought baseball gloves than at Yankee Stadium right now

 

[Fenway]

This game might end by 1 AM maybe

 

[DKH]

This is like 1977 and Bruins jump out to a quick 2-0 lead on Habs behind goals from Middleton and McNabb.

You just know it's coming just not sure when

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

Stupid Twins

 

[KrejciMVP]

seriously pull this pitcher

The Twins were never going to win this game. The early 3-0 fooled me for a second, though. I have to admit.

Indians starting Bauer in Game 1, and pitching Kluber in games 2 and 5.

 

[GloryDaze4877]

I don’t follow the Tribe closely, and baseball is my third sport (snicker), but as far as starters go, wasn’t it Kluber, Carrasco, then Bauer (talent-wise)??

I’m sure Francona knows what he’s doing but seems like a big risk to not go with your clear cut ace for Game 1 in a five game series, just to keep him on schedule? It’s great that he can go in Games 2/5 this way, but what if you don’t get to game 5?

Told my boys if the Yankees win this game they are going to the World Series.

Something about this team. I hate it.

I don't see it. Suspect defense and inexperience will lead to a quick exit from the post-season.

One can only hope.

I'm a Jays fan who follows the Red Sox.

Hard to hate this Yankees team IMO.

I think they're a likeable group compared to past Yankee "super" teams.

My heart hopes you're right, but my head remembers they are ahead of schedule on the rebuild and figures every extra game is icing.

I don't have any trouble hating them likeable or not. They're the Yankees.

Bingo.

The only two Tankees I have liked in recent memory are Jeter and Mariano. They are gone and I cannot stand Girardi.

Agreed. I hated them before Steinbrenner.

I'll bid a good luck to Red Sox fans, though this is the one and only circumstance in which I root for the opponent. I typically root for the Pats against the Texans, but do pull for the Astros and Rockets.

I know the World Series was great for Boston in 2013 after the terror attack; in a similar vein, post hurricane, a deep playoff run for the Astros would be great for the city.

But I will say this - my enthusiasm is tempered. The Astros' bullpen is suspect, and that's putting it nicely. The one-two punch of Verlander/Keuchel is excellent; but keep the games close until the bullpen takes over, and the Sox can take this. Look for A.J. Hinch to milk every pitch possible out of those two.

 

[smithformeragent]

I wonder if they can possibly fit more BS on the postseason caps.

Pretty soon, they won't have room for the team logo.
