Post-Game Talk: AL Wild Card - SAWX WIN - YANKEES ELIMINATED!!!!!!!!

[McGarnagle]

Looking forward to the Rays, that lineup is incredible. There is no weak link in it 1-9 or in their first few bench options. Even frickin' Kiermaier ended the season with an above-average OPS+. We need our pitchers to be nearly perfect. And their bullpen is pretty lights-out and deep too.

I think we can get to their starters though. McClanahan is the only SP who will be a problem. We can probably slug out wins in the series against the other pitchers. The key will be jumping on them early and often.

Win one in Tampa and who knows in a 5 game series.

Sorry you can't be trusted!!!!!

And if 60/40 Yankee fan is an outlandish take, saying Fenway will be 90% Sox fans tonight is laughable.

Johnny your a fool gotta put you on ignore

stay safe and have a great life but I can’t do Felger & Mazz sheep

Surprised they said that’s only a Homer in 11 of 32 parks

Word is Cashman in trouble - not surprised after gutting their farm system for 2 rentals

Me too. I believe it measured right at or just over 400 feet. I would have bet on left center being shallower than 400 feet in more than half of MLB ballparks.

Tampa only team left I like other then us

Tampa should be favored but they split in Tampa they can win this and will

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Obviously easy to say after the fact, but I’m really glad that the 4th place team has to beat the 5th place team to make the “actual” postseason. It can and should offer a huge momentum boost going into game 1 and that wouldn’t have been there nearly to the same degree even with a come from behind win against the nationals on the last day of the regular season.

Baz is their #2 starter. Dominant stuff but hes barely played in the majors and hes given up some HRs.

Ill be in row 2 of the RF bleachers to see the game Thursday, cant wait

after 86 years of torment the Yankees look lost vs Boston since 04.

I'm starting to believe that 2004 broke them as an organization.

Not that I think that is a bad thing, you understand.

f*** THE YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You were saying?

Cole has been pedestrian outside of a few starts since June when MLB cracked down on spider tac. Nothing about his second half surprises me.

Good call!

I must admit I never expected the Sox to win last night. Just looked like the same story I have seen too many times over the last 60 years or so.

Maybe they meant National Parks.

Is it weird that I don't hate the Yankees anymore? Like I don't like them, don't get me wrong. But I don't hate them. I just see them as...there. Same way I view the New York Jets, albeit way less dismissive. Red Sox-Yankees in the playoffs just does nothing for me anymore. I thought if the Sox won I would enjoy it but I feel no excitement.

It's funny but I truly didn't think I'd be as happy as I am over the win. I mean, I don't expect them to beat the TB Horseshoes, so even though they won, I don't have high hopes going forward. But I do still hate the Yankees with every fiber of my being.

There was that 5 game series in 2006 when the Yankees came into Fenway up 3 games on the Sox in mid-August.

Sox lost all five, 12-4, 14-11, 13-5, 8-5, 2-1.

1-8 in playoff games since 04

SOX ARE HOT. ROLL TAMPA. ALCS

It's like hating the Montreal Canadiens- once you breathe in the hate it becomes part of your DNA

I'm not seeing this.

What am I missing?

When you're from Connecticut, Yankees hate has no rival.

What am I missing?

2004 won 4 straight
2018 won 4-1
2021 1-0

1-9 actually, not 1-8
