Red Sox/MLB ALDS - Red Sox Lead 2-1

[Johnnyduke]

Ya I mean it would make sense if it's the A's against the Red Sox. Then I would expect everyone else to root for Oakland.

I'm confused by the point though because taking history out of it, the Rockies were the clear underdog against the Cubs. Inferior record, had to travel from LA, pitcher going on 3 days rest.

I was fine with the Cubs winning the WS when they did but that's it. It got annoying along the way and after that. The song, the flying a W, the celebrity fans, boy wonder Theo...I just got tired of it all.

Scott Oberg who won last night striking out 4 of 5 Cubs is a former Tewksbury high pitcher and U Conn grad. Very cool you never know

Congrats to him

...the celebrity fans, boy wonder Theo...I just got tired of it all.

You're right. Boston natives celebrities supporting Boston, Theo bringing the title to Boston, these things are just evil.

Watched that game last nite and the catcher for Cubs was a real dick.Matt Holladay took a serious look back at him after a strikeout with the way he went on then on a walk he went on again a bit much followed by the fake injury freezing the pitcher .Baez video as well saying they are best team earlier in day was a bit much.Happy that team is out no matter who wins.

Nobody said anything about the Cubs being evil. I think I did use the word annoying and I stand by that. I don't have to root for Theo's current team just because of what he did for the Red Sox or because he's from the area. Why are you so offended that I don't love the Chicago Cubs?

Sweet Caroline, Brick Selling....I am sure I am forgetting a lot more.

Sweet Caroline, Brick Selling....I am sure I am forgetting a lot more.

...which are extremely annoying.

 

[Johnnyduke]

Sweet Caroline was the only song I added to "Do not play" list for my wedding

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

...which are extremely annoying.

Ok, you are consistent then. You are just as tired of it all with the Red Sox like you are with the Cubs.

 

[Johnnyduke]

I'm pretty sure most if not all legitimate Sox fans are tired of Sweet Caroline and all that other BS. Just put a good team on the field and spend money to try and win. That's all I care about. I haven't been to a Sox game in a few years, the pink hat portion of the crowd can take Sweet Caroline and shove it.

How about Baez wrapping up Arenado on that ground ball. How is that not interference of some sort? Particularly after they had already called it on COL’s catcher earlier in the game.

Yah I didn’t get that either, but arrenado didn’t help himself laughing it off either. Think if he had made an attempt to throw it may have been called. I don’t care for either team and still don’t think of the Rockies as a real baseball team, but that game ended how it should have in the 9th in my opinion.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Yankees taking the A's for granted it would seem with Severino starting....obviously wanting to set Happ up for games 1 and 5 with the Sox.

A's going with the bullpen game.

Happs in the bullpen, if the kid chokes he will come in.

 

[22Brad Park]

Happs in the bullpen, if the kid chokes he will come in.

I would not call it choking. The kid can go 8 innings and still hit 100 on the gun so talent is there .Key for him will be if Oakland has men on base can he trust Sanchez enough to bury a pitch in the dirt with 2 strikes.If not and he is trying to blow fastballs past hitters then he could be in trouble.

Yah, you’re right. I’m just trying to get myself into the right negative Nancy frame of mind so if they lose I’m not as bummed about it LOL I’ll save $25 being able to cancel mlb
tv tomorrow tho so there’s that lol

 

[EverettMike]

f*** the Yankees I hope they lose by 50 and their hot dogs give their fans food poisoning.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

**** the Yankees I hope they lose by 50 and their hot dogs give their fans food poisoning.

I heart you anyways

Oakland knows this is a one game playoff, right? Why are they starting a scrub?

This is their plan. Starter will be in soon. Has been known

 

[N o o d l e s]

Yankees should remember a lead in the first inning of a wild card game doesn’t mean much

 

[22Brad Park]

Judge is a holy terror .That guy gets better in playoffs

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Yes, better to be tied 0-0

 

[Johnnyduke]

I thought Oakland had a good bullpen? Looking like ours so far. The opener strategy looking shaky.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Oakland beating NY in an important game is about as likely as Minnesota doing it.

 

[Johnnyduke]

The A's haven't had a prayer in this game

Looking at the Yankees I see fewer flaws than the Sox. Better bullpen, good lineup, good enough starting pitching. It might be obvious but we REALLY need Sale, Price and Porcello to win the day. And based on health of Sale and playoff history of Price and Porcello...

 

[JRull86]

Why was Fernando Rodney the guy to send against the meat of the lineup? He sucks.
