MLB 2017: The Yankees are dead, Yankees burn in hell

[The Lady Eve]

^That was a terrific game. Joe G. is being raked over the coals on WFAN and the newspapers. He was a good catcher and he's also a good manager. Pity the review call - or lack thereof - is going to haunt him.

Hendricks outduels Strasburg for a 1-0 series lead.

If the good Lester can show up tonight vs. Gonzalez, and the offense can do a little more, we could come back to Wrigley up 2-0.

I'm looking forward to that Cubs game (and not just because Lester was on my fantasy team this year). I'm sorry I missed out on Game 1 but the Indians/Yankees game just kept on going and going and going...

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

The Cubs sure blew it quick tonight. Still, coming home 1-1 ain't bad.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

And this time it wasn't Jon Lester's fault (although he did try)!

Then he pulled it out and even went one more inning. It just shows anybody can have a bad game/inning and we got hurt by Harper first.

Your World Series pick? I had Indians/Dodgers at the start of the season and am not going to waver from it now.

Yeah, I think that's still going to shake out, and I have to give the edge to Cleveland, because that bullpen is fucking terrifying.

Still, coming home 1-1 ain't bad.

To an extent I agree with you, but I don't exactly have a ton of faith in a hobbled Arrieta to win a potential elimination game.

Hopefully Maddon won't hesitate to pull him quickly and put in Montgomery or Lackey if needed.

I dislike playoff rounds being prolonged unnecessarily. Red Sox/Yankees: "Why can't you just be a good boy and die?"

Nah, that's part of the fun. That's what made the 2004 ALCS so thrilling.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Astros win 5-4 and advance to ALCS.

 

[Scout101]

Yeah that ended about as expected. They weren’t going all the way, so may as well not drag us through any more...

 

[The Nth Doctor]

This Cubs/Nationals game is crazy. Fantastic pitching duel that went scoreless for almost six innings until Kyle Schwarber committed a double error (after his outfielder cohorts fielded great catches earlier on). Nationals converted a double play from the outfield, but then just now they practically pulled a Major League with a pop-up landing in front of three fielders.

 

[BlueStuff]

It's striking how similar the Nationals are to the Capitals when it matters. Washington postseason sports.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Red Sox fire John Farrell. link

 

[Tom Hendricks]

Terry Collins is available, right kind of guy for the Boston area.

 

[BlueStuff]

Nats score a grand slam! Amazing!

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Where was the incoming wind for that one, damnit?! Russell clobbered the ball earlier in the game and it was caught.

Then the Cubs would've lost 1-0 instead of 5-0. If Strasburg really was sick, this was his "Jordan has the flu" moment. Here's hoping for another good game from Hendricks and a little damn offense vs. ""undecided".
