While I am genetically obligated to agree that NYY fans are stupid, I do think Aaron Freakin Boone has to own his managing mistakes. They have a killer bullpen and he should have been quicker with the hook. In a win or go home situation, cc was not at his best and should have been pulled sooner.

Other than that, NYY were lucky it was only 4 runs as Sox left them loaded twice I think? Porcello was really really good. 9th inning was agony. Nunez and Pearce were both clutch. Nunez really rose to the occasion compared to his regular season play and that pick by Pearce to end the game? Play of the series.

Yup, but Yankees can be pitched to. They didn't get on base. I thought Benitendy catch was the play

Also a key play. He makes a lot of great catches - the Sox have such a great outfield that I think we take it for granted sometimes.

Y'all sure do. JD is not as bad as people think he is either. He was pretty steady in Detroit until he ran into the wall and broke his elbow. But we probably won't see him a lot out there.

The Astros are gonna have their hands full. I think they have the better pitching but I think y'all are deeper position wise. Should be a fantastic series.

Looking forward to it. I'm hoping the long wait for game 1 will give the sox a chance to rest up and the Astros a chance to get lazy.

When you're hot ... the wait always kills you in baseball.

Let's hope so!!! It's happened so many times. Good Luck to my fav Dave Roberts and his Dodgers. I will wear my Dodgers cap on Friday.

I just seen them in Dunkin donuts, Ortiz was in there too, he probably picked up the bill.

I'm on my way to Acadia to get all the stuff @Destin left in the park, I like free stuff.

Roberts is soooooo good. We all love him out here. (He was happy to get to California, the door didn't hit him on his way out. )

Mary Lou is looking at Dodger tickets ... there is an area called the "All You Can Eat Pavilion". Must be where JC sits.
