Wild Card Game Thread -- Non Pro-MFY Version

[Jed Zeppelin]

Beyond wearing pinstripes, I agree.

As if this isn’t the single greatest factor that makes someone hateable.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Yankees have what it takes to win out

any team could crush the pitching MIN has put out tonight. let's stop with the hyperbole.

oh yeah, gamethread.

 

[TFisNEXT]

I hate him already. He's Jeter II

Yeah. I think some forget (or were too young to remember) that nobody had a reason to hate Jeter right when he came up. It didn't take much ballwashing to change our minds.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Jessica Mendoza is awful

And taking the same "supplements" Arod took. All will be over when the reason of his separated teeth and prognathism are revealed.

Yea, shut the fuck up

Why is it hyperbole? The Yankees can really hit and have a lockdown bullpen. If they can get some hot starters, they certainly could go all the way.

 

[soxhop411]

I wish this was the LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA of angels... They would have put up a fight

 

[patoaflac]

Yea, shut the fuck up

WHY?

 

[BaseballJones]

At least Minnesota made them nervous for.....

....a half inning.

 

[StuckOnYouk]

The problem with falling in love with what the Yankees are doing is they have been at home for the last month and probably haven't faced a good pitching staff in a month.
But anything is possible

to "run the table" and win 12 in a row?

Seriously. All the pieces are there if Severino gets back on track. This pen is lights out.

Run the table and win three series in a row.

 

[santadevil]

That's the inning they needed. Rally around that and score some runs

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Given history, they likely would have won.

Hey, at least the Yankees have a new perennial whipping boy. That has to make some of their mouth-breathing fans happy.

The Twins are done scoring for the night.

Assuming the Astros and Indians, who have better starters, hitters, and also have shutdown bullpens, don't beat them, then, sure, they could totally go all the way.

 

[santadevil]

There's something...

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Tuning in late, but why is Buxton out of the game? Hurt on that catch?

 

[ToeKneeArmAss]

yep

 

[54thMA]

Jessica Mendoza is awful

They didn't name a line after her for nothing, but in her case, it's incompetent announcing, not hitting.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Castro is disgusting. not looking forward to Leon maybe repeating that this Thursday.

 

[ToeKneeArmAss]

They didn't name a line after her for nothing, but in her case, it's incompetent announcing, not hitting.

And she's well below it

 

[BigSoxFan]

Nice game, loser

Nice analysis. Wrong, but really well done.

No one hates the MFYs more than I do, but discounting them as a legitimate threat is silly

 

[Sprowl]

I think I'll be rooting for Cleveland

for old Tito's sake.

 

[ToeKneeArmAss]

Robertson now at a career-high 3 IP

 

[ToeKneeArmAss]

Fucking Yankee Stadium strikeout whistle is the worst.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Holy shit, I think you're serious.

I'm wondering if there is a single non-delusional person on Earth who genuinely believes the Twins will win.

I'm skeptical. Maybe one or two of the Twins players' moms.

 

[santadevil]

Be a mistake

Be a mistake

Be a mistake

 

[ToeKneeArmAss]

Does Girardi get a bonus for TV time? Why the fuck did he come out there?

 

[dhappy42]

It's so bush league.

Eternal optimist when it comes to baseball

"Off the glove of Sanchez" is the new "past a diving Jeter"

 

[Blue Monkey]

right in the fucking balls

You know what's worse? It's sponsored.

Sanchez took a gezonk in the bedoingos.

 

[shoosh77]

Nuts!

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Does he not wear a cup?

Anywho, the vicarious pain Robertson felt was quite touching. That's empathy, folks.

 

[santadevil]

Robertson's reaction was amazing

 

[ToeKneeArmAss]

Tying run comes to the plate. I for one will not hold my breath.

 

[patinorange]

How about one of those pop ups to right that count as a homer?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Ortiz, Jeter, Cabrera, Pujols would all homer here to tie this game. Mauer will fail.

 

[dhappy42]

Of course he wears a cup. Taking a foul tip to the nuts with no cup would put you in the hospital. Hurts even with a cup.

I believe there are a few catchers out there who don't wear cups. I could be mistaken but I have been told they believe it hinders their movement.

Great camera work

 

[kelpapa]

Terrible camera work again

 

[phrenile]

This camerawork is NESN-esque.

 

[santadevil]

Fuck...
