I’m still confused how we won when I read all about how the Yankees had ROBBED US of home field advantage but I’ll take it. Also thankfully due to work and young kids I could not stay up until 5am to suffer the cardiac problems resulting from the bottom of the 9th and only enjoyed the post fact result

it's a very special one this year, 14 years since they delivered such a nut punch...

I told you I want a piece of this team in the ALDS when we are whole again, as we are now.

This overrated Red Sox team is beatable, very beatable, and IMO we'll kick their asses ... when we are whole.

I mean...

As hard as Boston is to play in, it can't be as bad as that front page pun shit that the Daily News/Post pulls.

I don't thinks that fair. These guys are pros and accomplished a lot to get to the Bigs. They are all expecting good things to happen, and expect to win. Not a Yankee thing.
This strikes me as an extremely inappropriate post in a YED thread.

Exactly. Also, this guy gets it:

"If we don't win [it all], it's not a great year for us," reliever Dellin Betances said in February. "It's probably the first season I've ever come in with those expectations."
Again, if Steinbrenner were still alive, he'd be ripping the shit out of this team for talking about how "proud" they are of "fighting." They didn't fight -- they sank like a stone and didn't get a single hit in two games in their own stadium with runners in scoring position.

Steinbrenner was an asshole, but on this point at least, he wasn't wrong.

I don't feel one bit sorry for Brett Gardner.

But I am surprised the Yankees are might part ways with him. He is the toughest, orneriest SOB, impossible to get out, and good in CF.

Was anyone else surprised how badly he misplayed Kinsler's 2B?

There is rabid Yankee fan in our city that puts lots of money into a baseball facility. He put up bulletin board asking for baseball photos, I had that printed off ready to go when my son convinced me to be more subtle. Somebody on here convinced me to go with this:

It is still prominently featured. A great trojan horse,what appears pic of Captain Overrated is rally the beginning of GCABCE.

Monday at my son’s baseball practice, his coach was giving a little wrap up talk to the kids after practice. Now this guy is a HUGE Yankee fan — always wears all NYY garb at every game and practice — so at the end he says: “Now go home and watch the game tonight. If your parents tell you to go to bed, you have them call me.”
So my son, calmly sitting there holding his wooden Red Sox bat, yells “Yankees Suck!”

Now I’m not sure if he will play much in his next game, but it will have been worth it!

Then you wonder how MFY fans get a bad rap; speaking of bad, that "NY" made out of a recycled license plate in the Rikers Island shop along with the cheeseball Mardi Gras bead chain is quite a get up, the young Jesse Ventura wannabe behind him certainly approves.

Meanwhile, Ted Allen sits there in the background and studiously ignores the whole thing.

As a baseball agnostic, I don't root for any particular team to win the World Series, but this is my world series each year. I celebrated the victory for sure. The rest is just Bonus Baseball.
