Thanks Jacko. The Yankees made it a lot closer than it needed to be.

 

Despite your graciousness, I hope your boys lose to the Twins.

Not yet.

[mvp 78]

And Theo!

 

Less than nothing to do with this.

Don't forget Ben!

 

Yup, don’t forget Ben’s back to back last place teams!

JF is the greatest manager in Sox history.

 

No Sox manager has ever won 3 division titles.

 

2 in a row, even!

 

Sign him to a lifetime contract.

Or 2 back to back last place finishes.

Without looking it up, I don't think the Yanks have EVER lost to the Twins in the playoffs.

Or 2 back to back last place finishes.

 

We finished in last place...

 

5 times in row (8th out of 8 teams) 1926-1930

(Last in 7 our of 8 and 8 out of 10)

--Carrigan was the manager for 3 straight

--L Fohl for 2 straight

Well then, the Law of Averages favor the Twins.

I bet the Guardians are hoping they face the Twins, Yanks are going to give them a series. If Bentances and Chapman get hot with that kid Green, they have a BP that could give the Guardians trouble. Edited September 30, 2017 by OH FOY!

The addition of Price to our pen has turned ours into a top pen as well.

 

(They had pretty good numbers before Price.)

 

Plus, since the start of the year, we have added Workman, Reed and Smith as well.

[OH FOY]

Wouldn't shock me if its the Sox and Yanks for Pennant. I think the coming out party this Post-season will be Bird. This kid can hit. Edited September 30, 2017 by OH FOY!

Theo's 2011 draft didn't?

[Bellhorn04]

Wouldn't shock me if its the Sox and Yanks for Pennant.

 

I don't know, Cleveland looks the best team in baseball and they were 5-2 against the Yankees this year. But anything can happen.

I am against taking the foot off the pedal.

 

Hammer the 'stros again Sunday.

That kid Green got by me, 69 Innings with a 103 K's.

100 win teams have done pretty bad in LDS against 90 win teams in last 30 years. 14-21 and eliminated 11 times.

Houston and Cleveland in the ALCS.

 

I'm okay with that since I did not expect the Sox to get that far this season anyway.

 

Hats off to David Price.

[fxkatt]

I assume the Yanks-Twin game is in NYC. Not good news for the Twins. It seems to me they play very poorly there.

 

But I am very confident that Cleveland will beat the Yanks.

 

Our job right now is to win one of the first two games, and then try to win it all at home.

[jacksonianmarch]

We can beat Cleveland. With our pen and Girardi unleashed, I think we can beat them. We can outlast Kluber and Carrasco. My concern is Keuchel. You guys need to beat them. We NEVER hit him and against us, he can go 9.

Congrats guys. Good fight for the division. See you in the playoffs, I hope

 

Thanks. Your surprising Yankees battled to the bitter end.
