Never mind the grumbling:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Is that rain? Are they going to play in the rain?
Looks like it. It's pouring, but they're playing.
Yankees finish at Baltimore. Maybe not if the hurricane moves up the coast. Or else they'll have to find a different venue.
A few years ago the Angels at Indians series was shifted to Milwaukee due to snow.
The latest forecast models have the hurricane going out to sea without hitting the east coast. Of course, there might still be a lot of rain down in Baltimore.
Why are they playing in this rain?
You know what's weird?
It feels like Beltran should have a lot more than 19 home runs.
[5] Because it's the last week of the season ... and the weather's very likely only to get worse from here though the weekend?
Huzzah, runs!
A RISP??? That's UNPOSSIBLE!
[9] Err, RBI with RISP ...
Nice dp. Watching the ESPN feed.
Evening all.
I mean, what a setting. It's cold. It's raining, it's windy. Nobody is there. CC is fighting for his life. The game is taking forever. Rich Hill would be a pleasure to witness tonight--he's got that deeply relaxed, deliberate way of moving around tonight, knowing this could be one of the final starts of his career.
HUGE DP, CC! After falling behind, too. Way to go, Big Fella!
And way to hang in there Robbie Ref.
There ya go, big guy
It is a miserable night. Maybe the first night heat is needed this season. CC if one thing is tough, but every time some Sox or two gets on base , the 2-3 run homer is the fear.
And, who is available in the bullpen that can keep a lead?
Runs, we need runs!
Nice rip, Chris. Man, that's the first ball that's dropped beyond a Red Sox outfielder this series. Guess cause it wasn't hit near Bradley.
That's a start.
OMG, a fly ball that the Sox outfield couldn't run down!
17) THAT, my friend, is a good question. Where is Warren? Wouldn't he be the logical guy to push up to come out of the pen?
Dayum, that's a hell of a throw
Sox outfield is pissing me the fuck off this series ...
Bullshit.
[24] yeah, pissed off they don't wear pin stripes?
Wonder how many magic bullets CC has left.
[26] No, I'm fine with our OF, but this is the series these bags of bollocks all decide to turn up and play out of their minds???
26) You have to be. They are some nice players--a little cocky, which makes them easier to root against. Not Bogarts, though. I really like Bogarts.
There was a soft ground ball that went against us. FUCK.
Not good
[22] asked and answered
[29] Cocky is good. I wish we had some guys with a bit more flair. Only Mo, hallowed be his name, was right to be stoic and 'classy'. I want some more oomph from the guys now..
Thank you Shit Sox.
Weren't getting out of it unscathed.
Phew!
Jesus...sweating here. MORE RUNS MORE RUNS
Big get out of trouble for CC. CC rolled the dice and made his point. Not sure if it would happen again.
Bru-tal.
You called it Alex, Adam Warren is the right move, he won't be starting tomorrow.
One away. Warren needs to get 9 up and 9 down.
Come on blue, where was that!
With a little bit o luck!
Nice! Ole
Hahaha! Awesome.
Since the Angels and Rangers play, the Yankees will play at least one more game even if they lose out. The most the Angles can win is 87 and that would leave Texas with 86. The most the Twins could win is 86. The Astros could win 87. Unless I am missing something.
Insurance, please
Christ with this Rich Hill already.
Homina homina homina
phew
Great pitch to get Bradley. And if Didi got called out on the low pitch it's only fair that Bradley Jr does too.
Nasty 1-1 curve.
Holy SHIT WHERE'S THAT PITCH????
You're killing us blue
Outstanding.
6 outs to go.
LET'S GET SOME DAMN RUNS!
Adam Warren is the just Yankee.
Let one fly, Bird
Thank you!
YES
[60] Spoilsport!
Weird.
Weird!
This is Warren's game. Forget anyone else, dude. Get 6 outs. Get us the win.
Why does Gardner suck so much?
He has to be playing hurt.
NICE. Fucking Shaw. Nice sequence. One out. 5 to go.
66) Do you think Ellsbury's been hurt too? I wonder cause he hasn't been the same since he returned from injury.
NICE. 1 pitch, 1 out.
4 to Go!
DiDi!
Didi did did!
Now that's what I call great range.
Cheers,all. Been missing most of this one. Rats.
I ❤ Didi.
Hey, a real SS, that sure is nice to have again ...
What???
Who the hell is that guy?
Moar insurance!
Jesus. I mean, nobody told us he could do that. He just crushed it.
They've got Betanes warming up. Why not just keep Warren in?
ROBBIE REF!!!!
Robbie The Rookie!
Now sit Betances the FUCK down, Joe!
So, does Rico get an AB in the last weekend series? Gotta say yes
Yeah, I would definitely let Warren bang the gavel and declare this game adjourned. Even if we don't score again. But absolutely definitely if we do.
Oh he's safe.
Uh.
Hm, maybe not. He tagged the helmet. Maybe.
[81] I realize it's your Opinion, but highly Judgemental of you.
[83] I was Commissioned to render a verdict.
Oh, "Boston sucks." Really?
The Losers' Chant, and in a particularly unoriginal mode.
[84] well played.
I really don't like relieving Warren here.
Then again, 1 up, 2 left.
Dang.
It's Good Dellin tonight.
One down
Dellin. This is the number 8 hitter. Why over throw? Relax.
Way to get it to 3-2.
Be aggressive. Go after him, son!
Sure hands.
One more pin Rodney!!!!!!!!
Two down
Jeez, blue, you're killing us tonight
First meaningful October game in 3 years upcoming. Whoo-hoo!
We belong! (Hopefully)
And there it is.
Postseason!
Three down!
And our bullpen ties the season strikeout record. Did the YES crew mention that? (I'm watching on NESN.)
WILD CARD, BABY!!!
Beautiful.
10K is a sweet one!
Congrats, but easy on the celebration. Haven't won nothing.
10,000 win, kinda like 10,000 hours?
Good on field celebration, not getting over amped. Now there's work to be done
The season started and you told us they'll be a wildcard team, we would have taken it. And I'm happy they got it now.
105) Other teams could take note.
When you hit the age of 64, just making it into the post-season is extremely satisfying.
Night all
WC game ain't the postseason for me..it's to get IN the playoffs.
[110] Yeah, but you drive on the wrong side of the road.
[110] Well said...and accurate. Who will we play?
[110] And I live in the future, use sticks to eat, AND take my shoes off before entering my home!
[111] Wow RI, my follwing comment got sent to moderation!
"A nd I live in the future, use sticks to eat, A ND take my shoes off before entering my home!"
RI, I keep having non-profane comments go to 'moderation' for some reason..in response to [111] . They were funny, maybe will liase through out long-haired pal in Hotlanta.
[105], [107] In the same spirit, I hate those hats and T-shirts so much.
You know what you should wear to celebrate an achievement? The uniform of your goddamn team, that's what.
That "POSTSEASON" hat on A-Rod looks like the "COLLEGE" sweatshirt on John Belushi.
Merchandising. I'll never buy any of that stuff.
Never take making the post season for granted. This is so cool.
It is really satisfying to see the Yanks finally clinch, and finally win #10,000, and to see these guys celebrate. That it came against the Red Sox is a little amusing icing on the cake; yet further proof the universe has a sense of humor (OF COURSE win #10,000 would come against the Red Sox; who else?).
The cool part is that these guys seem like a genuinely good bunch; I've really enjoyed following the team all season long.
Now let's see the Yanks clinch home field for the Wild Card game . . . and then win the Wild Card game . . . and then, we'll see what is next!
[105] Greg Bird just said the same thing - "we still have work to do". I love this kid.
YAY!!! : )
Survive and advance!
[111] He stands on the wrong side of the escalator out here, too. Big ass pain, like he's from Osaka or something.
