The Yanks are headed back to the postseason as they clinched at least a wildcard berth yesterday with a tidy, 5-1 win. The pitching was superb and a 3-run dinger by Greg Bird was enough to lift our boys back to October.
Look, let me be the first to say that I am awfully nervous that the Twins, after being whipped by the Yanks so often in the playoffs, will finally get their revenge. But if the Yanks can win that game, they can give the Indians a pain in the ass.
Never mind the future, let’s stay in the moment.
This has been a weird but enjoyable season thus far.
Let’s Go Yank-ees!
Picture by Bags
And Jaime will now be pulled at 4.2 innings, losing 1-0.
Yeah, just going to be a sloppy game today
We might have the Score Truck in the States, but in Canada they apparently have Teo's Car. Who the fuck is that kid anyway? Prolly just some random September callup...
I hated Millar and now hate Pillar.
Agreed. I fucking hate pillar. And Ellsbury's arm is weak.
So lame. Post celebration hangover...
Yup. Hate both Kevin Illar's.
What a fucking dud.
I’d like to the record of the day after post season clinching teams.
Ok, Jonathan. Make like your surname.
Didn't hold em...
Welp, there’s the ballgame
Well, at least we won't be shutout...
What a terrible call! He was clearly safe. If this replay takes more than 30 seconds, hey really need to fix it up.
Fuck you, Joey bat flip. Good riddance.
Twins are already in double digits. I imagine the blow jays will be there very soon.
Mitchell will have a lumberjack beard by this time next year and throwing bullets outta the pen for pale hose or tiggers or some team like that...
Ben have em hell with one pitch! If he were on the Boston BeanCheaters, he'd be praised throughout baseball and media as better than Mo!
Is Andujar up? He needs to be in this game!
Definitely playing hung over
47 (48)! Non steroid record
Solo job for Judge! 47th. Well, really 48. That pisses me off. I really hope he makes it to 50...
I don't think McGwire was on the sauce as a rookie. He was super skinny then.
Bird with another nice pull stroke.
48 (49)!
All Rise!! #48. Really, he just tied Big Mac.
How many multi-homer games does he have this season?
All rise! So exciting!!
[25] good point thelarmis! That should be 49!!!
Hey, and look at that: shit sox came back and are now winning. What a shocker.
Reds are useless
Bye bye, Joey Batflips
Good riddance, Joey bat fucker
[31] You crack me up. "Bat Fucker" Ha! I was actually laughing out loud, but I refuse to use that abbreviation.
Yay, Monday afternoon baseball.
Good start.
49 (50)!
Judge! That's really 50, plus he had 2 others robbed by defense. I sure hope he gets one more this week...
Didi with the leather. Phew
Another robbery thwarted
Go-go Didi!
Love the hustle
Bird!
Birdie really finding his pull stroke!
Rats, there goes the shutout.
I guess CC stayed out there an inning too long...
That's better.
FIFTY!!!!
Holy crap!!!
Curtain call!
And another multi-homer game. I think that's his 7th.
And the Sanchize goes back-to-back! Wahoo!!
50 (51)! New rookie record
And El Gary pretty much has the same amount, if not more, in the same amount of games. Amazing!
I want double digits!!
Next stop, gouble digits.
Gary is such a good hitter.
Double Digits!!
Gouble digits!
Hey all.
I haven't been here much this season, but just had to check in for the historic moment.
Well done, Yer Honor.
Hot diggity!
Great game!
I hope the shit sox lose every game this week and next.
Eager to watch this one on reply tonight.
[55] Howdy, RI!
I got home from work and needed to rest so I watched Judge highlights for an hour or so. That was good fun! YAY for his honor!
[58] Howdy!
[57] I meant to say to you: I can't believe Aaron Judge actually hit 50 homers IN ONE GAME. That seems impossible!
RI - if you dream it, anything is possible. Aaron Judge did indeed hit 50 homers in one game. I watched it with my very own three eyeballs. While it certainly is a goodly amount, I expect his new record to be broken in 30 years. For now, his standing in history will remain in tact.
