I will be anxious watching The Big Maple pitch against these Sux sluggers. These September games are the actual previews of their playoff appearances.
Among other things, the firing of Dave Dombrowski, will fall under “What have you done for me lately”. One thing for sure......he will not be out of a baseball job for long.

On the firing of Dombrowski I say to Boston bad move. Dombrowski has been pretty sharp wherever he's served. Always in the ball park watching the games jotting notes and contemplating moves. Ask Grady Little and Terry Francona about success in Boston with the screwing that followed. AS Cage posted Dombrowski will not be out of a job long. I wanted to see the Yankees sweep this series but not to happen. A win tonight wins the series and that will be cool. May killer instinct prevail sending a "you don't fuck with the New York Yankees " message. Last nights ESPN Crew was all about Boston Problems as opposed to Yankees success. Lets see what kind of BS we'll hear from Costas tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
Judge goes down looking at the perfect strike; without an offering. On the inside corner, waist-high. The perfect pitch to drive over the Green M, over Lansdowne Street, to knock out any Bostonian. Sad to hear Tauchman will be down 6-8 weeks. End of his remarkable season??? Doors open for Maybin, Frazier and El-Whiffo i.e. Stanton.
All I could think about when I read this news earlier was “Fuck....here comes Stanton.” Hopefully his time away has healed his “injuries” and made him smarter with the bat.
Vasreguregitation, correction~ Verducci (what's the difference) is emulating Cost-us (peace of mind), with his comparison of GT to Devers and back again.... Let's compare GT to DiMaggio instead. But ya' can't compare Devers to Ted Williams (Mr. Sears) or Yaz (the Spud Farmer)...
I'll stick with "Fuck....here comes Stanton"... for now; until he proves me wrong 5 yrs from now, (hopefully on another team, unless he can impersonate his MVP self)....
If he would have swung at strike 3 instead of watching it Fly, by he May-Bin lucky. Roman Romaine Romine pokes the first run of the game over the right-field miniature fence... 389 feet
If he did not play one more inning and if he did not have one more at bat; LMHU would still get my vote for AL- MVP.
I would love to see Judge squat at-bat like Rickey Henderson, just once, once. .. Judge drops one into shallow left field for a base hit.
Damn nice job by Paxton this evening. Great hitting by Romine, Judge, LeMahieu and Urshela. Great catch by Gardner in center.
