ANGER, NESTOR & THE YANKEES DUTY TO WIN GAME 5


Last night sucked.  

We were supposed to play but it never happened. Alot of people are pissed today because many can't take off of work to go to a baseball game. A 4 o'clock game means you really gotta get to the Stadium by 2:30, tailgate, beer up at the Hard Rock, whatever you want to do to get going.  Then you get in, you hopefully see a big win by the Yankees, the celebration and then the prep for the ALCS.  Otherwise, if there's that loss, none of it was worth it.  Alot of pissed off fans and "Fire Boone" and "Fire Cashman" as you leave the Stadium. 

Last night's shitshow was orchestrated by Rob Manfred. The clown of the MLB.  The Yankees were on the same calls with them and Cleveland.

Look, the bottom line is both teams wanted to play and if they waited another 20 minutes, they would have. But we all kind of knew they weren't going to play past 10pm last night. And so, we all gave out hope, but we knew deep down it really wasn't going to happen. 

This idiot Cleveland fan is probably the worst example of fandom you'll ever see.

 
I loved that @EmSheDoesIt was able to share this on Twitter. I didn't see it until this morning. What a tool this Cleveland guy is.   Don't get me wrong, there are ton of Yankee fan friends that were furious about last night too, but this guy is literally a straight up idiot. Today, many had to scramble to try and sell off their tickets from last night because we all have to work.  There will be no play for many of us. Instead, we're going to have to watch from our laptops or sneak 101.9 WFAN on their live stream.  We all don't have TVs when we work. Kind of blows.

But look, Yankee fans know this drill. How many times have you been to a game that you knew was going to get rained out. But you continued to eat, you continued to pound beers at the stadium. Why? Because it's there and you love to party, that's why.  Last night was no different. And sure, Yankee fans were pissed that we didn't play, but there is NOT CONSPIRACY THAT CLAIMS THAT MLB CATERED TO THE YANKEES BECAUSE THEY ARE A BIG FRANCHISE TEAM. That's stupid.



And so, we turn the page. Today is Game 5 of the ALDS.  Jameson Taillon was replaced by Nestor Cortes, Gerrit Cole said he'd give Aaron Boone whatever he needs and literally Boone needs to manager this like it's do or die today. Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. 



We need our bats to wake up. This is our house. This is our year, and we need to do damage today.  I'd love to see Judge have a good day. I'd love to see some small ball mixed in with Giancarlo Stanton strength.  And yes, we need our pitching to be stellar!  

There is no question that Francona, a total pro when it comes to this type of series, will navigate his pitching perfectly. He always does. This game will come down to Boone and Francona and neither of them messing their pitching up. If they do, they lose this game. If they don't, they win. It's a blink contest.  

Sadly however, Terry Francona has the experience to absolutely beat the Yanks.


But we're the Bronx today, and so we need to deliver and that comes down to Boone managing perfectly. 

Aaron Boone lost Game 3 on his own the other night.  We had to dig out in Game 4 and did. But now, collectively, this Yankee team, us Yankee fans need to be loud and proud and win today.

Yesterday is yesterday. Today's a new day. Let's bring a win and let's get to the ALCS Yanks... it just makes sense!

Go Yanks!
