2021 Red Sox postseason thread

As much as I enjoy seeing the Yankees getting their asses whooped I need to go to bed.

That's not allowed.

Here’s Whitlock to close it out.

i wish ESPN would show a clip of ARod slapping the ball out of the first baseman's glove.

SOX WIN!

Kicking the Yankees asses in the playoffs never gets old. Make it 8 playoff game wins over them in their last 9 and sending them packing 3 times since the Steal!

You gotta love it!

LFG
Kick some Tampa Bay azz

Tee time for the Yankees !!!

 

[captain insano]

That is such a sweet win. Bucky dent in the house can kiss my @SS lol. no matter what happens the rest of the way. They did great and overachieved big time this year.

Remind me how the Sox ended up with HFA. I thought yanks were leading the WC

Yanks choked in their last regular season series vs the Rays, tied overall record, Sox have the tiebreaker.

How on earth did the Rays win 100 games. I’m looking at their stats. None of their pitchers won more than 10 games this season lmao. Their lineup doesn’t look any better than the Yankees. So many mediocre hitters.

I’m calling the upset. Sox in 5

Do they do the thing where they don’t have starting pitchers but pull them after an inning to two?

Well here’s hoping but Tampa is a good team.

But first let us savor Yankees elimination day, the greatest day of the year. Sox bullpen comes through. This season is already a success.

Doesn't it seem weird that in the last two years, since Brady went to Tampa Bay, the Boston hockey, baseball and football teams have faced TB teams in playoffs or reg. (Pats SB this Sunday) and TB teams have won?

Time to kick some Tampa Bay ass. No excuses. This is a good team.

My decorations for YED went up last night! Always that much better when YED happens because of the Sox

Nice “ace” ya got there Yanks lol. $320 M for a guy who gets his ass kicked by the Red Sox in the postseason and maybe is above average at best without that sticky stuff. Good times!

Clutch 2 out, hit Verdugo. Followed by dumb @ss base running. But ill take the 2 runs.

Does anyone have any insight into what he was thinking there? Even if you miscalculate, and see the throw go to second and be held, you back up to first and make them make a play at home. They can't afford to trap you in a run down, lest the runner on third score before they get you out. So force them to make a play at home; it they blow it, another run scores and you are standing on first or second, with a batter coming up.

Honestly, and (this morning at least) I say with affection, I think he’s just a bit of a dumb ass
