Berrios likely first out of the bullpen -- missed that he relieved last Friday as a test run

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 3 October 2017 20:10 (eight years ago)

Please god let the twinkies win this one.

The Yanks could go on a run if they win this game -- they've got a few scary hitters and a great bullpen. Which is why they must be stopped. Tonight.

― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 20:11 (eight years ago)

Anybody know where I can find a stream of this tonight that won't throw the "update your Flash!!!!" scareware at me?

Am I going to have to subscribe to this shit on cable just for one night? I know the Yanks will lose. I can feel it.

― calstars, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 00:23 (eight years ago)

I cancelled PS Vue weeks ago and thought it had expired last week, but I checked before the game and it's still working, so I have ESPN tonight. Loving the game so far, fukk u yankese.

Neil Allen has the same haircut as when he was traded for Keith Hernandez.

78 pitches in the game so far

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 00:54 (eight years ago)

― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 01:35 (eight years ago)

running on Sanchez, that's good to see.

At this rate is Girardi gonna have a pitcher to strike out a guy in the 6th or 7th?

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 01:36 (eight years ago)

History! This is the first winner-take-all postseason game ever in which neither starter got past the 2nd inning.

ESPN Radio crew speculating we'll see CC or another NYY starter on the mound tonight

my favorite baseball player is All Rise Judge and i just spent $129.95 on his commemorative judge bat

didn't Judge just have a better season than Fistpump ever did?

― ice cream social justice (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 02:35 (eight years ago)

They're gonna go with a starter cause Betances has been iffy of late and they'd rather save Chapman for the next round *knock wood*

― bodak horseman (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 4 October 2017 02:40 (eight years ago)

the yankees and rob manfred just agreed that derek je2r's legacy will be absorbed by All Rise The Judge, their career stats have been merged and judge is actually a really good shortstop if you watch him every day

this merging will be commemorated with a commemorative statue of All Judge digesting the exhumed corpse of the now-forgotten yankee captain

― qualx, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 02:42 (eight years ago)

i hear they're gonna do another 9/11 because it just feels wrong that they did the first one without judge

― qualx, Wednesday, 4 October 2017 02:44 (eight years ago)

dangit, hope the video of this game is up on mlb.com or elsewhere later. i really need to grab video of the part where Sanchez's balls died because the pitcher's simultaneous expression was priceless
