I've been called upon to start the game thread early.  Let the discussion begin.  Hoping Rodon uses that strategy where he doesn't give up any runs. Or maybe even the one where he doesn't give up any hits. Both have seemed to work this year.

Sunday night baseball choosing Cubs at St Louis over Sox at Yankees is lame af

The fewer I have to listen to ARod the better.

You know what would be a nice thing for the Sox to do in NY...

This is a blessing.

Yankmees the only team (other than cubs) I want to spank and spank hard

I hate giving Yanx Cub Sawx any credit other than one leg at a time. Our douche baguette announcer will no doubt milk the drama of the setting this weekend. Will Rupert have Tony over for tea??

we have a new hero

Sox should have Rodon, Cease and Keuchel going in this series.  Any idea who is supposed to go for the Yankmes? 

MLB.com has NYY probables as TBD for all three games.

This man take his responsibility seriously

How the fuck do we have another off day?  I thought this was the 40 games in 41 day stretch or some shit.  Happy for the players to get a win on getaway day and enjoy a relatively normal NYC however.  They deserved it.  Just don't be too hungover for the opener.

March 2021 me says "well, at least we'll have Keuchel"

31 games in 31 days starting Friday. Would love to be 44-29 or better a month from now.

Same. I was promised games on games and games and instead its just more off days.

There are multiple doubleheader's sprinkled in 

The thing with the schedule is that the Sox are probably getting things that they wanted with the 2021 schedule. They took some inconveniences during the rebuild because they knew it didn't matter. This year they have road trips that make sense. They started on the West Coast to get it over with. They have Monday and Thursday off the last week of the season, and are home the final weekend. These are good things and not just random coincidences. They were bargained years ago.

ESPN is the Red Sox mouthpiece, MLBN is the Yankees mouthpiece.

Of course it is, but I'm glad. A Rod is horrible announcing games. I love hearing Steve Stone.

You might be right, the Yankees are always on whenever I flip on MLB Network. Almost all of their day games end up on the channel.

 

Can't think of much sweeter things than Cease outdueling Cole in the Bronx after Rodon shuts them down.. let's sweep em! 

I think this is an important series to showcase where we stand in the AL. Yeah we can beat up on the last place Twinkies, but let’s fuck up the Yanks in their own park. 2/3 would be legit.
