I’m caught up to the 10th with NY now up 1 - 0. After they scored it boils my blood hearing chants of “Let’s go Yankees” from the stands in OUR park.

Disgusting.

Happy we shut those fuckers up and made that poor little kid have his dreams crushed two games in a row.

Blackburn had allowed 4 HR all season, and only 4 ER since May 16 (0.92 ERA, 2nd best in MLB over that time) before the Sox tagged him for 2 HR/3 ER to tie the game.

Rickey’s Will’s boys don’t quit!!!!

I’ll be there with my son. We’ll do our best to bring home the split.

Wasn’t pretty, but we got it done! Horrible traffic coming home, but so much easier to sit through after a win.

Is Colson coachable?

Obviously he is and I can’t believe this is even a serious questions… are we COMPLETELY forgetting that he wasn’t sent from the show back to our Arizona facility in his rookie season to overhaul his work at the plate?

He’s just an Adam Dunn like hitter with defensive value - so people will always hate on the kid.

If he would grow into bringing more situational hitting value ( which I believe he will in time ) then look out!

Back to Colson. First three pitches were balls, then 2 meatballs over the middle for strikes. Did they put the Take Sign on, or did he just not swing?

Would have to assume so. Early in the game he had also worked a 3 - 0 count, was given the green light, and promptly grounded out to first.

You absolutely need take on the 3-0 count in that situation. He would still have to come at you two more times with the game on the line. And the 3-1 pitch was a slider. I don’t mind that take at all. The 3-2 pitch was the issue, not the previous two pitches.

Kindly, f*ck off Yankees!

When he couldn't throw a strike, I think you take two. They got to 3-0, and Stone just blurted out, "NO! I know you were going to ask, and no, you don't swing on 3-0, and maybe not even 3-1."

However, I think Colson has to offer at 3-1. That seemed inevitable he would throw it in the dirt, and Colson would bite.

I was at a game against the Yankees years back and NY was in last place at the time...and their fans were still unbelievably obnoxious.
