My roommate is a Yankees fan. Tomorrow is his birthday. I’ve decided his present will be me not bringing up tonight’s game You are a philanthropist. Your mom should be proud. If they win tomorrow, however, I make no such promises

I didn't get this excited about the 2021 team until much later. July baseball hasn't meant this much to me since 2018, when being down 4 meant we were gonna win by 3. This team has a thing. We'll see how much of a thing.

About a month ago I didn’t think there would be much sports entertainment between the end of the Celtics season and the beginning of football season but I’m glad to be wrong! Getting a much better feeling about this year’s team than the last two. So glad the Sox moved on from Dugie, my god what a mediocre baseball player

The only thing that could have been better than a Sox rout is a crushing phycological heart stabber. Wink beating Cole tomorrow to lock in the series win would take their soul Tomorrow we see if Cole made the right career choice earlier this year. The day after we get to knock a few pegs off Gil's ROY case.

So - 2 more against MFY - then 3 Oakland and 3 KC before the All Star break. Last 6 games at home. Should be lots of wins there. With the way this sorry-ass MFY team is playing, the next series against the A's might actually be t ougher for the Red Sox.

The Yankees have been awful the past three weeks and they're still playing .600 ball. They're still a damn good team.
I bring this up because they're a measuring stick for the Red Sox. The Red Sox have been measuring up. They're a good test for the Sox and the Sox have been succeeding.
Last year the Sox beat up NY but they were a nediocre team themselves, so they werent a good measuring stick
They were in the 2022 but the Sox failed miserably and got killed by them.
In 2021 the Sox measured up. I'm sure many remember German throwing a no-hitter into the 8th with a 4-0 lead and then the Sox exploding for 5 runs and the 5-4 win, and of course beating them in the playoff game. That defined their season as a success.
In 2018 the Yankees had an excellent team but again as the measuring stick the Sox defined themselves as the greatest version that they've ever been as the memories included humiliating them in a 4 game Fenway sweep in August, and then clinching the division in NY and eliminating them in NY in the ALDS. The Yankees won 100 but the Sox measured up better and won 108 regular season wins on the way to 119 total wins.
A year later the Sox didnt measure up and the Yankees left them in the dust.
I bring all this up because hate them all you want but they're a good measuring stick for the Sox and its encouraging that the Sox are measuring up.

Getting the grill up and running when Yoshida made some magic. I let out a yell that scattered the fledgling crows who's mama has been using the neighborhood as a nursery for quite a few years now. Just checked the score after getting the dinner ready for a meal under the trees and the deep shade they throw in our yard. Delayed gratification as I see they pulled it out. I'm going to enjoy watching the coffin nail!
Add: Watched the finale... scripted for Netflix.

I hate those Mfers, too, but I try to be mature about it. If they truly sucked (beyond the past 3 weeks where they have totally sucked) beating them wouldn't mean what it means. Kicking them when they're down is fun - I'm old enough to remember how the Sox destroyed them in 1990 when the Yankees were truly pathetic - it was fun - Bucky Dent got fired as Yankee manager at Fenway Park, but beating then when theyre going to win their 90 plus games is more rewarding. It says more about how good the Sox are.

1.1%.
Them's the Win Probabilty when Dom Smith came to bat.
That was the least likely comeback going back at least to to 2016, beyond which there's a gap in my data.

The interesting thing about Cedanne's HR is that, with a guy who chases everything, the catcher set his glove up in the exact middle of the strike zone - and the pitcher hit the mitt, or would have if the ball had gotten there.
Why anybody ever throws Cedanne a strike is beyond me.
