From what Fox had on screen, more than half of our World Series (5/9) were won with first year managers.

Yay

My real thoughts this WS were that we were gonna rock the NL because we just sorta do. And that Roberts was really in over his head. Seriously that all righty lineup was about as bad as it gets. And losing games late with your best reliever getting no work is a bit out dated.

Cora generally was awesome

I had Boston in 6 in my life

Go Sox!

Our lefties suck vs lefties. Its suicide to play otherwise. Not his fault the FO assembled a team with huge platoon splits. You play guys vs LHP that havent seen LHP all year and you arent going to get very pleasant results. You have to try to win games the same way you have won games all season.

And the best reliever getting no work wasn't on him either. Players being unavailable is a decision talked about through the whole organization(From medical staff, FO, and manager/coaches).

It's a shame the Brewers didn't win the NLCS. They really should have. I'm sure the Red Sox would have beat them in 4 or 5 games too, but at least it would have been more interesting.

I didn't watch as much of the ALCS and World Series as I did the DS so maybe I'm wrong here, but at least it did seem like the Yankees were the closest to beating the Red Sox. And they were the only ones who were able to really beat up Price, although that's something they always do.

I think the big surprise of it all was how well the Boston bullpen performed. I thought that was their biggest weakness and it would cost them the ALCS. But they did a nice job.

They didn't really perform WELL. They just managed to avoid that one catastrophic hit because the Dodgers, Astros, and ESPECIALLY the Yankees let them off the hook multiple times.

Probably because of this. Judge trolled the Sox, so they trolled back bigger. You're probably gonna say "Well they still could've done that with one of their songs" but this is the bigger troll job.

Also "act like you've been there before" is dumb. Act as happy or boasting or however as you want when you achieve great accomplishments. You earned that right. And the opposing fans have a right to be pissed over it as well!

They did already troll back though. I do think it's kinda weird to celebrate winning the World Series in that way, but ultimately they can do whatever they want. They did win after all.

Spoken like a true fan of a failure franchise.

If the Yanks beat the Sox in the ALDS, they would be not be gloating the second the ALCS started.

Boston has won 4 titles in the past 15 years. At this point, beating a rival should be dirt off their shoulders. But I guess they'll just have to win 18 more before they can finally act like champions.

To act like Champions you both win with class, and win clean.

There isnt enough class in the city of Boston to fill up a skyline chili bowl, and they havent won a legitimate Championship since LITERAL 1986... so, you know...

(Disclaimer, I like the rest of the country dont watch nor care about hockey, so their Stanley Cup May be legit, I would however place it likely as cheating, since you know... BOSTON, and all.)

There was a yankees fan in the left field pavilion inciting the chant. It wasn't just a random chant like it would have seemed on tv. He was getting it from both teams so it wasn't really even a Boston thing. The chant had happened there a few times over the course of the night.

If A-Rod wasn't a pathetic choke we would've won in 04, 05 and 06.

I remember watching him GIDP against the Angels after Jeter battled and hit a single and we had two men on in 05 and it just absolutely killed us.

2009 was a nice redemption story, but the A-Rod era Yankees should've been a dynasty and HE is the reason we weren't. You can't have the focal point of your entire lineup be mentally incapable of playing in the playoffs.

Which is why we absolutely must trade Giancarlo Stanton before next season.

Send him to a team where he'll never have to worry about playoff pressure, like the Mets. We'll give you him for DeGrom.
