In the other AL playoff series, go White Sox.

I have had a huge problem with Boone. He makes real questionable calls on the daily. Like how in the hell is Gallo the strikeout king batting cleanup behind Stanton and Judge last night. Apparently his staff is equally as questionable- phil nevin wtf is wrong with you????
Time for Boone and Cashman to go. This is what happens when you build a team around 30 homerun 200 avg hitters and neglect your starting pitchers because analytics tell you the bullpen is more important. Gerritt Cole you should be arrested for impersonating an ace.

Few thoughts from last night:
It is still weird for me to see Cole in a Yankees uniform

Fenway (or Boston) is not what it was. I used to love seeing games in Fenway in the late 90s and prior to 2004. The place was packed you rarely saw opposing team gear in the stands. Now they are like every other stadium it was like 20% Yankees fans. You never saw that in the 90s.

Boone and his comments like "The league is closing the gap on us" that is laughable. He needs to go. I agree with Cashman too. Punch I think you have only one genuinely home grown talent on the team in Judge? I might be wrong but that is far different than the Yankees teams in the past.

Love seeing a typical Yankees big ticket item implode in the playoffs

My final thoughts on last night: awesome

I grew up in RI went to countless Red Sox games, there was always Yankee fans in the stands, if you were watching on TV it was in SD so you probably didn't see them as well.
Just like here in DC their are folks who cheer for the Cowboys just to be the antagonist.
The atmosphere at Fenway has not changed i promise, if anything it has gotten better, in the 90s a lot of boring seasons. We even get free Sox tickets at my school at the end of the school year as a gift. It really didn't turn around until 2004 with the WS and the pink hat nation. I hate the pink hat nation fan more then a die hard yankee fan.

Maybe I am just nostalgic for college times IDK. I only remember seeing a handful here and a handful there. So I'll defer to your longer experience. A lot of heckling at the Cask and Flagon

Only thing worse than that is seeing a big ticket team implode in the regular season.
Am I right?

If the game was Red Sox vs. Bmore say 1997 it be:

80% Sox Fans
15% Yankees
5 % Os fans

Fenway attendance. The Yankee fans just come to be annoying.

The Cask and Flagon, meh, always to crowded and there is a alcohol shot ban after the 7th inning for all the bars in the area.

Also for everyone keep this in mind, the internet has made it so much easier for visiting fans to buy tickets now in all stadiums. The process is nearly instant and can be done from anywhere in the world. Back in the day you were not driving from NY in hopes of scoring a ticket for last nights game.

That Schwarber HR was ridiculous, most guys can't even foul that off let alone get around on it
