GAME #36, WEDNESDAY, MAY 9, 2018, BOSTON RED SOX AT NEW YORK YANKEES

[markj]

Wow, Carson Smith done good for once.

[markj]

Bases loaded and nothing to show for it.

[markj]

Oh boy, Meatball Matt comes in. Hold onto your hats.

[BoSoxFanNY]

Bases loaded and nothing to show for it.

DANG IT!

[markj]

Now Yanks have a man at 3rd. I'll be stunned if Barnes doesn't blow this lead.

[markj]

Throw a damn strike!!

[markj]

So now Cora has to bring Kimbrel in for 5 outs with men on base. This isn't going to end well.

[markj]

Kimbrel gives up a 2-run triple. No surprise there for anyone who has paid attention for the past two seasons. Apparently that doesn't include Cora. Sox down 7-6.

[markj]

And now a 2-run dinger to Judge. Game over.

[ipot]

They certainly picked a great time to choke. Big time. At least the old rivalry is back - I mean the pre-2004 one. When we just the NYY’s stumblebums.

[ipot]

Barnes to Kimbrel goes to the dogs. The ‘ol Porcello is back.

[BoSoxFanNY]

I FEEL sick.
Yankees 9 - Sox 6.

WTF happened to Kimbrel???

DAMN

[markj]

Was a close game until Meatball Matt came in. Oh well. Yanks in 1st place, Sox on their way down. Maybe they'll salvage something tomorrow.

[ipot]

And at 10:52pm EST on May 9th 2018 the Boston Red Sox ceded 1st place in the AL East to the New York Yankees, never to see it again for the rest of the season ::)

[markj]

Sox are 11-9 for their last 20. Closer to the .500 team they seem to be.
