I can't speak for ANYONE else, but the Yankees are the ONLY team in baseball I specifically watch to lose!

I get the same feeling when they lose, that others experience during delights.

How many times have the Indians lost 3 games in a row this year?

[JustATroutFan]

If Tanaka opts out, I would not be surprise if he gets an underserving big contract based off of that one fluke start in game 3 this ALDS. Blind squirrel found a nut.

They said earlier before the game started, but I don't remember what the amount was?

Anyone interested in Sabathia who would’ve be our Ace this season.

Nice to see you back, @Calzone. That is how bad and unlucky the Angels starting rotation was this year.

Just taking a quick glance at the schedule and results from Baseball Reference, I counted five times this season they lost three in a row, and one time they lost four straight.

Did Didi juice up in 2017?   Never, eeever hit HRs like he has in 2017!

Jose Ramirez....you CHOKED!!!!  .105 BA so far 

Carl Edwards Jr. pitches like a junior, a HS junior!  

And you, Wade Davis!!!!   Micheal Taylor????  Really? Really? Really?

[m0nkey]

Well in judge's defense, the 4th strikeout shouldve been a walk.  Horrible call

[fan_since79]

Judge has now struck out 16 times in 19 at-bats?!

Do I have that correct?

If the Yankees do hang on and win, it will be a big upset in my opinion. This was the one series I thought was a total lock. I picked the Indians and so far, it looks like I will be wrong.

anyone else see Madson come into the game for the Nats.......

first off - I am sort of ticked just to see him pitching and then for the Nats in the PLAYOFFS......

but Madson picked up (I could say true to form for us -- but actually, I think he only threw maybe one warm up pitch in spring training for the Halos the entire two years and however many millions of dollars he was with the Halos) and did a highwire act worthy of Fernando Rodney......

did anyone else notice on the TBS telecast that the PBP guy - Matt V. -- ran through a list of Madson's former teams (after his success as a middle relief guy in Philly) and mentioned Cincinnati, Kansas City, Oakland and now Washington with ZERO mention of the Angels -- that's because his career stats show two years with the Halos with exactly ZERO innings pitch (that ZERO figure is approximate, felt more like MINUS ZERO).  Anyway -- no mention of the Halos in the listing of teams.

Meanwhile , watching Cleveland/ Yankees series -- and Indians pitching coach is Mickey Callaway -- another Halos has been from the past now apparently doing better as a coach then he ever did on the mound.........

 

 

[disarcina]

Indians not done until the last out.

if they lose this -- it is a big upset..........Indians seemed invincible.

needed to put New York away in game three or four......

 

[Troll Daddy]

Chapman has been a giant thorn in Francona’s ass 

[disarcina]

Chapman is going to become the this era's designated playoff rental...........

[disarcina]

time for LA Kings hockey............
