[quote="oldschool Redmen" post=297423][quote="SJU85" post=297411][quote="Delaware" post=297399]Have no faith in CC tonight, and I expect Porcello to come up big for the Red Sux tonight. Series over.[/quote]
I have more faith in CC than I had Severino last night. I actually wanted CC in game 3 and Severino in game 4.[/quote]
You can't trust CC tonight, you never know what you'll get from him.
I'd start Happ, minus Friday, he always pitched good vs Boston, and what did he throw, 40-45?
I'd go with him tonight, but retard has to go with cc, F BOONE. Really getting to hate this asshole.
Tanaka would go Thursday on a full 4 days rest.
Boone is a real freaking genius though, lets see how pitching CC turns out.
Lastly, remember Boston celebrated a few weeks ago on our turf, tonight would give them the ultimate joy to celebrate on yankee stadium turf twice in one year, they then could claim the Yankee stadiu is second home.
That would be the ultimate slap to every die hard Yankee fan.
Tonight we'll find out if this team has any heart, dignity, and self respect, or will they just lay down quietly tonight.
If Boston celebrates here tonight, I'll lose all respect for them, and I promise I won't watch them next year.
Wear that jersey with some f'ing pride, or get off the team.[/quote]
I can see your point about Happ and he has been very good bu so hast CC who has been their most consistent pitcher most of the year (more so than Severino who had a stellar first half and a "meh" second half. I say most because Happ migh have been more consistent since the trade in July). Sabathia for the most part guts out five or six innings and if he is really on, a lot of soft contact. .
You can and should blame Boone for some very, very, very, very bad decisions last night. As for the starting rotation for the playoffs, he did not make that decision alone, it was an organizational one and done by consensus. That is why a lot of these teams wait to name who is starting (unless they have a clear ace like Verlander) and say they have to go back and review things and discuss.
Losing tonight and having them celebrate for a second time on our field would more than just suck. However, if they do lose, it does not mean they don't have heart and pride. If they just mail it in, you might have a point but I am not expecting (or I am hoping) they don't just mail it in.
Lastly, did you stop watching them after the most historic, embarrassing, collapse, choke job in baseball, the 2004 LCS? Now talk about mailing a game in (Game 7).
