Like I get if you bring him out and he walks McCann or McCann drives the ball hard for extra bases you take him out, but jeez, trust your ace, particularly pitching on a shut out.

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-06-2015 10:51 PM

Hate the Yanks, respect the fuck out of Delan Betances and wish he was on the Jays.

Thats it Yankees fans. Boo them. This team was supposed to finish in the bottom half of the division. They're facing one of the best pitchers in the league. Its still a save situation. But please go ahead and boo.

I feel like the Orioles helped out by sweeping the Yankees this past weekend.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-06-2015 11:09 PM

If that was true they'd be playing in Houston.

They were supposed to suck this year. Yankees fans should be happy with what this team of old creakys player have done this year.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-06-2015 11:12 PM

Would CC have pitched if he didn't enter rehab?

Droford 10-06-2015 11:14 PM

Thhhhhhhèeeeeeeeeeee Yankkeeeees....looooooooose

Astros vs Cubs World Series so the Astros can lose the world series to both Chicago teams 10 years apart

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-06-2015 11:15 PM

Yankees pretty much laid down for the Astros. Great stuff.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-06-2015 11:16 PM

Is Girardi in trouble? Technically they made the playoffs but not really.

<font color=goldenrod>Probably not. Expectations were low to begin with this season, most had them hovering right around .500</font>

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-06-2015 11:25 PM

I think they proved down the stretch that they weren't too hot of a team and no where near being a competitor.

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-06-2015 11:26 PM

Which would be why the Red Sox and Jays towards the end of the season had their way with them. I mean... there were tight games and whatnot, but the Yanks couldn't get it done when it counted.

Emperor Smeat 10-06-2015 11:34 PM

Had the Angels gotten hot sooner, Yankees likely don't make the playoffs. They started to really struggle once the Jays started their mega rise but the cushion they had built when the rest of the AL East was terrible was just enough to let them sweak in.

Evil Vito 10-06-2015 11:46 PM

<font color=goldenrod>Forgot to do a final review of my preseason predictions:

NL East: WAS, NYM (WC2), MIA, ATL, PHI
NL Central: STL, PIT (WC1), CHC, CIN, MIL
NL West: LAD, SD, SF, COL, ARI

MVP: Harper
CY: Kershaw
ROTY: Bryant
CPOTY: Harvey
MOTY: Maddon

Pretty excellent for the most part. 4 of 5 playoff teams and I remember trying to decide between the Mets and Cubs for the 2nd WC, turns out both made it. A couple small things like not forecasting the Padres being awful but still pretty close. And for the awards all 5 are legit candidates and with the exception of the CY (voters will give it to Arrieta), the other 4 may well end up winning.

AL East: TOR, BOS (WC2), BAL, NYY, TB
AL Central: DET, CHW, CLE, KC, MIN
AL West: LAA, SEA (WC1), OAK, HOU, TEX

MVP: Trout
CY: Price
ROTY: Norris
CPOTY: Machado
MOTY: McClendon

Oh dear god LOL me. I'm glad to have gotten the Toronto prediction right but at the expense of literally everything else. For some reason I saw KC crashing back down to earth and couldn't have been more wrong. Just so many things wrong across the board.

Trout and Price should be no worse than runner up for their awards. Machado was a total guess as I never know who will be eligible for CPOTY. Norris should be really good going forward but didn't do enough to win ROTY, besides it's clearly Correa's award. LOL McClendon.

Oh and my projected WS champion (Dodgers) are still alive but I hope they don't win for obvious reasons. And my projected AL champions (Angels) didn't even make the playoffs.</font>

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-06-2015 11:52 PM

Biggest concern for the Jays is I think Osuna is going to get lit up like a christmas tree. Not because of his 3 blown saves this season because he's mostly looked quite good, but because he's 20-years-old and he's going to be playing against the big boys in big boy situations. Still think he has a good future, and he's near unhittable when he keeps his fastball low and on the corners.

Evil Vito 10-06-2015 11:55 PM

<font color=goldenrod>At least the Mets postseason gear I bought was to commemorate their first division title in 9 years. To think some people actually dropped $28 on this for that type of performance in a one-game playoff:</font>

RaginRonic 10-07-2015 04:21 AM

With the New York Yankees now out of the 2015 MLB Playoffs, the only team left, from the AL East, in the playoffs is...Canada's Toronto Blue Jays.

Never saw that coming, honestly.

O.o

Bad News Gertner 10-07-2015 07:11 AM

Lol oh how sweet it is. Fuck you New York.

Evil Vito 10-07-2015 08:26 AM

<font color=goldenrod>There's nothing that makes 29 fanbases come together as one quite like the feeling of rejoice that occurs on the day the Yankees get eliminated from the playoffs.</font>

You owe 232 million to Hanley Ramirez, Fat Panda, and Porcello.

Damian Rey: whats your prediction for tonight's NLWC game?

Evil Vito 10-07-2015 11:35 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Years since last World Series title for remaining playoff teams:

Cardinals: 4
Blue Jays: 22
Dodgers: 27
Mets: 29
Royals: 30
Pirates: 36
Astros: 53 (never won)
Rangers: 54 (never won)
Cubs: 107

jesus.........looking at it that way I really can't see how anybody outside of St. Louis could possibly want to see the Cardinals win another one</font>

owenbrown 10-07-2015 01:23 PM

Anybody but the Cardinals

Think it's gonna be tight one. The pitching matchup might objectively be one of the greatest wild card matchups ever. I like the Cubs' lineup better. I like Maddon as an in game manager over Hurdle.

I'm betting on Chi town but it's a really a toss up.

Ol Dirty Dastard 10-07-2015 06:06 PM

Considering the cards, Pirates and Cubs have the 3 best records in the National League, it kind of blows that the Cubs and Pirates have to knock one or the other off in the Wild Card game. Nature of the beast I know, but it's still whack as fuck.

Damian Rey 10-07-2015 06:19 PM

I've always liked the idea of just taking the best records, with the bottom two getting to play the play in game, regardless of division.

SlickyTrickyDamon 10-07-2015 06:29 PM

Cards deserve the ring they won the most games in the season.

Winning your division has to mean something.
