Is everything OK? If there's something you need to talk about, we're here for you, buddy.They'll choke like they've almost always done. Inferior city, inferior team, with an easy early season schedule.

Time to mention the 27 rings, you know that's coming as the season of despair continues.Three World Series wins in the last 14 years is not an "almost always" choke...just saying..

In his first 10 games in pinstripes, Stanton has batted .167. He has three home runs, two of them on opening day.
Oh, and he has struck out 20 times in 42 at-bats, including 16 times in the six-game homestand that concluded on Sunday with an 8-7 loss in 12 innings to the Baltimore Orioles.
Twice, he had at least five strikeouts in a game during the homestand, including Sunday’s game, in which he went 0 for 7.
Stanton could shatter the record by the All Star break if he can maintain his 7 k's per game pace. :sunglasses: Seriously though, he will probably hit 55 Hr's and have 230 k's.Is it too soon to start talking about the possibility of setting the Major League Record ? MLB record for strikeouts is 222, with 20 already he only needs 202 more K's over the last 152 games (1.3 K's/ game) to tie the record. Definitely within reach since his career K's per game is 1.12. Although if he keeps hitting like he has, he might not get enough AB's if the Yankees choose to bench him for extended periods. Another MLB record in reach is the combined K's by two batters on one team. I'm sure he and Judge will challenge that record. Hopefully the Sox can assist him in accumulating another nice chunk of K's toward reaching this ignominious goal !
Lol.......he has 270 homers and nearly 700 rbi at his young age. Ummmm....i think he will be fineIs it too soon to start talking about the possibility of setting the Major League Record ?

Think the cold, crappy weather has a lot to do with it. Someone among their three sluggers will come alive. Judge is actually batting close to .300 last time I checked, which is great. Need one or both of Sanchez and Stanton to break out of their slumps and they will be a murderer's row.I wish it werent true but more than likely, Stanton warms up and then heats up with the weather. Most likely ends with 275 ba and 40-50 HR 110+ RBI
Really - such class on this board... even if you hate their teams, it's still a fun city to visit.Is everything OK? If there's something you need to talk about, we're here for you, buddy.
You can say that the Red Sox and SF Giants are the Teams of This Century.Time to mention the 27 rings, you know that's coming as the season of despair continues.
An even better combination to have is 7 games against Tampa and 2 against the Marlins. Please.Now 8-1 to start the season.

Wounded and murphyless Nats. . . . but Mets fans will take it. Mets are really gutting out the wins, and except for a couple of games, playing small ball.An even better combination to have is 7 games against Tampa and 2 against the Marlins. Please.
Mets fans can rightly be proud of their 8-1 start, at least they can point to winning a series against the Cards and sweeping the Nats on the road.
Toddfather was a huge clubhouse pickup for them. Love that guy, wish the Yanks had never let him walk. New York Post had a nice piece about him and Cespedes. It's here if you haven't seen it already...Wounded and murphyless Nats. . . . but Mets fans will take it. Mets are really gutting out the wins, and except for a couple of games, playing small ball.
Love the energy Todd brings to the game. Reminds me a bit of David Wright in his prime. Thanks for the article.Toddfather was a huge clubhouse pickup for them.

Handpick stats much?
Three rings in 14 years (04', 07', 13') isn't that handpicked. If it is, I could have handpicked a few others too: Additional East Division titles in 16' and 17', and wild card berths in 03', 04', 05', 08' and 09'. It's not a terrible time to be a Red Sox fan.
Last 4 days have not been great, have they?Except that those 3 in 14 didn't erase eight plus decades of chokage and futility.
It's never a terrible time to be a Yanks fan.
You couldn't be more wrong. Those 3 championships takes away almost all of it. The only regrets for fans now are players like Williams, Yaz, Rice and others never won their ring. If you are a RU fan you will understand that hopefully one day.Except that those 3 in 14 didn't erase eight plus decades of chokage and futility.

NY Rangers fans know that feeling of relief from their cup win, Eagles fans got the weight off their backs this year. Winning cures everything !!!!
As a life long Redsox Fan 40+ years. Yep it does!Nope. They don't.

Another Mark Texiera.I wish it werent true but more than likely, Stanton warms up and then heats up with the weather. Most likely ends with 275 ba and 40-50 HR 110+ RBI
