Obviously, I assumed that the Yankees would lose this series, but that estimation was based on the Yankees losing the first two games. Now that they’ve made it to Game 3, I still assume they’ll blow it (especially since their bullpen is pretty tired, meaning that we will likely see Luke Weaver and Camilo Doval in this game, plus a very tired Fernando Cruz, Devin Williams, and David Bednar), but it’s definitely a weird situation now, as both teams are using untested rookies, and, well, when the fuck have you seen THAT happen before?! It’s a 24 year old against a 23 year in a fucking elimination game! Crazy times. I still have to assume the Red Sox will kick Schlittler’s ass, and that Early will dominate the Yankees, but who the fuck knows?
One thing I DO know is that I put up a lineup I would use, and Boone is using it exactly, so I guess I’m just a moron. Too bad for me.
How late will it be until the Yankees get Early?
Brian, they say God doesn’t test us in ways we can’t overcome. We’re with you, brother!
