Any other baseball fans excited for tonight? I find it fascinating we are looking at a tie for the final wild card game, forcing a game 163. Think how much statistical mass there is to get to this point and a extra game, in a must win, is needed to clinch a wild card.

Cole vs Eovaldi isn’t as sexy as Cole vs Sale but here we are. Really wish Blue Jays were still in contention. Being a Orioles fan I can’t stand Boston or NY but find myself rooting against the Yankees tonight. [bleep] em.

As a lifelong Sox fan, I am expecting their management FUX it up and the Bombers win. I hope I am wrong.

Been a Yankee fan since 1961 when Maris and Mantle were chasing Ruths record. But don’t watch much baseball on tv anymore. Hope the Bronx bombers win, but won’t lose sleep on it.

Depends what “Yankee” team shows up. They have been very inconsistent all season.

I am very much looking forward to the disappointment the Sox have caused me over the years.

Go Sox!

Where on the coast are you, Kevin?

If you look at the season series between them, the BoSox dominated the NYYs during the first half of the season, going 6W-0L before the MLB All-Star break and 4W-9L after, including 0W-6L in August and September. The NYYs have the momentum and will probably win, but the winning team will just go on to be beaten by Tampa. The BoSox are a team made up mostly with other teams' unwanted players, particularly the relief pitchers, so they have probably over-achieved. Head to head the BoSox won 10 games and scored 75 runs, while the NYYs won 9 games and scored 74 runs, can't get much more even than that. Inshallah.

On paper, the Blue Jays were better than either the BoSox or the NYYs, but that's why they play the games and why the Blue Jays are on the outside looking in.

I hope Yaz hits some homers.

Michael might when the Giants play the NL wildcard winner.

It should be a great game.

A historical rivalry.

Lifelong Yankees fan here and I couldn't agree more.
I hope we're in for a good house cleaning this winter.

As a lifelong Cardinal fan I have a distinct hatred for both teams.

Is there any way they both could lose?

Halfway between Bar Harbor and Rockland

I have to believe Sale will be available if schit goes sideways for the Red Sox?

It’s the wild card game, not game 163. They are the two wild card teams. Go Yanks

Fug the Skankees, go Sox!!!

I hope so to. I will be near Tampa this spring and thinking about tickets for spring training. Here now and maybe see the Rays postseason.

This game will probably get the highest TV ratings for the rest of the playoffs....
Best rivalry in sports..

NL...the last real baseball...bunts, pinch hitting, deep relief pitcher stables... WTF!?!?!? Gone.

Baseball will end next season with the DH in both leagues. Easily 1/2 of baseball strategy will vanish with the advent of the DH.

Baseball is getting as pussified as the NFL. I've been a Giants fan since they moved west in 1958 and hope they win the WS this last year of real baseball. Next season...pfffttt...

I don't think Sale or JD Martinez are on the roster for this game.

Wow, this is going to be the only chance I have this year to see the Yankees and Red Sox on TV. Need some beer.

homerun soxs

Yep Sox up 2-0

Another Soxs homer.

If you go to a Spring training game try to get tickets in the Third Base Club. They cost a little more but all the food & drinks you want are included in the price. Get there early.

163 games? This is why I quit watching mlb eons ago. Make it meaningful.

Without Stanton and Judge, the Yankees are very beatable. Next time Stanton comes up walk him and make Gallo beat you.

4-1 Sox up in the 7th, I’m a Dodger fan. But this game could have be good in the end.

6-1 Sox, in the eighth.

Sox win 6 - 2 and now have a date with Tampa, in Tampa, on Thursday.
