Oh, and i love all of the new rules except the ghost runner in extra innings. Just changes strategy too much in my opinion. Totally unrelated to the fact that we are going to lose this game because of it.

Damn, I hate the Yankees! Just roll over and die for once. We had this game 3 times yet here we are. Bottom of the tenth. I thought the Yanks lost the game after that failed bunt attempt in the 7th. Then came Judge’s ninth inning homer 🙂

Believe it or not, I'm going to two O's games this weekend. Friday night's game and Monday's game. Invited to go to the games by friends and family. Probably won't wear my Yankees cap to Camden Yards this weekend.

My friend has 4 Legends Suite tickets for the 7/5 game in NY. I'll be sitting 4 rows behind home plate decked out in O's gear. Hope no one throws batteries at me but I'm guessing people sitting in that section aren't real fans anyway.

The bleachers are where you're more likely to see fights or have Yankee fans harass you lol.

Ok, an images of pickle contest has to start. The winner gets a gift certificate worth one free year of forum access. It even comes with one banning forgiveness.

He didn't pay for these seats thankfully. Been to Yankee stadium twice, the old and the new. In 2008 and 2015. There was an annoying guy taunting me in 2008 but we won that game. Bleachers in 2015 without incident but they were the LF bleachers. RF is where all the a-holes seem to sit. They shouldn't have torn down old Yankee Stadium. The new one lacks charm.

Even if they don't manage to win the series, last night's win was very important as it prevents the Yankees from gaining much ground and slows their momentum, which seemed to be at a crescendo after being down 4-0 and roaring back to win game 1 and leaping out to a 5-1 lead through 7 innings last night. Last night was some big boy baseball by the O's.

Yanks are good. Like always. Cheating scandals or not. And they're never dead in that stadium. I never exhale until the game is over.
I would appreciate it if they could go through another early 90's sucking stage, though. But nope. They've been good for the last 30 years.

Yanks have typically been able to supplement their FA signings with homegrown developed talent. Jeter, Riveria, Cano, Judge, etc. O's spent a bunch in late 90's and early 00's and had nothing to show for it. Padres spent a ton and currently have a losing record. Sometimes spending doesn't work out. I think it's voodoo magic the way anyone can put on a Yankee jersey and become good. At least for a stretch. Shane Spencer, Franchy Cordero, Starlin Castro, Didi Gregorius, Miguel Andjar, et al.

I don't see them winning another championship before they get a new manager and GM. Boone sucks and Cashman has been GM too long. But yeah, they can be competitive each year because they spend enough money. Good series Orioles!

Huge win and series win. Yankees really wanted this one and burned their bullpen trying to get it. O's did a good job of being mostly patient and making them throw strikes - though I agree with Boone about the ump, he was flat out awful.
Gets no easier this weekend with the Rangers coming to town.

Should have swept those bastards.
Still, a 5-1 road trip against AL East teams is nothing to whine about.

Definitely not. George's son doesn't seem as interested in the team or as committed to winning.
