Yankee fans got a special treat yesterday...

No, I'm not talking about the doubleheader sweep of the BoSux...
Bob Costas was in the broadcast booth for both games!

How true. I loved Paul O'Neil as a ball player....................in the booth.......shut your mouth.
This guy starts a conversation just as the pitcher is getting ready to deliver.......................many times. I have turn off the sound at times. Ken Singleton, he does it right.

2018 WS Ring.png

According to Jostens, which worked with the Red Sox to make and design the rings, each ring has 185 total stones. That’s not by mistake, either, as 185 is the sum of regular-season games (162), postseason games (14) and Red Sox world titles (nine). The 14-karat gold rings feature 14 princess-cut diamonds and 21 custom-cut genuine rubies as well as 22 custom-cut blue sapphires.



The rings also include a ridiculous 128 diamonds in two rows across the top of the ring, one diamond for each of the team’s regular-season and postseason wins, plus nine for the ninth title in franchise history. There are also intricate designs on the side with 100 bricks to celebrate the centennial of the 1918 World Series championship.



Oh, and the inside of the rings looks pretty cool, too.

Nathan Eovaldi says Alex Cora’s phone calls played a role in his re-signing

"I wanted to come back and experience that again, hopefully, be a part of it this year and win another World Series."

The Red Sox are World Series Champions Again and troll their N.Y. rivals.


Winning the World Series always comes with a blowout celebration, that's no surprise.

But this year, the Red Sox added something to the usual champagne shenanigans --

they played Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" in the clubhouse after their final win.

This was a callback to a moment from the ALDS: After the Yankees' one and only victory against the Sox

Aaron Judge played "New York, New York" at Fenway Park.

Did this doom the Yankees forever? Could this be the beginning of their own 86 year "Curse"?

Dammit... I picked the BoSux in the office pool. :clown:

Hey Spanky, nice to hear from you. You can't imagine how much I wished you were here this season. Especially when we swept you 4 straight and increased the division lead to 9.5 games... (but I digress)
Why would you, of all people, ever pick MLB's best team to beat your, very distant second place team?
Anyway, I believe in all playoff series, game #3 is pivotal. Whoever gets a 3 run lead first, should win the game...
