Jessica Mendoza predicted the bottom of the 9th.

[Hamilton Samuels]

From the NYT: — As the Yankees trudged off the field in the wee hours of Monday morning, several of them took one last peek across what had become a bandbox of horrors, catching a sight of the Boston Red Sox mobbing Andrew Benintendi near first base.

It was his hit, a ground ball up the middle through a hole in the shifted defense, that delivered the final devastating blow to the Yankees in a weekend full of them. It brought home pinch-runner Tony Renda, whose headlong slide across the plate sealed a 5-4, 10th-inning comeback win that served as an exclamation point on a four-game sweep of the Yankees.

Instead of leaving the field with a modicum of momentum, and perhaps a sense that they were pulling out of an ill-timed funk, the Yankees dropped to nine and one-half games behind the Red Sox in the American League East. But they weren’t ready to admit that they had kissed their hopes of a division title goodbye.

“A tough way, obviously, to end a tough weekend,” Yankees Manager Aaron Boone said. “But we can’t let this define what’s been a great season for us.”

"Bandbox Of Horrors".

Truly.

FTR, Rizzo wad NEVER going to trade him.

Indeed, truth, Ut.

I said so at the time.  Media ran with it off some miniscule info.

Harper carrying this club to the playoffs is a nice story.  Hope he gets there.

[josh]

Uh oh.

The Yankees have trimmed the lead down to 9 and they still have two games in hand!

[kiidcarter8]

There is no baseball karma

Osuna gets W in first HOU appearance.

[Hamilton Samuels]

Uh oh.

The Yankees have trimmed the lead down to 9 and they still have two games in hand!

1978.

Beat me to it.

[bankshot1]

heh

'78 was a great season, and a great race, and has become the St. Jude of baseball seasons to some to pray to.

But it was more like a crucible preparing the soul for the real trying times like '86 and '03

fwiw I and most other sportsfans call upon Saint '04 when the night is at its darkest and the task at hand seemingly impossible

Reading too much into it, as usual.

My point is for the Bosox fan to stay humble, as great regular seasons often do not translate into championships.

Perhaps, then, I should have referenced 2011 Phillies, the 2015 Cardinals, the 2008 Angels, the 2004 Yankees, the 2003 Giants and the 2003 Braves, 2002 A's, 2001 Mariners, 1998 Astros, 1988 Mets, the 1976 and 1977 Phillies.

I hope you can grasp that which seemed to have escaped your comprehension before.

No one has ever won the World Series in August.

I think I read the intended purpose into "1978" accurately and and responded appropriately.

There was no boasting in my post, just a reflection upon the pain of races past.

and in Josh's post which gave an accurate update of the 2018 AL East race he did not claim the pennant. 

So your retort is one large false narrative.

As usual you come to provoke, and you end up as a bloodied fool.

And fwiw, 1964 probably remains the platinum standard of pennant collapses.

Likely before your time, though

No. You didn't.

You fucked up.

And now that you know the intent behind the original post, you try to save face.

You haven't won shit, yet, so calm down.

troll your use of "1978" was meant as troll, as thats all you do
you said nothing else but "1978"

it was as illuminating as red's typical "LOL" when he hasn't a clue, but feels he needs to respond

but its just the empty laugh of a trolling idiot, just like you, you dumb fuck troll

and I responded to your 1-word essay, in context of 1978 as a memorable season

and neither Josh or I clamed a pennant

learn to read you moron.

1964

and you know what the best thing about the Phillies historic choke in 1964?
 
If the Philles had won and not choked losing 10 in a row, and pissing away the pennant to the Cards, David Halberstam probably would never had the interest to do a follow-up classic to his 1949

now go fuck yourself

[bankshot1]

lotta late inning lightening in Toronto
