The big fear was that if the Yankees mounted a rally tonight, Boston would bring in knuckleballer Stephen Wright, and everything would go south.
Not gonna happen.
The Redsocks today replaced Wright on their roster - (I didn't know they can do that) - with the imminently hittable Alan Embree. He's got a bum knee.
Big break. Huge. And we better exploit it. No excuses now.

Surely you mean Heath Hembree. Alan Embree hasn't played since 2009, with a wholly unmemorable stop with the Yanks in 2005.
A team can replace a player on their roster during a series if the player is injured.
Right now Andrew Miller is doing his Toonces impersonation in Houston.
Alan, Heath, an Embree's an Embree.
I had an Embree once, very painful until you get it lanced.
Nasty slimy things that are.
Tick tick tick...
Preying this is our night,,, tick tick indeed!!
ALL FUCKING RISE!!!!!
Holy shit.
That's a looooong home run.
I expect you to ALL RISE!!!
Flight crew, meal service.
I think Judge's wrist is okay.
Stanton didn't whiff. Wow.
Gardy!
Gardy. Nice job.
We scream for ICE CREAM!!!!!
Gary the Good
I'm a little hungry. Might grab an ice cream sandwich.
My favorite part of the game so far was Price's reaction when Judge crushed that ball.
Price has nothing. We need to get him early and get into the BP ASAP.
ICS, you're gonna have to have a MONSTER postseason before we will forgive your chubbsy ubbsyness!!!
40 pitches. Someone warm the shower for Price. JOE KELLY!
Price is such a sad sack in the postseason. Just amazing.
Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutch!!
So many reasons to like Cutch. AND PRICE IS OUT! JOE KELLY!
HR in any other park....but Price is gone!!!!
Priceless!
Lolololololololololololololololol!
OK boys, time to pound the pen.
NEED ... MORE ... RUNS!!!
Kelly!!!!!
OK. Shutdown inning for Tanaka now
Need the Professor to squash them.
Time for Tanaka to keep this under control. They've hit a couple hard, but no damage. Has to keep it that way. No shootout tonight, please.
Yes. We need a statement game from Tanaka. We also need breakout games from Torres and Andujar.
That was a great strikeout. Masterful, from a 3-0 count.
In the promo they just ran for Stanton, he actually MADE CONTACT with the ball on each of the swings they showed. What a novel concept.
Didn't have a lot of footage to choose from.
Still in the hospital. Pants not on head. Quietly charting. Maximum reverse jUjU.
Shocked. A hit.
My juju contribution tonight was to support Tanaka by having a bowl of ramen noodles for dinner (extra everything). No sake, though - fighting a chest cold.
He made contact !!!
Takes two down the middle, swings at an obvious ball, whiffs.
Alcohol is bad for a chest cold? I never noticed.
Kelly looks like an extra from "Silicon Valley."
Tanaka looks sharp.
If the national announcers say that "Sanchez was a little bit lazy", it's pretty much a given that we foaming-at-the-mouth Yankee fans have a pretty fucking strong point
Tanaka is being very deliberate, controlling the game and tempo
Yep. Relaxed, good location. Needs to keep this up.
Still, we
NEED ... MORE ... RUNS
NEED...MORE...RUNS YES
Love how redsock fans want every pitch that doesn't go over the screen called a strike.
I love when he goes long in an at bat. Just needs to cash in a little more often.
Kelly oddly good tonight. But he's done.
Gardner can continue to pull 20 pitches per at bat and he will continue to be a Yankee hero.
Oops.
3 runs isn't enough against the Red Sox on a normal night.
We will lose because we didn't manage to tack on more runs against Price.
or Kelly
Now he's being too careful and will run up his pitch count
Don't walk Nunez. Ugh.
We're going to be okay. Boone is consulting with Rothschild. (Cough)
OK OK GET SOME RUNS!!!
Nice comeback.
Tanaka simply wasn't fooling Nunez with the low sinker. But he didn't give in, and gave u the walk. Then he immediately adjusted and threw a couple higher for Kinsler before nailing him with that same sinker-slider barely off the ground. Not a bad clinic.
I am approaching the compound. As soon as I arrive in the safe room, I will check out the console, analyze the data, and decide whether or not to have the drone operator take them out. Oops! Wrong message board. Sorry about that. Just ignore it. I was in Brooklyn taking photographs and now I’m walking the dog. Soon I will be checking out the game and might deliver some pithy and meaningless commentary. Then again, I might not. I might just sit there with my soup spoon in one hand, drooling serial from the front of my mouth onto my keyboard and cursing the fates.
Should they win this series it will be due to the efforts of David Price and Nunez.
Let's cash in on the break!
Siri really sucks. You all know that I meant cold cereal, right?
When Nunez made that stop at third, I though, "geeze, he never played third like that for us." Then he threw it away and I thought, "that's the Nunez I remember."
This is a definite "make contact put the ball in play" situation for Stanton.
Exactly.
If you eat cereal at every meal that would be serial cereal, right?
They have to have a conference for Swiffer? Wow.
Screw Stanton
They did.
AAArrrggghhh!
Geez. Stanton is pre-2009 playoff ARod.
You see Giancarlo, the bat and ball need to touch each other more frequently than that.
Stanton is the 2018 version of 2003 Soriano. Utterly hopeless.
Ice Cream creamed.
See shit like that gets a team going. What is in that head of his? Oh yeah, ice cream.
The game is now completely on Tanaka’s & the bullpen’s shoulders. Outside of Judge, no one in the lineup looks like he has a clue.
Gardner another nice catch. Good jump.
Nicely done Professor. Nicely done.
I was at 2009 ALCS Game 2. There is time yet to save Tiny Tim.
TWW ... I was at 2009 ALCS Game 6. Now THAT was a fun postseason.
Ok, remember the object of the game. When you get baserunners, they need to SCORE.
LBJ hit it on the nose - the kids have to get on. They've been a large part of the season so far. Good to see them on base. Get 'em in!
Gardy blew that AB. 3-0 and can't walk.
This team is redefining choking with every at bat.
Goddammit.
Every inning is Groundhog Day inning
Judge may not see another pitch near the strike zone the rest of the series. Why pitch to him?
Judge has been both good AND lucky tonight
2 men on, no one out. Inning over.
Stanton will make contact. I hope.
Hit. The. Damn. Ball.
Lolololololololololololololololol!!!
Nunie!!
Loaded for Ice Cream.
Good things happen when you make contact, even when it doesn't go in the seats.
Wtf????
There's some bullshit right there.
That's fucking insane.
BULLSHIT!
Blatant
C'mon ICS
Fuck you, assholes!!!!
OK OK OK! Finally a gamebreaker
ICED
I'm having some ICE CREAM!!!
ICE ICE BABY!!!!!
You get an ice cream sandwich! YOU get an ice cream sandwich! EVERYONE GETS AN ICE CREAM SANDWICH!
I just had an ice cream sandwich! Mint Chocolate chip!
And the morons chant Yankees suck. Think how bad the Sox are if we suck and are beating them 6-1.
take that, beaners!
And that replay shit was shit.
That was fucking huge. If we'd gone through another inning with runners on base and come away empty, the socks fans would be fired up and they'd have momentum over the last few innings. That was a big, big home run, boys.
Good to see ICS get hot, and right now.
ABsolutely BBB!!!!
Preach BBB
479 feet home run
Holy fuck did he rip that one.
The big difference tonight is Spike Lee in the house
Is Spike in neon orange and blue,LOL????
Maybe take out Dellin before it's 6-4...
If Sachez doesn't blast that and the Yankees don't score, then it would be full-bore panic mode now.
Just get out of this inning, things will still be cool.
Minimal damage
Whew.
I can't hear Jackie Bradley Jr.'s name without thinking of Martin Short in a blonde wig on SCTV.
Here's a hot take. I hate Boston.
Good chance we’ll see Flop sweat pitch...
Damur, I'm shocked... shocked to hear such a thing.
Gardy walks, which he should've done last AB.
Britton has some weird mannerism when he looks for the sign. It's an epidemic, I guess.
Tiny Tim sees a specialist, gets a new set of crutches and an ice cream sandwich!!
That was a bit late, but I just got home.
God bless us every one.
Britton walks a guy. Yank him.
I want Britton to strike out the side, I really do.
All right! One More Inning!
Very nifty that Didi!
ballsacks on fire
remind me all to tell you my story about an STD scare in Alamogordo, NM back in the 90s.
Brian Anderson just went Clyde on us...
Hahaha lol ICS can't find his helmet!
I'd love to know who hid it on him
Remind me to tell you about the time I did a pelvic exam on a 350 pound woman with bacterial vaginitis.
Embree doesn’t want to throw a strike...
Winnie, I think I'll forget to ask about that, thanks.
Bench Stanton. Please. Say he’s injured and put him on the injured list. . Just, please, make him go away.
Agreed.
Strap it in - this could be bumpy...
Unsustainable, I could not agree more. Stanton makes A-Rod's 1-for-27 playoff showing look Ruthian by comparison.
Crossed fingers, toes, eyes, nads.
Oh God.
Stanton is a stiff. There is no joy in the man when he plays. Everything about his demeanor speaks to a man who cannot have fun
Don't think. Just throw.
this is exactly what i did not want to see.
Here we go. First walk.
I'm just trying to absorb it all here.
He must be on a short leash
K.
99. Good sign
Yes!
6-4-3! See ya!
WHEW!!
WHOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NICE! We go home in good shape! We won the game we needed
See ya, Beaners.
BOSTON SUCKS MY ASS!!! I TWERK UPON THEIR FACES!!! AaaHaahahahahaaaaaHHHHaaaahhhhh!!
AAaAhhaaaa-haha-haaa-hhhhhHHHaaaaaaa-HHHHHaaaaAAHHHHHHHHHHHaaaa-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaaaAaAaHaHaHaaHaHAA-HAAAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa !!!!!
Now we need both at home. Two days to wait. Argh!

See, Winnie, my story might *sound* like it was going to be gross, but it really wasn't. YOUR story, on the other hand, not only sounds gross from the get-go, but it seems impossibly for it to not be unspeakably horrifying in every way. And bear in mind that I do not possess a cool, detached clinical perspective.
Still, we might have to trade stories at some future mid-game interlude, although I'm not sure I can handle yours.
It was, as you say, unspakeably gross.
Aaron Judge, please explain to Sancho that the Yankees are a class act. No microphone drop bat toss. Act like you have homered before.
After his year, he can do whatever he wants if he hits one 479 feet. Hasn't had much fun this season, what the hell.
Don't be scold. Let them enjoy themselves. Especially after the Red Sux pitchers jawed at him over stepping out of the box.
Must respectfully disagree. Yankee greats are most poised in crucial games. Jeter never hotdogged. Gotta earn the pinstripes.
BROTHERS....
WE JUST PUT OURSELVES IN THE DRIVERS SEAT IN THIS SERIES.
BUT, WE CAN'T BE HAPPY WITH OURSELVES.
THERE IS MUCH WORK TO DO.
CAPS NOTES:
STANTON MUST BE MOVED DOWN IN THE ORDER, BECAUSE HE'S KILLING US IN THE CLEANUP SPOT.
TANAKA CAME UP HUGE AS HE USUALLY DOES IN THE BIG GAME, (AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT).
MUST ADMIT, I LIKE BOONE'S HANDLING OF THE PEN.
DELLIN IS DEALIN'.
SANCHEZ IS CATCHING CLEAN GAMES (DEFENSIVELY) FOR 9 INNINGS. (WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM DURING THE REGULAR SEASON)?
IF WE CAN GET ANDUJAR AND TORRES GOING AGAIN, THIS COULD BE A SPECIAL SEASON.
CAN WE PLEASE GET MORE THAN 0 OR 1 CLUTCH HIT A GAME?
GONNA ENJOY THE REST TOMORROW.
LETS BURN THEM IN THE BRONX.
Looking at the Boston fans at the end of the game, I got the feeling they were thinking this was the last game in Fenway they'd see this year.
Be here now. No hubris. Just focus on the moment.
Anon, I seem to recall a young right fielder named Paul O'Neill being far from poised.
I really want the world to know about this great man who brought back happiness into my life again after my husband left me and the kids 3 years ago for another women online when i contacted Dr Believe he cast a love spell for me within 48 hours my ex husband start calling me and begging for forgiveness for everything that have happened between us.
