Game 2 was packed with no less tension, elation, anxiety, relief, and terror as Tuesday's opener. Boston manager Alex Cora stayed with starter Brayan Bello for only 28 pitches and ended up using six bullpen arms. The Yankees slipped home a run against Garrett Whitlock in the eighth and ...

That explosive hustle (which Sogard had shown back in the third when he tagged and took second on a fly to center) put Boston runners at second and third, with one out.

So if you want to know what we guessed in wins it's here . I had them at 71. The group leaned into a bit higher but the winner in the clubhouse would be Matt with "high 60s" Not quite! We all lose by Price is Right rules. We'll spend the week going over the season (promise!) but the general tone of it was one of disappointment and now a bit of concern. The team is in the midst of a rebuild but also starting over with a new GM and new manager and that could easily ...

ok yes everything but nothing has gone right for this squad since early June. At one point they were 30-33, then went on a 20-53 stretch. The last 5-1 brings it up to 25-54 which is just over a 50 win pace for a season. Yikes. You can't blame the firings - Davey and Rizzo were gone in the middle of this. You can't blame the trade deadline. Yeah it made the team weaker but they aren't losing squeakers because of a weakened pen. Here are some 2nd half splits B...

Fire Davey. The man can't help but blame the players and I don't want that type of guy leading this team. Maybe a veteran team can ignore him or maybe he wouldn't dare anger those guys, but this isn't a veteran team. It's a team of kids and they need someone to support and shield them. There are numerous reasons to fire the guy. His behavior this weekend pushes that all aside to get to number 1. Even if you landed on "well he won the series and changing the manage...
