Red Sox beat Yankees, advance to ALCS

There was no debating the better team all year, and there was no debating the better team in this series.

And yet it was the Sox who looked like juggernauts by the time the American League Division Series was over at Yankee Stadium late Tuesday night.

Rick Porcello earned his first win in a playoff start, Christian Vazquez hit his first home run since June 26 and Chris Sale pitched out of relief in a bizarro Game 4 win, 4-3, that secured the Red Sox’ first playoff series win since 2013.

Don’t care about BoSox but beating the Yankees is always good. No matter who does it.

Yep, the vulture almost got knocked off his perch. Good thing he finally decided to throw some fast balls so he could find the plate.

I thought that I’d have a stroke during the bottom of the ninth.

It was a lot closer than it should have been.

Years ago my son and family were in LA waiting to board a plane-——my Grandson,then about 7,had a Red Sox hat on and some teenager,a Yankee fan,actually started insulting him.

The family just relocated elsewhere because they also had a toddler with them and wanted to avoid a scene.

I could not believe it.
