Indians fought THE LAW and THE LAW won.THE YANKEES HAVE PULLED OFF THE UPSET OF ALL UPSETS!!!! NO ONE EXPECTED THEM TO WIN AND THEY DID IT!!!! STEPHEN A SMITH DECLARED VICTORY THIS MORNING AND THEY MADE IT HAPPEN!!! :woo :thelaw :woo @MrMister
I'm not even an Indians fan. But it's straight up foolish to sit there and blame one blown call on the outcome of the game. This isn't like 97 where the Marlins were able to knock out the Braves because the Umpires strike zone through out the whole series was completely fucked. You are sitting here complaining about one fucking call and are acting like it's the reason the Yankees lost. It's not. They lost because Cleveland was the better team that night. Get your head out of your ass and get over it.There's a chance the outcome would have been different. One strike left, if gotten, bases wouldn't have been loaded, no grand slam, no extra innings.
It's cute that all the Indians fans want to stick their heads up each other's asses in agreement, but, regardless, he wasn't hit, and that is two games in a row that Cleveland got away with shit, although Girardi is a fool for not challenging.
Either way, already knew that the Yankees would not have much of a chance to advance to the next round, we had a great season, just waiting to see which team to root for who play the Indians. Hoping the fans don't get to see them win for another year.

After rejecting trades to San Francisco and St. Louis, reigning NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton is reportedly heading to New York.
The Yankees and Marlins have reportedly agreed to a trade that will send Stanton to New York, according to Jon Heyman of Fanrag Sports. Full details of the trade are unknown, though the Marlins are expected to receive Starlin Castro and prospects. Neither club has confirmed the deal.
Stanton is three years into his massive 13-year, $325 million contract, which includes the full no-trade clause he used to block deals to the Giants and Cardinals. Both teams released statements Fridaysaying they had agreed to a trade with the Marlins, but were rejected by Stanton. The Dodgers were known to be Stanton's first choice, though the Yankees, Cubs, and Astroswere also on his approved list.
The Marlins have been looking to move Stanton, fresh off his 59 home run season, as a way to cut costs. The new ownership group fronted by Derek Jeter wants to get the team's debt under control and one of the easiest ways to do that is by trading the team's most expensive player. Once Stanton rejected the Giants and Cardinals, Miami lost leverage, and the Yankees pounced even though they already have a pretty great power-hitting right fielder in Aaron Judge.
For weeks the Yankee have made it clear they want to get under the $197 million luxury tax threshold in 2018, which would reset their tax rate -- they are currently taxed at the maximum 50 percent -- and save the club millions. That is still doable even while taking on Stanton's contract. The Yankees had about $32 million in payroll space available before the trade, plus the inclusion of Castro in the trade will offset some of Stanton's salary. It's possible the Marlins will eat some money as well.
An MVP joins a team one game away from the finals, you say? :kd3.OH MY FUCKING GODM I JUST WOKE UP. HOLY SHIIIIIIIIT
