The time has come ladies and gentleman to say hello to the
Boston Red Sox one last time and the time has also come to hold the door open
for them as they leave just long enough to slam it in their faces and watch
them break their noses. Too far? Yeah, I’m kind of becoming known for that. I
joke of course but tonight’s game is no joke as the New York Yankees send lefty
CC Sabathia to the mound to square off with a fellow lefty in Henry Owens for
the Red Sox.
Sabathia will make his final start of the season tonight and
it comes on the heels of pitching an absolute gem last time out against the
Blue Jays. Sabathia has pitched extremely well as of late and has seemed to get
better and stronger as the season has gone on but he has little to show for it
after four straight no-decisions. The Yankees offense has gone to sleep so
here’s to hoping the alarm clock goes off sometime before 7:00 pm tonight in
the Bronx.
Owens will make the start for the Red Sox tonight instead of
Drew Pomeranz after Pomeranz complained of some left forearm soreness. AJ
Preller is somewhere hiding his face. Owens was a September call up for the Red
Sox and will make his first start for the club since August 21st of
2016. Owens was 10-7 with a 3.53 ERA in Triple-A at the time of his call up. Oh
and by the way, in case you missed it, tonight is David Ortiz’s final start in
the Bronx so… no pressure.
The game will be played at 7:05 pm ET inside Yankee Stadium
and can be seen on the YES Network and MLB TV. All eyes on Michael Kay and the crew
over at NESN tonight for David’s final game in the Bronx as, at the time of
this writing anyway, no major sports broadcast will have the game. Oh well,
they picked up Derek Jeter’s final game in the Bronx. I’m just saying. Go
Yankees!
