Am I the Willson Contreras whisperer<\/a>? Many are saying it\u2019s true. Due to a bug\/feature in the schedule I haven\u2019t have a game recap since mid-May, when the headline was \u201cWhere there\u2019s a Willson, there\u2019s a way, son.\u201d Deja vu? Contreras led the way again tonight, in swatting Yankees pitchers:<\/p>\n

And coolers of delicious, cold crisp liquids on a balmy Big Apple nite:<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, Andruw Monasterio<\/a> hit his first donger of the year<\/a> which helped the Sox pull one out behind Sonny Gray<\/a>, who worked into the 7th and gave up two solo homers and a double but got the W once Aroldis Chapman<\/a> closed the door on the two-on, one-out situation into which he was put by Aroldis Chapman. I will admit it was tough to follow the game while watching Thor: Ragnarok but it was made easier by the fact I\u2019ve seen it a million times but I promised my son (almost 9) that we\u2019d watch tonight and I forgot I had traded for the game because of Patriots Day until I was reminded like three hours before. Rules are rules.<\/p>\n

But a note about the Yankees from down in enemy territory. It\u2019s sorta obvious the Knicks have subsumed them right now, especially with Aaron Judge<\/a>\u2019s injury, but they\u2019re the one team that always had the power to do so. As much as Yankees fans are a majority bloc here, there are more Mets<\/a> fans here than there are of hometown fans in most league cities. But the Knicks are the only game in town (the Nets are a fake idea that helps Barclays Center charge mortgages for 19.2-oz cans of Brooklyn Lager). Is it worth it? I\u2019m not a Celtics crazy by any means, so the answer is a plain yes. This is fun. The Yankees cannot be fun by definition. You might say we won this one before the game even began. Thanks to Willson, we did it afterward too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Am I the Willson Contreras whisperer? Many are saying it\u2019s true.
