I used to, but not so much anymore. I do have a 27 World Series Championship hat that I never wear.

Home. It's cheaper and I don't have to drive.

Home if alone.

Out if with friends.

Personally, I would never consider buying any playoff gear for a team unless it was WS Champs branded.

Only exception is if I went to a game and wanted to remember the night.

I don’t go to the bars in Mississippi I prefer to watch at home. But when I lived in New York I liked going to the bars. There was one bar that was my good luck where the Yankees and Rangers usually won when I went there. My wife went to the casino with my mother in 1993/94 on the night of game 7 of the Stanley Cup. I went to my old stomping ground the Swiss Chalet and the Rangers won. Thank goodness I wasn’t driving that night because my wife said I was passed out on the bedroom floor, well I almost made it to the bed.

Yes it gets monotonous after a while. I have Yankees hats that I still haven’t worn from playoffs past.

What was great when I lived on Staten Island is there was public transportation and all the people were rooting for the New York teams. Mississippi I would have to drive and the fan base would be split so that is out of the question.

Same when I lived in New York now it’s strictly home.

Especially for the Yankees but if it were a franchise that was hardly in the postseason I could see it. But my wife always buys them for me as either anniversary gifts or Christmas presents.

[spuds1961]

Glad the Mets are the early game today as me and my wife have some errands to run when she gets off of work.

[fulltritty]

This isn't encouraging.

Yankees to replace injured Ian Hamilton with Mark Leiter Jr.

[fulltritty]

Well, Weaver's implosion saved me from purchasing any Topps Now cards from yesterday's game.

[fulltritty]

Rizzo and Wells are back in the lineup tonight. Boone must read the thread here as Chisholm is hitting 4th with Stanton behind him. Wells is 8th.

[fulltritty]

Torres leads off with a single.

[fulltritty]

Soto home run to score Torres and the Yankees take the 2 - 0 early lead.

[fulltritty]

And the next 3 batters all produce outs.

[fulltritty]

Now we get to see how the long layoff affects Gil.

[fulltritty]

Gil does what he does best. Give up a walk.

[fulltritty]

No pitching in this one. Double to make it 2nd and 3rd no outs.

[fulltritty]

Ramirez with the sacrifice fly to score a run.

Now 2 - 1.

[fulltritty]

Gil with the big K of Thomas to end the inning.

2 - 1 Yankees after 1.

[spuds1961]

Geez just got home from errands and already missed 3 runs. Going to be another nailbiter.

[spuds1961]

Alright still ahead after 1
