Sure, the main story from the Yankees’ 6–2 loss to the Red Sox in last night’s wild-card game was Gerrit Cole’s abysmal performance, but many people had a lot to say about Fenway Park’s iconic Green Monster.
The high green wall kept a pair of Giancarlo Stanton shots in the ballpark during the first and sixth innings.
Some Yankees fans were mad that the Green Monster existed, while others used the close-but-no-cigar outcome to mock Stanton and the Evil Empire.
That Stanton solo home run in the top of the ninth referenced in the tweet above was significant for many because the over/under on the game was eight.
