Alex Cora’s Halloween Instagram will infuriate Yankees fans

Alex Cora’s Halloween Instagram post will make Yankees fans furious that a comeback is just around the corner.

It’s one thing that MLB is simply going to let Alex Cora waltz back to his job with the Boston Red Sox like nothing ever happened. But it’s quite another that he’s being allowed to go on this cute little victory tour, brazenly dropping little breadcrumbs about his return along the way like an adorable game, all with the same smug attitude that once told the Yankees to “suck on it”.

Just two weeks after Cora’s birthday, when he tweeted like clockwork every two hours in order to make it perfectly clear he was sittin’ on a secret (What a guy!) even though MLB teams weren’t legally allowed to contact him at that point (Since when does he care about rules?!), the family’s Halloween celebration dropped more information about his next steps.

Cora chose to post a “throwback” Halloween with his World Series trophy (which, as you may recall, was eventually damaged when a Bostonian chucked a beer can at it, initiating a new curse), and catcher Christian Vazquez showed up in the comments to set the hype train off.

Choo choo! These people are the worst!

So, with Cora’s return all but a certainty, it feels like we should remind you that the last time we saw him in the dugout, he was getting his teeth absolutely kicked in by the Yankees.

2018 was 2018. Cora’s Red Sox rampaged through the league, aided by their new manager’s tactics, motivation and video room access. The next year? Hoo boy, quite different. With the exact same roster, the team seemed more than a step slow, getting a no-confidence vote from Dave Dombrowski at the deadline before they completely wilted at Yankee Stadium, both swept and bullied in a four-game set.

LOL! More special! That’s a good one, bud.

Once Cora’s magic fairy dust (which conveniently revealed pitch type and location to his hitters) wore off, the team nosedived, making his “mutual parting of the ways” all the more assured after the Astros scandal broke. Cora may come back, but Yankees fans can focus on the failure we just witnessed him have, rather than the cocky season where he put it all on black and watched a miracle unfold nightly.

Let’s repeat 2019, shall we? Spooky!

Yankees: Red Sox are just begging to start ‘Curse of Mookie Betts’

The Boston Red Sox seem like they really, really want to start a Curse of Mookie Betts. What do you say, Yankees fans, should we let 'em?!
