Glad the Yankees won. Now we get to see them do what the Yankees do so well - lose to the Astros in the ALCS.

"I'm so fucking business I won't show my face to talk shit unless we've already won the series!" said every badass ever.

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19093]

I might try and get to a couple of games as last time I went to see the Astros was the 2019 ALCS here in NYC.

[tx 3 putt 76314]

Both teams are 0-0 tomorrow. Throw it all out the window for a rivalry series

I guess the roster drops 10am tomorrow ?

[Wulaw Horn 18973]

My dream roster?

same as last time but Martinez added and Dubon subtracted. 
I feel like they are going to add Smith and I hate that. 

[Scraps 13540]

Martinez on Meyers off

[TexArcher 37508]

"I won't be back unless we win" is the Helobious-est thing ever.

"We," lololol.  We're all closer to being Cubans or Jamaicans than you are to being a New Yorker.

So ... Helobious gonna remain true to form by quitting on his team & trashing them after their first loss in the series, like the pussy he is?

[henrygandorf 29174]

Of all the clubs ahead of the Astros they have at least a 59 year head start.... Crazy to think they have already surpassed 9 teams that had 60+ year head starts too.  Of all the expansion teams (1961 or later) only the Astros & Rays average more than 1 postseason win per year.

To be fair, there were only a total of 7 playoff games per year until 1969 - the World Series. Maximum possible wins per year during that period - 4. (Might have been a couple of 9 game series before 1910.)

Then the max went to 7, now it is 13.

The majority of our wins have come within the last 6 or 7 years.

Astros have certainly had a better playoff win record compared to any of the teams that were created around the same time, or after.

I went to my first Colt 45 game in 1963, for years I thought we’d never win a playoff game, much less a World Series.

I always longed for the Astros to be the bad ass team, the team that everyone knew they had to go through. And here we are, piling up playoff wins every year.

These are the best of times.

Yes I know the LCS didnt start until 1969 but there is no excuse for the dogahit 9 teams that the Astros have passed they have been around for the entire expanded playoff window but they still smoke pole.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

I want to see Bregman on 2nd a lot, turning his head. 😉

[Wulaw Horn 18973]

Apparently the rotation is set:

JV, Framber, Javier, LMJ. 
if it goes to 7 it wouldn’t be interesting to see if Javier goes on 3 days or if Garcia got The ball in game 7. They want to have optionality to pitch Javier on 3 days, but that might be in bullpen. Figure if LMJ pitches game 3 he’s done for the rest of the series but Javier could come back. 

[WBT 20415]

Javier starting Game 3 in Yankee Stadium, huh?  Yeah, that could work out.

[Scraps 13540]

So I guess they are going Severino game 2?
