Could the defeat of New York be a warning message to Houston?
rofl, no, it was simply the defeat of the Yankees.
I’m a lifelong huge Red Sox fan, but it is just silly to underestimate the Astros. It should be a tough, hard-fought series, and the Astros are not quaking over any “warning message.”
Both of these teams have a ton of respect for each other, but neither is intimidated, either.
And while Alex Cora was the bench coach for Houston last year, that is not going to give the Sox some “secret sauce” to guarantee victory. They will have to fight for it on the field.
