Definitely a fun team to watch. Gooooooooooo Yanks!

[Personal Responsibility]

That was a great game. This year’s team is like Rocky. They need to get punched in the mouth and knocked silly before they get going.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The Yankees have been tough at home. Gotta give ‘em that.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

Can they get past another outing by JV and Keuchel? If so they got this.

[lodi90]

Still seems weird to me to have the Astros in the AL.

[Vaquero]

You Betcha. Great game. Love those Baby bombers

[dfwgator]

A Yankees-Dodgers series would be great.

[TexasGator]

How many yanks have said they would never set foot in the White House while Trump was there?

[Jolla]

Yes, it is a good series and the Yankees have that magic working this year, Judge is something to watch. I think Astros take it. Either way it will be good Dodgers Yankees is as classic as it could get, Dodgers Astros - Texas MAY get its first WS championship

[cgbg]

Yankee fan here—and it will still be tough to get by the Astros.

On paper the Astros should win—but that is why they play the games.

[Political Junkie Too]

The Yankees are getting inside the Astros' heads. It was clear in the late innings that the Astros pitchers were avoiding the strike zone, and the Yankees weren't going after pitches.

Yankees are 4-0 when facing elimination.

Amazing game and amazing series.

My annual Fearless Predictions (59% over 30 years) - the top twelve teams from the regular season based on runs scored for and against.

2017
Rank
1 AL Cleveland - Best team, but beaten by NYY
2 AL NY Yankees - Next best team, should win WS
3 AL Houston - Close but NYY should win DS
4 NL LA Dodgers - Close but NYY should win WS
5 NL Arizona
6 NL Washington
7 NL Chicago Cubs
8 AL Boston
9 NL Colorado
10 NL St. Louis
11 NL Milwaukee
12 AL Minnesota

Astros should never have pulled their pitcher, they were talking about that quite a bit in the post-game show, Judge hit that homerun, so what? Said one of them. The Astros might have been able to hang in there bar pulling their starting pitcher.

[Alberta's Child]

These A.L. playoffs have had some of the worst manager decisions I’ve ever seen. What moron takes out a starting pitcher with a 4-0 lead who has given up one hit on just 81 pitches through six innings?

[kaktuskid]

AKA Hitler vs Stalin..who do you hate more?

[dfwgator]

Or in my case, Georgia vs Florida State.

[Alberta's Child]

Sorry - make that a 4-1 lead.

[oh8eleven]

A Yankees-Dodgers series would be great.
Agree, although a Yankees-Giants series would have been great for me.

[1Old Pro]

Yanks need to win tonight before they start celebrating.
