Is it OK to say that Harris is pissing down his leg?

Gets away with a cookie and then throws another. Awful

And once again the Boil is spot on; the Astors are going to lay an egg in New York, go home down 3-2, play tight and go down in flames in 6.

They were raking all series long vs the Red Sox; vs these assholes, they can't hit their way out of a wet paper bag.

Infuriating.

Mfys being good again is upsetting. When they were weighed down by all those bad contracts, I thought we'd get a short break

they aren't getting shut down by Sonny Gray tomorrow.

it is remarkable though... I think they had at least 12 hits in all 4 ALDS games

Yanks have underplayed their pythag all year. Fitting that they'll end this game with a big + run differential and down in the series 2-1.

To be honest, I was afraid the Yankees would lose this game and then become the second team in history to come back from a 3-0 deficit. That would have made me so miserable if we had to share that honor with them. At least with a Yankees win today I won't have to worry about that.

Judge is getting way too much credit for 3 plays that all rank as a 4 or 5 on a 1-10 difficulty scale tonight.

This series has been a microcosm of the Yankees' year. Win easy and lose hard. 10-4 and counting and they are 2-1 in the series.

One wonders if their Pythag luck will really not turn around by the end of the season. Although, if the Astros can't manage more than two runs a game it won't even matter.

Actually, what am I even talking about. We all knew how this series would end before it started and nothing has changed. They are still the fucking Astros, and Astros gonna Astro.

Well, at least Betances shit the bed and decreases the number of trustworthy high-lev Yankee bullpen arms by one for future games.

When it comes to watching the MFYs in the playoffs night after night hoping they are going to lose, we're all starting to prove Einstein right regarding his definition of insanity.

The first catch was exhibit A; if he wasn't such a towering monument to buffoonery, he makes that catch without crashing into the wall and killing nine fans in the first row of the bleachers in the process.

At least that's addition by subtraction.
