Remember that scene from Jurassic Park with the triceratops poop? Worse than that.
They really thought they would look like the tough guys and that Greinke would wilt but he didn't. They did.
ARod shitting all over Boone for the second time for too much lineup switching. Papi helping.
A-Rod thinks everyone is a wilting little flower like him. Torres has hit fourth or fifth every game this series. A-Rod is full of shit. They ran into good pitching.
Edit: Sorry it was third once. A-Rod just supported his point by noting the Twins played the same lineup in all three of their games!

There have been a handful of teams that have won 7-game playoff series on the road in recent memory: 2016 Cubs (World Series), 2004 Boston Red Sox (ALCS), and the 2003 Florida Marlins (NLCS), but this Yankees team is completely finished. The Astros are a good, good team, much better than any of those 3.
I think the Astros are going to annihilate the Yankees tomorrow night.
Nats/Astros World Series. It's what we deserve as baseball fans.

it wasn't long ago Judge hit a 2-run bomb and a couple people here said the Yankees wouldn't lose a postseason game.
anything can still happen.

It's really embarrassing for baseball how high profile a spokesman for the sport he has become, he is factually wrong constantly and never stops blathering.
So now HOU just needs to close it out in 5 or 6 and their rotation will be lined up perfectly for the WS, Cole on full rest in game 1 and Verlander on full rest in game 2. Those will be some fun pitching matchups, pretty curious how much of a fight WAS can give them.
How many runs did the Astros score tonight?
Yeah ARod... the problem is lineup construction.
I know that the Yankees were punchless tonight but they still scare the hell out of me. (Yes, I'm doing exactly what you all think I'm doing.)
I am with you. We just had a whole thread about an improbable comeback. The Yankees are a good team that can certainly win the next game.
"Hideki Matsui would have been the winning run had the Yankees come back and beat the Red Sox with two out in the 9th inning of Game 7 in 2004"...………...
As much as I hate to admit it, he was my favorite Yankee on those teams.
Reason being, he reminds me of Shemp Howard, my favorite stooge.
Pretty annoyed right now, my string of YED lights is not working, don't tell me I have to go bulb by bulb to test them, I'll be here a month.

That's comedic gold in a thread full of them.
I trust everyone will bring their A game later tonight, rest up everyone.
He’s gotta still be taking it personally that Torre hit him 7th or 8th in the playoffs.
Listening to WFAN. Some guy just called bitching about "Analytics" guys. Really? Because A-Rod runs his big mouth, the Analytic guys are going to be scapegoated? That's funny.
Anyone else catch this gem of a Yankee fan on FS1 after Springer's 3-run blast? A delicious moment.
Classic. The guy on his right feels compelled to go along. Out of fear.Anyone else catch this gem of a Yankee fan on FS1 after Springer's 3-run blast? A delicious moment.
That’s got to be after Sanchez’s home run. David Cone’s son to the jumper’s left. Or, one of them threw the ball back on the field and they were celebrating that?Anyone else catch this gem of a Yankee fan on FS1 after Springer's 3-run blast? A delicious moment.
Where is the “Fuck you, Cruz” gif?
There should be a link to it on every page, maybe next to the Amazon link.

It was after Springer's home run. The jumper (a "grown" man who brought a glove to the game) caught it and threw it back onto the field.

There's a great post on the (fictitious) backstories on these people; it's a truly exceptional piece of creative writing. It's my traditional reading on Yankee Elimination Day; hopefully I'll be re-reading it tonight https://www.progressiveboink.com/2012/5/31/2995814/yankeesfans-gif-animated-yankee-enthusiasts-storyIt was after Springer's home run.

It's probably only fair to Yankee fans to show them at a happier and more noble moment in their storied history. (Though the happiness was short lived.)
edit -- I didn't know that Dr. Cox from Scrubs was a Yankees fan (on the left)

Thanks. OK, guy wants to celebrate the beginning (or furtherance) of the end for his team by throwing away a souvenir, more power to him. LO freaking Loud. I'd put it up on eBay.
