Happy Yankees Elimination Day!

It’s crazy how shallow major league lineups are these days. That bottom of the Yankee lineup is really weak, but they really didn’t have anyone useful to PH in the 9th. Amazing how much the game has changed in the last decade or so.
He used to play for the Cardinals. He's already managed to play for the 2 most bottom feeding pig fucker franchises in baseball. I'm sure that contributes.
I'm not sure what it is, either. But watching him constantly tongue his mouth guard is revolting.
This was nice, but won't matter. The Yankees will still win this series. They will win the next game, then head back to NY tied, and take it from there.
The internet (or more specifically, Sarah Langs' twitter) tells me this is the biggest single game differential in postseason history.
Peña gives me more than all the ammo I need to root for the Astros (as opposed to “against the MFY”).
He‘s the son of former MLB infielder Geronimo Peña, who up and moved his family from the Dominican to Providence, RI for reasons I can’t figure out when young Jeremy was 9 years old. Jeremy would go on to attend my high school — Classical High -- a selective public high school known much more for its academics than its sports teams. (I’m sure we’ve produced a D1 athlete or two in the last 50 years, but a lot more accountants, doctors, and Rhode Island politicians, for better and worse).
Jeremy was drafted out of high school in like the 40th round (I’m confident other Classical ball player was ever drafted, at least I wasn’t) but went up to U Maine and became a more significant prospect, including an All Star season in the Cape League that got him up to a third rounder by Houston.
I hate looking inside his mouth while he plays with his mouth guard during his at bats. I guess the extreme close ups aren't his fault, but SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!!!
I wonder if we see Trey Mancini tonight. He’s faced Severino over the years in Baltimore and Aledmys Diaz has given the Astros nothing.

I've always wished Warriors superstar Steph Curry would keep his mouthpiece where it belongs instead of chewing on it while he plays. However, I like him (except when he's playing the Celtics). With Bader, maybe it's the puffed out chest. Like a grouse?
Huh. Was the Sox game the fourth? Guy said Valdez wasn't good last year in 3 of 4 games.
hmmm. Was Valdez the guy that kept touching the side of his face or the guy that miraculously gained 3-4 mph between ALCS starts? Answer is yes either way.
Nothing to do with the roof being open on Judge's ball. Topspin. If he'd hit or square, 480 feet?
Is it me or do these two teams play with zero joy, at least compared with the Phillies and the Padres?
The story I heard about Gil Hodges on that 1 for 21 he had was the parish priest (or minister) in Brooklyn said at the end of a short service on Sunday: "it's hot today, no sermon, just pray for Gil Hodges."
