    "Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.


    "It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    This isn't the NHL.

    I don't think it really matters, what matters is the Sox performing.

    The Sox are leading in almost every offensive category and your pitching staff is shaky. Why would you want Boston over Houston, especially considering the Yankees record against both teams this year? Not to mention the fact that you took Houston to 7 games last year?

    - From the 2004 ALCS Game 4 Gamethread. A reminder that no game is over until the final out is recorded, and things will always get better. Misspellings unchanged as a reminder that Yankees fans are just terrible.

    Houston has some very key players on the DL. They will all be back by September.

    The Yanks struggle against the Astros' starters not really ours.

    When was the last time the Astros pummeled you with a 4 game sweep?

    Absolutely the best answer. I'm with you.

    Because the Astros have knocked us out of the playoffs the last two times we got there. Last year, we were outclassed in Houston and would have to play them without home field again.

    Outside of Sale, this Yankee team when healthy can beat your other starters. The Astros have Verlander and Keuchel who typically dominate us as well as Morton and Cole who have dominated us in the recent past. They also acquired Osuna, who we don’t hit at all. I want none of that club. It clearly looks like the A’s will be playing us in the play in and the winner will face the Sox. After that, I hope the Indians can pull a rabbit out against Houston

    The A's are only 1 back of the Stros now after being 11.5 back at one point. If the A's momentum continues you're facing the Stros.

    The stros are getting Springer back now and Altuve back soon. They’ll roll in Sept

    So true. And even if there were an apparent 'lopsided' match up, there is no predicting what will happen in a postseason series.
