Series Thread: ALCS: Houston Astros vs New York Yankees

[Dusty]

From what I have read they are somewhere around $1500 a seat and most are bought by large corporations that don’t care if they are filled or not.

1.) It is awesome to see Yankee stadium rocking.

2.) I Feel like this is the second game in a row where I have seen empty seats at Yankee stadium? Are they not selling out the stadium? There's like 4-5 seats empty behind home plate.

Makes sense, but too bad. Anyways, awesome to see Yankee stadium rocking in the month of October.

Damn...so far it looks like those bronx bastids are gonna head to back to space city with the upper hand.

The 'stros have been severely underperforming the entire series.

Me thinks the Bosox would've been a more formidable opponent for their division rival in this thing.


Fun fact:

Of the 58 best-of-7 postseason series that have been tied 2-2, the Game 5 winner has won series 41 times (70.8 percent).

Im amazed so many of you think Houston cant win their 2 home games.

Of course they could

But Verrrrry very hard to just flick that switch and get the offense rolling again, they have been absolutely crippled this entire series, while the Yankees are getting hot at the right time

Same exact thing happened to Cleveland

Same thing happened to a lotta Yankee teams in the mid 2000's

If the Yankees hold on today, all they have done is hold serve. They still have to win 1 game in Houston and with Verlander pitching Friday the momentum can swing real easily to Houston's side.

This series is a long way from being over.

Sure they can ( "it ain't over til it's over" ) yada yada...but they skanks have stolen/retook whatever momentum the astros thought they had.....big time.

Nope. Its dunzo.

 

[Wishbone]

Yankee crowd is loud and rowdy. Reminds me of the Pedro "whose your daddy" days.

 

[DJ]

What a HR....

The momentum has totally shifted to the Yankees favor.

Yep. Just pointing it out to @The Derski......he apparently hasn't.

 

[molsaniceman]

cmon astros dont u know how many fans are really disappointed right now

 

[phantomfoul88]

Jesus I hate the f*cking Skankees

 

[The Derski]

Yep. Just pointing it out to @The Derski......he apparently hasn't.

I understand what everyone is saying. Ive watched sports before. I would not be surprised if the Yankees win this in 6 games. I also would not be surprised to see a playoff team go on a 2 game winning streak to advance... its TWO games.

Jesus Christ

Just mess'n with ya

Verlander is not above shitting himself in high pressure situations.

I’m not saying he will, but there is precedent.
