While the Astros just set themselves up nicely to kick the ever-lovin’ shit out the Yankees in the playoffs the Yankees responded by doing ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING.

Edwin Encarnacion has a fractured wrist. FML

I really really hate MLB for getting rid of the waiver trade deadline.

Swept Boston!

But Gio Urshella and Gleyber Torres had to leave the game early due to injuries.

I’d say the Yanks are cursed but they are 8 games ahead of the Rays and 14.5 up on the Red Sox.

Next man up until they run out of men I guess...

The Yankees kicked the shit out of the Orioles so bad this season that Chris Davis tried to fight his own manager. 42-14 against the AL East. Bananas...

27th straight season with a winning record.

Is that good? Seems good... ;)

74 homers this month. Incredible.

I think the previous record was 57? 59? Insane...

My only worry is that teams that rely so much on homers generally don’t win the World Series. I’m going to start rooting for doubles and singles.

The impressive part was the defense. They made some world class plays. IMO it's going to be the Yankees or Astros who win the World Series.

I am in shock right now. I fully expected to go back to New York down 0-2.

No matter what happens tomorrow, the Yankees have to feel good about themselves.

They had so many chances. Cole was off but the new baseball doesn’t carry like the one they used in the regular season and the Yankees seemingly can only hit fly balls.

As if this game couldn’t get more depressing, CC has to come out, limping off the Yankee Stadium mound for the last time.

I just love the fact that the World Series will be in DC and there is 0 chance Fat Nixon throws out the first pitch because he’s scared of getting booed and laughed at.

Yeah first world series games to be played in DC since the first year of FDR's administration and the president will not show up simply because he's a coward.

A fully rested Cole, with Greinke and probably Verlander available in the pen.


Good luck with that if it goes 7.

Yeah, Hicks is a fucking stud for coming back and playing with that elbow. And that homer he hit against Houston in game 5 was epic under the circumstances.

Tanaka also needs arm surgery. Said to be minor but not sure if he’ll miss time.

The training staff and methods need to be overhauled. The sheer volume of injuries was like nothing I’ve ever seen. That can’t happen again next year.

Hicks diving catch to end that crazy 14-12 game against the Twins might be the greatest outfield play I’ve seen since Jim Edmonds.
