    Here it is, homie

    Nevermind, guess not.

    Yankees rotation is...
    Tanaka
    Severino
    CC
    Gray

    They have almost zero faith in Gray. He'll be on damn near 10 days rest, while others normal 4-days. LOL

    Yeah idk.

    Sale is better than anyone on the Yankees.

    Then they have Pomeranz and Porcello who are good although Porcello obviously didn’t look the same.

    I guess CC’s experience worries me. And Tanaka is good, but the Astros have kinda owned him. Same for Severino. The Yankees don’t even have enough faith in Gray to let him pitch before game 4.

    I’m just not buying the Yankees having better pitching than Boston argument. Anything can happen in the playoffs though.

    Why do the standing room only seats have numbers? Anyone ever done this?

    I've never done it before, but I think it's just to keep track of how many people they sell the tickets to before capacity. I don't think it has anything to do with where you can stand in the standing room. I could be wrong though

    Scherzer just had a nightmarish inning lmao

    I didn't realize Scherzer was playing all nine positions.

    I want the Cubs to win, Nats are the only NL team I'd be afraid of.

    Be careful. They were assholes to Astros fans in 2015. We were mostly spared because our kids were with us. They were nice afterwards though.

    The only thing Yankees fans hate more than your team is their own team when they don't win.

    He doesn't have to worry he isn't really an Astros fan. He is a Dallas fan who likes to troll these forums. It's pathetic.

    My bad -- 16 days.

    Last start, last Thursday
    Yeah, my bad.

    Should've just said, "forget 7 games -- the enormous 162-game sample size discredits the notion of REGULAR SEASON MEANING NOTHING."

    Was talking with a guy -- @Hey Now! -- who's continually stated it doesnt.

    Said very smart poster should've just agreed with my initial sentiment of "regular season doesn't GUARANTEE anything."


    STROS in FIVE !!!

    The first, short, left field positions are hilariously wrong.

    The writer of the article represents a typical Yank fan.
