Don’t understand what Boone was doing with Clarke Schmidt there He was trying to make us happy …but seriously, that was inexcusable given how bad he looked in the 5th (getting lucky with the DP)

Tough watching the AL/NLCS when I don't really like ANY of the teams. Mostly I'm hoping that Machado and Harper fight, and that the MFY don't win.

There is no such thing as "building a team for the playoffs":

Though I could get behind a win one last time for the gipper sentiment for Dusty Baker.

It feels weird/gross to be rooting for the Astros, especially Bregman..

Yankees victimized by 360 foot clown box home run. Beautiful That was a legit HR, gone in most ballparks. I hate how xBA doesn't factor in location off the bat - why would launch direction be any less of a skill than launch angle? Sign me up though for the Astros pulling off the Stanton (barely out in right-center) and the Rizzo (pop up down the right field line) this weekend with men on base.

Yankees lineup constructioin continues to seem weird to me.
Bader Judge Stanton Rizzo
Why go R-R with Judge and Stanton? Rizzo's a better hitter than Stanton anyway, just put him third. Or actually, I'd probably lead off with Rizzo aahead of Judge. At least they don't have Judge leading off anymore...

So weird to root for the team that knocked off the Red Sox last year but its necessary. Go Houston. Win the pennant for Dusty Baker and Christian Vazquez. 2 more wins needed.

Three more Matt Carpenter golden sombreros in Yankee losses and I will no longer be grumpy about that dude's season

After game 1 and 2 I went down a Roger Clemens Rabbit hole.
If the reincarnation of Roger Clemens throws his first pitch next April you could sign him to a 1 billion dollar 24 year deal and he’d be worth every penny.
Meanwhile, the trolling of every Yankee fan in my life continues. 2-0
