Congratulations and praise - the Bombers !!
In the early going Tuesday afternoon, the Yankees pointed themselves toward Houston and never looked back.
Giancarlo Stanton’s first-inning three-run homer was followed by a second inning shot by Aaron Judge, giving Nestor Cortes – starting on short rest – plenty of positive momentum.
And when Wandy Peralta sealed a 5-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians, the celebration was on at Yankee Stadium.
Climbing their way back from a 2-1 deficit in games, the Yankees – behind Gerrit Cole - won Sunday’s potential elimination Game 4 at Cleveland and handily won Game 5 in the Bronx.
Now, it’s on to Minute Maid Park for the best-of-seven AL Championship Series, beginning Wednesday night.
This is the third time since 2017 that the Astros and Yankees have met in the ALCS, with Houston winning both previous series.

Congratulations to the Yankees but I’ll be cheering for the Astros. It’s my Houston upbringing.

I was pulling for Cleveland to pull off what San Diego and Philly had done, knock off the top dog. (I almost feel bad for the Dodgers. Almost.)

I cannot imagine feeling sorry for the Dodgers. I don’t feel at all sorry for those bastards. I made them my favorite team and then they pull up stakes and leave Brooklyn. Unforgivable. |

Obviously I will cheers for the Bombers. That's where ....I'm from East Coaster.
Two of the teams moved to the Pacific ocean. It took me almost 20 years to live to the other Coast. Always be a Yankee.
Playoffs Series always has great players and games. The top cream (players) and the "sour milks" eat peanuts/beer couch in the shaggy carpet basement.
I have a feeling that the Houston will probably be Kings..... The Yankees are pretty good but they're not good enough..... Always be a Yankee
Yankees win or lose
Enjoy for good games oh oh
Always be a Yank

Who are the Guardians? Is this the team formerly known as the Aboriginal People?
Oh, and I don’t recall a team called the Bombers either.

Oh, and I don’t recall a team called the Bombers either. The Bronx Bombers Their most commonly used "unofficial" nickname is "the Bronx Bombers", or simply "the Bombers". This nickname was given to them by the press a long time ago. It refers to their ability to hit home runs a lot (a home run is sometimes called a "bomb"). |
