I can see either Atlanta or LA getting to the WS for the NL. For the AL, Houston or NY

I can see either Atlanta or LA getting to the WS for the NL. For the AL, Houston or NY I don't see Cleveland knocking off MFY but I can see Seattle making it difficult for Houston.

The Mariners losing late to the Astros last night was disappointing.

The Mariners losing late to the Astros last night was disappointing. Yeah, I'd prefer the Astros not succeed, considering what they did to become "great".

Glad to see Guardians even that up. Extra glad to see Judge coming up little, and getting booed by his own supposed fans!

I remember Pedro Strop getting booed by Orioles' fans in the playoffs which was pretty messed up since he was an important part of their season.

It’s only been two games but Judge has been awful in the ALDS so far. He looks like his timing is a little off.
As for the booing fans, they’re idiots. The Yanks wouldn’t be in the playoffs if not for Judge carrying the team all year.

The Phillies eliminated the Braves. Wow.
Lots of upsets early in this postseason.

I feel for the Seattle fans. Finally getting a home playoff game and the Mariners don't score for 18 innings.
And the Dodgers once again fail.

Dodgers eliminated by the Padres.
Yanks are on the ropes against the Guardians. Not sure if the Yanks will ever win the WS with Aaron Boone as manager.

Bush league

I agree it is Bush league but it's still hilarious. And the whining from Yankee fans about it is the very definition of hypocrisy.

Their players rarely express emotion or do bat flips (Josh Donaldson is the exception). So I don’t know where your “hypocrisy” remark comes from.

I think his teammates even dislike him. Cole has been a prick for a while now. Tried to rattle Alek Manoah earlier this year after hitting Judge even though Manoah personally apologized to Judge right after it happened. But I was talking about the fans. Who threw garbage at the Guardians players earlier this year. Yankee fans are trash.

So Naylor wasn’t doing that to annoy Yankee fans. It also looked like his teammates didn’t approve of his antics. Also, Cole is went on to shut down the Guardians after that and the Yankees won the game. Game 5 tonight.

The Yanks advance to face Houston in the ALCS
San Diego and Philly in the NLCS

17 K's by the Skanks last night. Wow...that's Orioles-eque. The Homeplate Umpire was responsible for half of the strikeouts. There were so many called strikes on pitches inches outside. Oh well. Game 2 tonight.

Game 2 tonight. Part of the game is pitching. And part of pitching is knowing when the umpire is making mistakes (if he was) and exploiting that. I'm okay with it as long as it works against the Yankees, who have already gotten farther than I hoped they would!

Verlander is going to win the CY again this year and he’ll eventually go to the HOF.
So yeah, I’m sure he figured out how to take advantage of the umpire’s expanded strike zone.
The Yanks had him on the ropes at one point but he figured it out and shut them down.
Onto Game 2.

Houston wins 5-0. Yankees down to their last chance in their next game.
This was a series when I wanted both teams to lose, but alas, that can't happen. So I'll have to root for the NL in the Series...

Oh the horror. Skanks down 0-3. Not a fan of Houston, but I always enjoy a Yankee meltdown in the postseason.

Keep this same energy the next time the O’s are in the playoffs but don’t advance to the WS.
(Yes, I think the Astros likely will win the ALCS)
As for the NLCS, any thoughts? It looks like Philly is the dark horse team this season.

Part of my problem with the Yankees is that they feel they are entitled to the best players because they have the biggest checkbook.

However, the Yankees owners haven’t tried to buy a championship since George Steinbrenner passed away. It’s the reason why Hal Steinbrenner, his son, got booed last time he appeared on the field at Yankee stadium. Pretty sure Os fans might do the same to Peter Angelos.
