Series Thread: ALCS: New York Yankees vs Houston Astros

[nynasty]

Hate to see Sabathia potentially end his career like that. Will always remember the run he had to finish out the 2008 with the Brewers. The most dominant stretch of pitching I had ever witnessed.

Thanks CC!!

Ditto.

10 years ago this month he put the Yankees on his back, made just about every start on 3 days rest, and basically carried them to their last title.

Not the ending i hoped for him, for sure, but he'll always be the largest (no pun intended) reason they won in '09.

If that was last night, how did that guy think that they were playing Cole?

Edit: Or did he say cold?

I think that was the game they did face Cole.

Only cost them about a quarter billion in the process, too?

That obviously wasn't last night. A) it's daylight, and 2) everyone is wearing short sleeve or light jackets.

Unfortunately for the Yanks, the bats went cold at the wrong time, but that exposed the bigger problem, the average at best pitching they have. They need at least two legit starters, you can't pitch my committee in the post season, especially if the bats aren't getting it done.

Yanks sign Cole????

 

[cerealboi]

Nice defense the Yankees got there.

Possibly they will try, but will have competition from The Dodgers and Angels.

Another possibility is Strasburg, he has an opt out clause in his contract, doubt he will leave Washington, but you never know if someone flashes enough cash.

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

They are the better team, but don't be surprised if the Nationals sweep them...

I don’t think that’s gonna happen, Astros are just too deep... Nationals are ballin though so would be a good series...

 

[nynasty]

Yanks sign Cole????

Doubt it very much. He's already spurned them previously, and all indications are he wants the west coast.

LOL

How did I know we'd have a Cereal sighting today?

Not surprisingly, Dirt has gone MIA from Zig's board. I'm part of the search party looking for him.

So it took the Red Sox to get him off this board, and the Astros to get him off message boards entirely.

Well, at least his bar will get one more home date.

Lol. That's exactly what was said on Zig's. "He got the full three games of revenue, isn't that enough?"

Peanuts compared to what the Red Sox gave those shitbirds, Sale & Price.

Yeah, professional athletes are notoriously loyal to their teams. . .

Maybe. But didn't the Red Sox win a World Series, with said shitbirds?

Yes, which bring this conversation full circle to the Yankees winning a World Series with Sabathia.

You wear a digital watch and velcro shoes, don't you?

BTW, welcome to tHoop.

Have someone you trust read the last couple pages of this thread and explain them to you.
