    Safe to say pitching matchup favors Houston. Per the "Experts" on MLB Network the Astros are the leagues best. The Yankees cab bop with the best hitting wise, time to pay back Keuchel for '15, it's a different Yankee Team now.

    Should be a tough four game series. I'd be happy with a split.

    You are correct, and the Devil gets his due. Thinking back to that '15 season when the Yankees blew that lead, limping into the Playoffs. Got bad vibes when Rasmus & Gomez homered off of Tank. Yankee lineup was lethargic led by our fearless franchise filth A-hole. This '17 Team has moxie and hustle over that '15 squad, only fly is pitching. One would figure not to score much off of Kuechel, but Pineda to me has not shown the consistency to hold his own. An important series, no doubt but lets see what these Yankees do, Go Yankees.

    ^^^^^Granted, I also have more faith in this bunch. Astros have been picked by many to be the AL rep
    in this year's World Series, and it's only May and they already have a substantial lead in their division.
    But as you say, let's see how this team faces head on with a legit contender.

    Anybody remember Old Tiger lefty, Frank Larry.......all time Yankee killer. Dallas Keuchel looks
    to be following suit.......off speed pitches and shutout ball. One tough hombre. This guy could get out of a
    sick bed and beat the Yankees. But still, down two runs gives some hope to the situation. Now, only if
    these guys show some freakin' patience and stop swinging at balls in the dirt. Easier said than done!

    Two strike base hits make Pinhead opponent fodder! Asshole!
    That 3rd run was the crusher.
