    No, you meant they would lose the SERIES.

    This game is a tossup at best for the Yankees. JV on the mound....Astros bats awakened...CC and Springer ...NY has been, for the most part silenced. They show some of the signs of being done already. We're a truly historic team, a dynasty in motion. Keep your perspective. A modern day "Yankees" : )- , if you will.

    Need to jump on Paxton early. He struggles in the 1st inning and combine that with a potentially frustrated crowd and you can really put the pressure on them.

    You're right. Dallas radio hosts must not have 5 seconds for an intern to look it up on Wikipedia like I just did

    The Yankees won in 1962 and their next win was in 1977, a 14-year drought. They won the next year in 1978 and then didn't win again until 1996, a 17-yr drought.

    While, we're on this page, the Mariners, holder of the best regular-season record of all time, are the only team to never appear in a World Series.

    I feel apprehensive as a fan, but the pressure is on the Yankees. They have to win or the season is over. The Astros have three shots, BUT, a loss tonight could catapult the Yankees back into it. I would be very cautious about giving them "new life." The ideal situation would be to eliminate them tonight, but they are desperate and dangerous.

    Astros have to advance with Joe Buck in the booth.

    Oh, God, Joe Buck and his crooked ass-face is back. But could it be worse than the dude yesterday?

    SHAVE YOUR STUPID STUBBLE, BUCK. Nobody thinks of you as an adult; stop trying to look like one.

    I thought Joe Davis was 1000000000X better. It was smoltz leading the hate charge. buck and smoltz together is insufferable.

    Are we stealing Paxton's signs in the Yankee bullpen again?

    I hope we see more of the same from the Yankees in the field.

    Yankees have been having trouble grabbing the ball and it's hilarious.

    I can't even tell who's talking, as I keep proving. I still stand behind insulting Buck's stupid face.
