Verlander vs. Paxton
Best case scenario we finish them off tonight, celebrate on their field with trash raining down around us, and get ready for a tough tough series against the Nationals. You can tell the Yankees were pretty demoralized last night, but I fully expect them to bounce back with some fire today. They're going to be super motivated to AT LEAST not lose it on their home turf.

Let’s get it done. No need to go back to Houston to play. Get Cole for game 1 of the WS and JV for game 2.

There are people out there actually asking if they’d prefer the Astros clinching in New York or Houston. New York, no contest.

In a fight you never step back and let the other guy get up. Never, not til it is over.

I see the Yankees after the ALCS Game 4 the same as our team last season. They gave it their best but now it’s basically over. |

Interesting about the Nats .. 8 teams have swept the LCS round since it went to a best-of-7 series
Those 8 teams are 1-7 in the World Series the following round

I remember when Magglio hit that walkoff against Street to sweep the A’s. I thought that the Tigers were going to win it all after that, but the Cardinals dispatched them in 5 games. The rust theory is real. |

Let’s get it done. No need to go back to Houston to play. Get Cole for game 1 of the WS and JV for game 2. This is the perfect outcome...win the pennant in front of the low class trash in Yankee Stadium and then set up Cole and Verlander to go against Scherzer and Strasburg in games one and two of the WS |

Just found out the REAL reason why Sabathia was brought into yesterday's game. So he can get injured and the Yanks can bring in Heller to replace him for their bullpen day if it goes to a game #6.
The skipper probably told CC "Go out there and throw as hard as you can, we all believe in you"

I keep reading all these stories about Sabathia being a HOFer. Dude's career ERA is nearly 4. Is that the type of pitcher we're enshrining now?

Case for:
251-161
3093 K
116 ERA+
Averaged a super impressive 188 IP per season.
CY
ALCS MVP
6x AS
Case Against:
3.74 ERA
1.259 WHIP
62.5 WAR
I think he kind of falls in the middle of the pack of great-not elite starting pitchers that eventually got in or are still waiting. I don't feel he should get in before Schilling, but he likely will. He had a better career than Jack Morris who made it in, and yet he probably wasn't as good of a pitcher as Kevin Brown who didn't even stay on the ballot past his first eligible year. Since he was a Yankee, I expect he makes it in his 3rd or 4th year unless he dies soon and then he'll get in quicker due to emotions.
Voting for the HoF has become so random in a lot of ways.
