Astros-Yanks already in Progress. Astros with an early chance to take the lead.

MLB Playoffs in progress. I've started a game log.
And the Astros can't cash in, but the Yankees do in the bottom of the inning and it is 1-0 Yankees.
Get home from work
flip on the tv to the game
sees Brett Gardner score a run
cries
First thing I heard when I turned it on was Joe buck saying "... Its starting to feel like the old Yankee stadium..."
Nope, I can't watch this one tonight. I'm just gonna wait until either the world series or next season. I love baseball and all, but this is really not enjoyable.
Except I know I'll still pay attention ... le sigh
I'm "watching" on ESPN's Gamecast (MLB's Gameday was acting weird). I was watching the pregame on TV until they announced they were going to do a "man on the street" segment seeing what New Yorkers thought about the series. That was when I turned it off.
Hmmm. Wonder why they decided to ask NYers instead of Houstonians?
Cy Tanaka.
Not looking good for the 'Stros.
Blech.
This game is raising my pain level. Time for more Percocet.
Seems like a lot of Yankee hits have been just barely out of the reach of fielders, at least according to the Houston broadcasters. Hit 'em where they ain't, I guess.
Not so much. Most were solid knocks.
I wondered if that was a little exaggeration on the part of the Astros announcers. It's still a lot better than listening to John Sterling and Susyn Waldman.
The only good thing about this game was it's relative brevity. 3:18.
The Twins were in a situation identical to the Astros in '87 and '91--win two at home, lose three on the road--and it worked out pretty well. Don't give up hope!
Same thing in '65. Almost worked then as well if not for Koufax pitching a shutout on short rest.
Given what's happened in the first three games, the Cubs either need to let the Dodgers score first or keep it a scoreless tie until the bottom of the ninth.
I suppose it's common for those of you who live in California, but it sounds odd to South Dakota ears to hear an ad for earthquake insurance.
An Utley HBP? No!
THat ball would have probably hit the houses across the street is that danged scoreboard wasnt there
Bellinger copying Ethier from yesterday.
The Spurs are just so clinical
Not even a quarter into the season and I'm ready for the wolves to trade Wiggins.
Tyus is way better than Teague (that's not SSS, right?).
Seems legit.
Just horrendous offensive spacing and movement whenever Wiggins is on the floor.
Had it on in the background, but watching it recently (nice Bjelica 3). I'm still not used to rooting for the team in those uniforms.
Sam Ryan has to almost yell into Maddon's ear for the dugout interview. Maybe they should stop doing them.
Báez hitless since last World Series so of course he hits two home runs to break the streak.
Pitcher hit!
Wiggins is 8-for-12 from the floor and the Wolves are still down 10 after 3. Not a good sign.
Nice inadvertent board pass to Shabazz.
Making a nice run here. Bjelettfgyrra looks like a player.
Can Rick Pitino just go away, please?
Justin Turner is good
Bjelica reminds me physically of a young David Lee.
Jamal Crawford can still fill it.
It kind of looks like the first game of the year for both teams.
Okay, Maddon deserves to be pissed here
haha, glad they lifted that edict that said you couldn't show close plays on the replay board.
Same ol' Wolves down the stretch.
Maybe. But I'd be more concerned if they weren't playing in San Antonio. At least Thibs isn't force feeding Teague into crunch time just because he was just signed to a big contract.
On the other hand, Towns allowed eight points defensively just by forgetting to box out or falling asleep on defense away from the ball. That has to stop.
He looked.... off. Like, he was no great shakes on defense last year, but it looked like he was just out of sync in general last night. Maybe pressure from the heightened expectations this year? I expect he'll improve reasonably quickly as the first couple weeks roll on.
True. I also can't wait for the season when the NBA refs start giving him the calls when he's trying to put back an offensive rebound and getting hi bumped by several opponents under the hoop.

I blame hungry joe.
Liriano sighting!
