Astros Force Yanks to Game 7: An ALCS Game 6 Retrospective

The Houston Astros and Damn Yankees are headed to Game 7 to-morrow night, with all thems ALCS marbles at stake. Winner gets to vie Dem Bums for Kings of the World. The final here was of a 7-1 Houston-win varietal.

Justin Verlander was amazing through seven shut-out stanzas, more-so amazing in the final hard-scrapple'd pair. Following this on its heels 'twas a season-saving late-game batting-breakout of hyphenated-string proportions. Also great was the Hostess Cupcake Ice-cream I ate at round the fourth. What a time to be in the whirled. With the Astros swinging, the Damn Yankees doing nothing-but, and CC Sabbathia versus ??? come the deciding game. I am hash-tag stoked.

Jose Altuve shone with a hum-dinger and two-run knock. Aaron "Dave Kingman" Judge hit a ball that broke Sabermetrics' Big-O-Meter. All-told though, the Astros shakey bull-pen stilled to-night. Still and forever, Verlander is the story: his mastery of the stupid scary Bronx Zoo bats-men -- employing as much steel-trap brain a golden-armed brawn.

Report a typo, win a No-prize.
