Damn Yankees Wallop Astros: An ALCS Game 3 Retrospective

The Damn Yankees are back in the ALCS after an 8-1 home-cookin' victory over the Houston Astros. The series is now 2-1 'Stros, but the Yanks have a knack for coming back, seemingly finding loosey-goosey and focused comfort in doing-so.

Aaron "Dave Kingman" Judge thawed his iced play-off bat, swatting a three-run hum-dinger and too, flashing some leather. Precisely insofar as instance, a running-jumping grab of a Yuli Gurriel’s fourth-stanza fly-ball. In front of a PlayStation sign reading "GREATNESS AWAITS," because why not?

Bronx Bomber hurler CC Sabbathia silenced the oft-loud Astros lineup, holding 'em scoreless for six-frames and surrendering a meekly mere three hits. CC too fanned five, walking four. The squad anchor, he is now a gaudy 10-0 with 1.69 ERA in games started after a squad loss, and is now 5-1 all-time at Ruth's Casa in the play-offs.

Jose Altuve made the final-out in double-play fashion. I'm still waiting for him to hit a double grand-slam for the win.

Report a typo, win a No-prize.
