You have to give the Yankees a lot of credit. Down 2-0 after a devastating loss and then coming back to win three straight  with the 5th game on the road to advance to the American League Championship Series. A couple of things;

The Yankees bailed out Joe Girardi for his game 2 blunder. Instead of having a Grady Little moment, it is now just a footnote in history.

Cleveland was red hot going into the series plus remember the Indians had that 22 game winning streak so again so much for momentum.[How many times do I have to prove what a crock that is?]

The season series doesn’t mean anything either. Cleveland was 5-2 against the Yankees during the regular season. The Astros were also 5-2 against the Yankees during the regular season. I think Houston wins the ALCS, but I can’t guarantee it. Would anybody be surprised if the Yankees won? No not really.

Now for Cleveland:

Another year without a championship. Another year of disappointment. I thought Cleveland was going to win the World Series and so did a lot of people.

Does this hurt Terry Francona’s legacy? I hate to say it, but I think it does at least a little bit.

Ok last year was one thing, but Cleveland did blow a 3-1 lead in the World Series and lost the final two games at home and this year blew a 2-0 lead in the ALCS after getting a gift in game 2 and lost a 5th and deciding game at home. Those are the facts!

On the same day the Yankees advance the Red Sox fire John Farrell. I don’t know  exactly, but there is some irony in that.

Week #6 in the NFL. I went 6-8 last week and I now stand at 44-33.
