You should have heard Chris berman's radio call when Boston made the final out. Embarrassing how bias that guy is. Basically said Houston like 3 times "is going to the ALCS". Like he couldn't believe a team that won 100+ games was advancing in the playoffs.
14:19 -- Commentator.... Does Greg Kimbrel have *The Guts* to throw a 3-2 breaking ball with Altuve on deck?
I too see home field advantage being a much bigger factor than the difference in quality between the Yankees and the Indians. I would give a slight edge to the Indians, but both teams are incredibly tough.
Okay, now makes sense. Indians finished 11 games ahead of NY. Their 22-gamer is almost as unbelievable as their 4-month meander before the streak.
Having spent almost no time watching Judge during the season I am surprised so many people raved about him. He looks completely lost out there, as he just set the single post season series strikeout record.
Anyone catch that Skittles elevator commercial during the Yankees game? It creeped out my 15 year old daughter. I thought it was pretty cool for a commercial.
Never could have ever envisioned having the chance to beat both the Red Sox and the Yankees en route to the World Series. Almost surreal.
