Yankees-Astros Game 1 was pretty intense.

[numbers]

Ryan deserved better than a ND for his 15k performance.

[Lament]

One extra innings home run just wasn't enough for Mickey Mantle.

Ducky Medwick with 3 dingers in game 1. Quack.

Kaius, Cooper is who you last had pitch between King and Gibson, so I'm assuming he's still your starter in this spot since you haven't said otherwise. If I'm wrong, I'll re-run that game since I posted the matchups so late.

[Norah]

Damn, Red Sox and Indians both got swept.

[EJ]

Pirates riding a crazy 6 game win streak.

[Lament]

Pirates have been playing well since their last lineup change, so it was only semi-surprising to see them sweep the Red Sox. But the Mariners have been terrible, and Felix didn't start either game, so the Indians getting swept was a pretty big surprise. They squandered a huge opportunity to make a move for the #1 seed.

[EJ]

Heh. I was trying to figure out how Giles got in my lineup for Game 1. Bonds got ejected.

[philpritchard]

GODDAMNIT BJ RYAN!

[Lament]

It was a rough day for Canada, that's for sure.

[Kaius]

Johnny Mize with a pinch hit walk off single!
