Judge left off roster -- not a surprise.

Weathers added and Rosario dropped. Yankees carrying 11 pitchers.

But Weathers doesn't frighten the Rays -- they're in a dome.

The Eek factor: Yankees have only won 2 of last 10 playoff series when they have the home field disadvantage.

Yankees have won 8 straight playoff series at home -- which it is extremely unlikely they will have another one this year

Yankees really need to win AT LEAST one of these games to have a chance to end the series at YS

Over / Under: SBs by Yankees 3.5

Rasmussen beat 'em and quite thoroughly. not only good variety and sequencing, but outstanding placement.

Cole pitched terribly, gave up too many run

Rasmussen continues to own us. Kudos to him. You have to give credit where credit is due.

That was disappointing. But an excellent game.

Damn, I wanted to see Stanton hit a HR just to see who Boone would have used as a PR!!

Mixing my kitchen metaphors, the Yankees need to cook up some runs against Baker!

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
