Astros win tonight, Yankees cant break their curse..
Alvarez could give Framber the cushion here
Yankees need to make him work and put up some hits this second time through. Severino looked good in the dugout after a rough 2nd. Hopefully he comes out strong in the 3rd
So according the the announcers the Astros in order to have the roof had to agree to certain conditions such as having it open when the temp/humidity is low. Also, MLB dictates in the post season if open or closed...



At least it's a nice night
Just need length out of him tonight
Not making Framber work in the first
You cursed the Astros
Georgia is a democratic state and eventually Texas will be as well

re: DC trip recommendations

Just got back from DC last month....

- tickets to get to the top of the Washington Monument need to be reserved online unless you want to arrive at 8 a.m. to try and get them.

- walking from Capitol Hill to Jefferson Monument was a nice walk and fantastic weather

- the Natural Science Museum was fantastic but sooooo crowded. Like certain exhibits you were shoulder to shoulder with people

- I stayed at Capitol Hill Hotel which was 2 blocks from the Capitol and had a few nice little restaurants

- Did the DC tour at Night and it really wasn't worth what I paid, had more fun walking and exploring myself

- 3 of the Musuems were closed due to renovations (aviation, American history, native American)

- Did not see as many homeless as I expected tbh, ran I to several crazies though due to protesting at the Capitol.

- White House has a blockade a street around it so you can not get close to take pictures. Also a homeless encampment right in front and they stink.

- I went to a couple of breweries as well

- Did not eat anywhere special, just kinda munched on pub food or a local dive bar

- Was a little disappointed in seeing the Declaration, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. Lighting was low, no photography, very crowded, a-hole guards. Then walking around the National Archive building was ok
Yankees giving Peraza and Cabrera a go tonight, Donaldson still in but he is hitting 7th now
Yankees started solid and Donaldson/Carpenter took them out of every rally. The Donaldson strikeout and some favorable strike calls put Verlander into a groove after what looked like a rough start.

Hopefully Yankees tonight see Donaldson on the bench with Cabrera in the field along with Peraza.
Donaldson ended that inning, another bad AB for him
