New York, New York


 Misery, thy home is in the Bronx, where the Yankees reside in a home not at all like the one built by Babe Ruth.  Joy, thy home should be my daughter’s high school, Morton West.

The Astros topped the aged Yankees 3-0 last night.  Houston closer Luke Gregerson, pride of Morton West Class of 2002, faced Scott Boras client Carlos Beltan, who went down swinging.  Next up was the recovering ’roidsman and Boras client Alex Rogriguez, who struck out as well.  Last up was Brian McCann, who grounded out meekly to short.  Game over.  Bye-bye, Bombers.
One slight problem--a game featuring fifteen hits and walks combined (with two homeruns and two double plays speeding things up) took three hours and four minutes to play.  Times will only get longer as the playoffs continue.  So, you take the bad with the good.
