Yankees (Doo-Doo) To Their 19th ALCS

The New York Yankees (3-1) and (3-1), and now (4-1) in series, 80 percent, “only” (12-9) 57 percent in post-season games vs K.C. , have joined fellow N.Y. team, the Mets, who are to be in their (10 less), 9th LCS, as the two known 2024 LCS entrants.

They will play the winner of tomorrow’s decisive 5th game with series underdog Detroit (Tigers) a “Skubal driven” slight “fave,” at Cleveland (Guardians, nee Indians, hoping to, as Michigan did earlier in fateful, same calendar as certainly fateful, ’68, can title for the first time since 1948).

Once before their great glory, still by far– they have baseball’s best history was tarnished at least a bit, when Boston overcame (3-0)– they were (10-1) in LCS play and are now (11-7) with 5 straight losses.

Detroit is (3-0) vs the Yankees in post-season, topped only by the Astros, who they eliminated this year and are (4-0) vs the Yankees.

The “Det” manager, A.J. Hinch guided the “Stros” to 3 of the 4 series wins vs the Yankees, Dusty Baker en route to his lone managerial and non strike season crown, managed the other.

The Yankees clinched victory in their first ALCS, that also vs K.C. (Royals) when tied B9 and after bottles were thrown, Chris Chambliss “solo’d” the Yankees to a (7-6) #5 victory.
