Bitter Yankees-Astros rivalry is exactly what MLB needs a lot more of
NY Post
Maybe it is too much to ask, because it sure seems the Yankees are officially committed to a policy of one-step-up, two-steps-back — and that isn’t the best way to negotiate a pennant race, especially one in which you are playing from behind.
But, man, baseball could sure use some more Yankees-Astros. Baseball craves another chapter of this percolating blood feud, and that will only be possible if the Yankees can drag themselves out of the quicksand and make a legit second-half run, find their way into the playoffs, become entangled in another best-of-seven (or best-of-five; we won’t be picky) with those dastardly demons from the Lone Star State.
