Yanks resemble the Royals. Never say die. Down 2 runs in the 8th last night and they score 4 or 5. Astros never seem to be good in the 8th

Yankees have an "it" factor I haven't seen them have since the dynasty era. Not they are such because that is an insult to the late 90's team. Built from a core of home-grown players with a lot of trades made.

It's also a lot more fun rooting for a team like this vs. the 2009 team that I, even as a Yankees fan, don't like. Baseball is in a better state now, even if teams like the Yankees, Sox, and Dodgers still have unfair advantages relative to other teams. At least other teams have a chance to win if they build the right way.

Just nice to see them emotional and not being the business-like Yankees getting beat by the team that wants it more. Game 6 is gonna be intense.
