The Yankees and Astros are the most compelling villains that baseball has to offer. But the Yankees wear the black hat so much better than their ALCS opponents. joedelessio writes
Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge celebrate after Stanton’s three-run home run in game five of the ALDS., where, for the third time in six years, they’ll play the Houston Astros for the AL pennant. The National League side of the MLB postseason bracket features two teams — the 89-win Padres and the 87-win Phillies — who each needed to pull off a pair of upsets to get this far.
The Yankees have long been the league’s great bully, a swaggering franchise with a big payroll that’s not shy about reminding you about all those championship rings. In recent years, the franchise itself has embraced the idea that they are, as former Red Sox president Larry Lucchino famously called them, baseball’s Evil Empire. They believe in tradition, they demand excellence, and they ooze superiority.
The thing about a superiority complex, though, is that to maintain it — and to really fuel the hate that goes along with it — a team needs to actually win. And the Yankees haven’t had a lot of postseason success in recent years. This is their first trip to the ALCS in three years, and they haven’t reached the Fall Classic since 2009 — an eternity for a franchise that enters each season with a “World Series or bust” mentality.
