The New York Yankees added to the postseason misery for the Cleveland Indians and their fans. Wednesday night a 5-2 victory by New York put them in the ALCS vs. Houston. At one point during the season Cleveland won over 20 consecutive games. Now manager Terry Francona team blew a 2-0 best of 5 ALDS lead. Which was capped off by an ineffective start by ace Corey Kluber, with the season on the line in Game 5. During this home postseason start Kluber didn't make it out of the 4th inning. The Yankees already scored 3 runs off the Cleveland ace. Meanwhile the Yankees qualified as a Wild Card participant. Last week at home in a one game winner take all game, they fell behind early at home. Then suddenly the boys from the Bronx took the game over and eliminated Minnesota. Fast forward to this week after losing the first two ALDS games in Cleveland, the Yankees came home to win 2 games and even the series 2-2. Then the Yankees went on the road to complete the comeback. The Indians went down in defeat vs. Chicago last year. The Cubs came back from a 3-1 World Series deficit to break their curse. Leaving the Indians and their fans hurt. The Yankees Wednesday night simply added to that.
