There's nothing more smug than self-referential reminders of your own cheating past, and the New York Yankees allowed the Astros to have a disrespectful party on their field in Sunday's loss. Yet again.
Anyone attempting to deny that the Astros own the Yankees is playing a fool's game; despite the Yankees' combined 12-5 record against Houston since the start of the 2023 season, it just won't matter. Until there's a single playoff series between the two parties that falls in the Yankees' favor, the Astros will have the only edge that matters (even if the 2017 trophy, and probably the 2019 pennant, was ill-gotten).
