NEW YORK -- The Bad News Bears invaded the Bronx on Tuesday night.
If you're too young to remember that wonderful 1976 baseball movie of the Walter Matthau-coached Little League team that initially was as terrible as it gets ... that was the Yankees in the field in the middle game of this week's big series against the reigning World Series champs.
The Yankees were laughably bad in racking up a season-high five errors.
They probably deserved to lose.
Just in time, their offensive firepower saved the night and the Yankees pulled out a 6-5, 10-inning win over the Houston Astros.
