Tough crowd . That series was must see tv start to finish . Got that “yips “hurdled cleared early . They are gonna make a serious run at a ring this year ..

Coach showed absolute trust in his team to preform , “Playing for outs “ ,etc and they all preformed(team). Winning with out the payrolled superstars impact is a very good thing . Mookie let ‘em all know he has seniority .

So much baseball left the leauge never cares about how you start (it is not remembered ) it’s all about the finish that’s the glory .. Why they are called “SUPERSTARS” both those are bonafide.

I hope the high quality of baseball continues throughout .. GOOD STUFF from both leagues. Sure feels like big brother will push a dodgers vs Yankees series on us ,Superstar battle .Be good for the world and the bankroll ..How I have been tailoring my bets at least .

edit: I am looking forward to the moment being big enough for Shohei to take the mound ..
Yes, a Dodgers vs NYY world series would be ideal, I'm sure it would generate a record amount of viewers and revenue for MLB.

I also think a Mets vs NYY would be an awesome world series as well, but would not have the same impact as Dodgers/NYY

My first memory of baseball was the "Miracle Mets" in 1969, I was 10 years old home sick with the measles and was cheering for the Mets

The last thing I want to see is for Cleveland to advance..... they do have a very decent team and are worthy contenders but I lost respect for them when they changed their name from the Indians.

Judge needs to put on his big boy pants and play like he we know he can.

I highly doubt that Ohtani will pitch this year, but I'm sure he will be ready for 2025 spring training.

World Series 2024 - LA Dodgers vs NY Yankees.

Top team in the NL vs the top team in the AL.

West vs East.

Ohtani vs Judge.

This ought to be a good one.....starts Friday Oct 25th

It was an exciting game, even with both teams making errors and some sloppy plays.

NYY scores a run in the top of the 10th to make it 3-2 but it ain't over until the fat lady sings.

Bottom of the 10th, Verdugo makes an unbelievable catch to put out Ohtani for the second out.

NY walks Mookie Betts which was likely a wise choice to pitch to Freeman instead....well maybe not so wise of a choice as Freddy knocks it out of the park for a walk-off grand slam.

Dodgers win 6-3

Not gonna lie .. little bit of a sweat end game 2… not much jus lil bit :) ….

we love it !!!
Not so good of news concerning Ohtani...would be a shame if he's out for the year.

As for the Yankees, it's a big hill to climb being down 2 games...other than Soto the entire team looked rather pathetic, especially Judge.

Wow, I never would have guessed the Yankees would be down 3-0, in fact I thought the series would go 7 games.

No team has ever come back from 3-0 in a World Series... it happened in a AL championship series, and 4 times in the NHL Stanley Cup

So it ain't over yet, but NYY are in a deep dark hole.......even with Ohtani not being 100% healthy

Yea i was concerned that the quality of baseball would dip after the dodgers Padres series … Man o man has it ever …..

yea not worried about #17 he is a kid and this is his 1st experience anything he was bringing to the table was just a bonus . Regardless of his perceived stature this was only a learning experience . His post season value is in future for us …what sucks is now he won’t pitch this year . I have it on good authority if the moment was right he was gonna go .

Got my broom ready !!!!!!! Let’s seal the deal and start this dynasty …..These boys have the potential to put rings on the fingers of one hand …. Let’s just get this W 1st and then we make a run at legendary …

The Yankees looked like the team they actually are, even if Soto & Judge didn't have their best game the rest of the team step up to the plate.

I'm just glad we get another game to watch as I'm addicted to baseball.

That was a network money game . Not taking anything away from the Yankees(well done) .

Rewatch it with a critical eye . It is really pretty funny … It is the entertainment business

That's all folks, the Yankees were looking good being up 5-0 but the Dodgers dug down deep and won the game & the 2024 World Series fair and square.......Congratulations to the LA Dodgers!
