I'm going to stop liking you for a little bit. lol

I hope Judge breaks out of his mini-slump. He's struggled in the playoff so far.
I won’t take it personally. I wouldn’t worry about Judge. LA’s starting rotation is Buehler/Flaherty/Yamamoto and then pray for rain. At least you guys have a respectable fully armed rotation.

I'm still not over the '63 World Series. lol Koufax was as dominant as any pitcher ever in the Word Series. Drysdale was also stellar. In the four game. the Yankees scored a total of four runs.

'77 might have been the best for me as Reggie Jackson was anointed Mr. October with his HR's.

Yankees have starters Cole and Rodon, but neither has been consistent throughout the year and you never know if you're going to get Good Clay or Bad Clay out of the bullpen.

Koufax as told to not throw curveballs to Mickey. He threw two fastballs right by him before going to Uncle Charlie. He buckled Mantle’s knees before looking at Roseboro & the umpire and saying “how the hell am I supposed to hit that?!”

I appreciate the painful reminders, but let's talk about the '77 series. lol

sorry i can’t feel bad for Yankee fans claiming to have painful reminder. This is a painful reminder. And remember Tony Kubek who was on the call that WS was a Yankee his entire career:

You know what no one talked about? Watch Munson and Russell. Munson hustles back to beat Russell to the bag and then without hesitation takes off for third before Russell throws. If Russell doesn't try for the DP, he can nail Munson (RIP) at third.

Reggie knew what he was doing. He knew he was going to be out so why not try to disrupt the play? Tony was a great SS for the Yankees in the 60's. He and Bobby Richardson (after playing coached at South Carolina) were a pretty good duo.

I'm ready for this series, and as much as a lot of people might not like it because it's Evil Empire vs Evil Empire West, it's still likely going to be good. If people don't want to watch, that's fine. I don't really care who wins, but if I'm leaning in one direction of the other, I'm going Dodgers.

Ohtani and Judge. Generational stuff, however you feel about the franchises.

How much are tickets?
Anyone going?
It’s like a Taylor Swift concert. I saw where seats for Game 1 are > $1,1100. It’ll be like the Super Bowl in that most seats will be bought by corporations & the wealthy.

Sensing a pattern here for this winter. Guardians employees are going to be in high demand. 92 wins, AL Central Champions, ALCS appearance. Payroll was just over $100K I believe.

Cabrera must feel bad. That was a fairly routine double play he whiffed and cost the win.
And that Dodgers fan interference was huge.

The AB of the game was Edman’s in the 10th. Ump screwed him twice but he still got on base. Think that was with one out too. He gets out there it’s over.

Keep passing it down….string ‘em together

Disappointed with an 0-2 hole. Yankees pitching was supposed to have an edge, but the Dodgers pitching has been stellar so far.

Judge is looking worse with each bat. Definitely pressing given the number of strikeouts.

It’s amazing what a day off and a fresh start in home stadium can do. Series is far from over. One good AB can change everything for a player. Betts was hearing all kinds of criticism in the NLDS before getting hot & shutting up the naysayers. As much as I fear it, I think Judge will awaken at some point.

You sure? lol

The Yankees are looking like they were happy just to get to the WS.

Where was this Yankees team during the Guardians series? If they played like they're playing now, the Guardians take the series in 5 or 6.
