I hope for Gerrit Cole's sake that the Yankees win this game. Guys named Mookie hitting to first base...

If the Dodgers win, they will be showing that clip of Mookie sprinting full speed to first base at every youth baseball clinic going forward.

5 unearned runs. Judge dropped a routine fly ball. Volpe error at 3rd. Cole doesn't cover first, player safe.

Man, WTF just happened??? Yanks were up by 5 and I went upstairs to put my baby to sleep and then I come back down, and it's tied!!!

Inning from hell, as my dad put it.

If the Yankees had just executed fundamentals none of that would have happened. Horrible. If they lose because of that - it would be the cap to a heartbreaker.

Same here - I took a shower and did a double take at the score.

What a total self induced collapse 🤬

Mookie Betts, man. That guy is a closer.

It's cool when hustle, defense and fundamentals make the difference in big games.

What a sh*tshow. Yanks didn't deserve to get any further in this series. :(

Your avatar is quite appropriate with this post.

I thought it was interesting that when Volpe grounded out for the first out in the 9th, with the Yankees down 7-6, a couple of people left their seats behind home plate. Then, when Wells struck out, a whole bunch of people left.

So Verdugo, who represents the tying run, comes to plate with 2 outs in the 9th -- and people are leaving behind him.

I gotta say, that's pretty Bush League of Yankees fans. Those seats behind home plate run cost around $20,000 apparently, so probably the hedge fund bros, but still.

I just finished watching "The Comeback" also. I thought it was really well done.

I didn't realize that the 04 Red Sox were such a jolly bunch of miscreants.

Also reminded me of why A-Rod never really got popular in New York. I had forgotten how he slapped the ball out of Arroyo's glove.

And then denied it, showing the umpire how it was supposedly part of his normal running motion.

49 runs were scored by both teams.

Neither team scored more than 25, 1/2 of the necessary amount to receive my blessing.

I really am not a fan of either squad.

My prediction was accurate and I am not disappointed.:D

A-Rod was an unlikeable chode, but at least he played hard and smart and was always looking for some sort of an edge (insert PED joke here). Unlike this present team, which is mostly likeable but is filled with a bunch of guys who seem to stand in the batters box and stare at 330 foot fly balls and are constantly out of position defensively.

I have a hard time deciding whether to blame it on the mostly absent coaching (Pitching coach gets a pass here, he’s done wonders with what he was handed), or the players themselves, or just the general lack of leadership.

I have confirmed that not even Frank B. has used "chode" before.

Nice to have you two stepping up and taking some of the blame.


They all probably had babies to put to sleep or showers to take.

LOL
