    Yankees gave the two tickets they took away from those bozos to a little boy with cancer and his mother.

    Totally classless organization.

    I'm happy I don't have to hear another world series game called by the idiot announcers on FOX. At least, not for a while.

    Congrats to the World Series Champ LA Dodgers. LA played clean baseball and the NY didn’t.

    On to football, oh wait the Giants are terrible.
    On to hockey, oh wait the Isles can’t score.
    On to basketball, oh wait the Nets stink.

    How many days until spring training?

    Great backdrop!

    The clearly better team won. They Yankees didn't even deserve to be there. It's only fitting that their manager lost them game 1 and their boneheaded fielding lost them game 5. Not to take anything away from the Dodgers. It does suck that it's the Dodgers, but it is what it is. I'm not sure they could have beat any of the NL teams.

    The worst part is that winning the AL Pennant all but ensures Boone's contract renewal.

    The silver lining is that they still did better than the Red Sox, which is always the low bar for me.

    They have a lot of decisions to make in the off-season, especially resigning Soto. They also need a batting coach and a 3B coach, IMO. Blake is the only one worth keeping.

    I streamed the radio broadcast the entire post-season. I knew better.

    In the top of the 5th, why were there 5 unearned runs? Betts and Freeman both had hits and scored as a result of other hits. Is it that there should have been 3 outs when those runs scored because of the 2 errors in the inning?

    Yes. Plus Cole/Rizzo had a brain fart on a ground ball to first that could have been the third out that was not technically an error. It was a team effort. Cole was cruising with a no-hitter entering that inning.

    But this series ended with Boone's game 1 blunder.

    That 5th inning was one for the ages.

    I had to run out to get a bite to eat during the 4th inning. I chose this local eatery, Chompie's, as I wanted a hot beef brisket simmered in beef jus. About 15 people seated -- mainly older than 55 crowd, they sat us in a booth with a TV hanging above. Then, I remembered what Chompie's was about...

    Chompie's is a family-owned, full-service restaurant, New York style deli, bakery, famous bagels, and catering service since 1979.
    The place is decorated with New York imagery.



    Yeah, everyone in the place was glued to the tv screens. All Yankees fans there. That 5th inning tasted great!! There was an older Dodgers fan and his wife whooping it up and hollering! It was an unexpected World Series memory that I will have forever. Returned home with a full belly to watch the rest of history being made.

    Not that it tarnished LA's victory, but I'm guessing they would have preferred a different route to their win. I would definitely have preferred that they celebrate on their own field.

    I do wonder what the players thought about it. For me, it was perfect that the final game gave Yankees (and some of their fans) hope that they could pull something off, then witnessing the Dodgers celebrating their championship in the middle of Yankee Stadium. Perfect, I tell ya. The Dodgers have their hometown parade on Friday to celebrate with the fans.

    Did I mention that the Dodgers suck almost as much as the BoSox?

    Huh? Say again... I couldn't hear you because of all the Dodgers 2024 World Series celebrations happening around me.

    Hmm, sounds familiar.

    I'm happy for Ohtani. A talent like that deserves to be on a winning team, even if they do suck. Makes one feel even worse for Mike Trout, though, huh?

    Saying a team sucks after they have just won the World Series over your team reveals so much about you.

    It's a fucking joke, for Christ's sake! Didn't you not notice the wink icon? I guess I have to add "I'm only joking" in bold colored text after what is obviously a joke.

    FFS.

    I invite you to read through my comments.

    It's pretty clear that I gave LA all the credit they deserve, the Yankees all the blame they deserve, and didn't whine about conspiracies or any other childish stuff.
