I predict the Royals in four, the Padres in five and on paper, the guardians and Phillies in five, but in the actual games, the Mets and tigers in five.

What would be a more compelling, dramatic World Series?  Enlighten us! 

Yankees vs Phillies or Yankees vs Mets

Who is murdering the Royals and the winner of the Det-Clev series?  The Yanks will be the first team eliminated.

As for the Yankees, he typed disgustedly with a sigh, they have the worst bullpen of any of the remaining teams in either league, a one man starting rotation, and an offense with seven stiffs and two superstars, one of whom doesn't hit in the postseason.

very happy to be proven wrong, but I still didn't watch a single pitch.

"Overwhelming" indeed: 😍

Who Is Shohei Ohtani's New Wife?

When the Brooklyn Dodgers moved to LA they temporarily played at the Coliseum.  There are still a few folks around here that attended games there, but most of that old timey nostalgia is long gone.

That said, I look forward to an  exciting world series .

Had the Mets pulled off the comeback I would have been afraid of them because it would have continued their string of miracle finishes and because they had a fairly well balanced team that had flaws but could beat you in different ways.

That being said, I think the Dodgers will be a tougher opponent than the Mets would've been.

Yet I am very happy with the outcome because I think that if it were Yankees-Mets, the winner would get Soto.  The Mets have the richer, more aggressive owner, and a better farm system at this point and Judge is 32 and Cole is 34, so if the Mets won and appeared to have a brighter future, it would've been a much easier sale to make to him than it will be now, whether or not the Yankees beat the Dodgers.

Of course, Steve Cohen will WAY outbid Hal Steinbrenner, but hopefully Soto will feel that he can scrape by on somewhere between $600 and $700 million as well as he can on $750 to $850 million and will want to stay where he already knows he is happy.

Ken Griffey Sr. & Jr., the first father and son to play in a major league game together (Tim Raines Sr. & Jr. later did it, tI), will attend the Lakers' opening opening night, when LeBron & Bronny James will become the NBA's first such duo if Bronny gets into the game.

The first time this occurred was in hockey when the legendary Gordie Howe and sons Mark and Marty played for the 1979-80 Hartford Whalers.

Had dinner with Lucky and his spouse last night while we watched the opening game. However, I had to leave at the end of the 9th inning with the score tied, so when I got home and turned on the TV again, I had missed the historic grand slam win at the end of the the 10th.

Nestor Cortez should be shamed for that last pitch.  Bases loaded and he tees it up.  Unforgiveable.  

I knew that was going to happen. He hasn't pitched in 5 weeks. This is one reason for minor league rehabs. You have to get your mechanics and location all in sync again. Same thing happened with Senga as well with the Mets.

Getting ready to not watch the next-to-last Yankee game of the year...

I bet he struck out three times during the Halloween parade.

Getting ready to not watch what will probably be the last world series game of Aaron Judge's career, unless he approves a trade to restock the farm system and reset the luxury tax after Cole opts out and is allowed to leave and Soto signs elsewhere.

How come I’m not feeling any Dodgers-love in this thread???? Do I need to keep posting pics of my crush and the best catcher in the league to drum up interest? 😉

There. 

Are you happy now? 

Austin Barnes' backup homered.
