    Honestly don’t care who wins as don’t like either franchise but the players on the Dodgers are way more likable IMO.

    And watching Judge choke will never get old. I hope they never win one with him and he continues to be ass.

    Found myself kinda rooting for NY at one point cause I hate the dodgers so much. Then saw a barstool video of Yankees fans so upset watching the GS in real time and that made me happy. Then I realized if I had been watching a barstool video of Dodger fans crying that would make me equally happy. I’m literally just rooting for suffering. Who am I?

    anyway, go ‘stros

    What a questionable strategy by Boone. Why would you walk Betts to get to Freeman? With the bases load a walk ties the game, and a single wins the game.

    Exactly.. not a fan of either team, but the Yankees are more dislikeable.

    Keep them 27 Club with a long championship drought.

    Sorry the Dodgers have some Astros players. Teoscar Hernandez and Kike Hernandez. Miss those guys. Be happy for them.

    I loathe the Dodgers and their fans but I can’t ****ing stand the Yankees and their fans. They’re a notch above LA for me. Smug pricks that think they’re gods gift to the baseball world. Cashman what a pathetic prick he is. I can deal with Dodger fans in fact I’ve gotten along with them but Yankee fan is too much especially when they go on about Altuve…..

    Cole and Soto might be my two least favorite players in the league. Verdugo is a b**** too.

    I’ve always kind of liked Mookie and Freddie. Really don’t think there’s a single player on the Yankees I even kind of like though

    The runners were on 2nd and 3rd so a single was winning it regardless. Probably should have at least pitched to Betts and hoped he chased but he definitely had a better chance of getting Freddie out.

    That said, the real question is what was Boone thinking bringing Cortes out there. Had Robbie Ray flashbacks as soon as I saw that.

    Teoscar, yes.

    Kike, probably not. Just because he was pretty annoying when he was with Boston.

    Unless you’re from New York, you have NO excuse to root for the Yankees. Do you really want to see them win a 28th WS title? I certainly as hell don’t. Plus my 81 year old father has been a Dodgers fan since he was 9 years old, so it’s a no brainer to root for the Dodgers.

    Freeman is a good dude and smartly Mookie has kept his mouth shut which he should but the Yankees did some real yapping and come to find out……

    You didn't fall in love with Ferguson?

    I actually forgot about Cole. No way in hell I'm cheering for NYY.

    Betts and Freeman are cool, it's just amazing we managed to lose to both of them, plus Soto while they won championships.

    '19 still hurts

    Hate both teams but Dodgers have 2 Japanese players and Freeman has a Canadian citizenship. Any other Canadians playing? Also work with a Yankees fan. Would never hear the end of it even though I kept my mouth shut after the Astros won in '22.

    Didn't he bat .215 in the 2017 with the Dodgers?

    Hate Yankees so fking much that rooting for Dodgers all the way. Lesser of evils. I would like to not like Freeman but guy is legit nice guy and great great player for a long time. Even those pants at armpits Clint Eastwood style does't bother me :).

    What I remember he thought the Atlanta extension was just matter of time and then he read about Olson trade and extension and got the message loud and clear. Making 27m in LA not a bad 2nd choice.
    Mookie still making 33m in 2032, that might not work for Dodgers if he loses too much of that natural small guy physical ability. Well they have all $ in the world.

    Love Yankees losing this series even more after Cashman talking **** about Astros. He did't build that 1990s-early 2000s dynasty and managed to buy 1 ring in 2009 in sit.where he use to get anybody he wanted from the market. Dude is just trying to rewrite his legacy to something it is't.

    Also I have felt like 15 years Yankees prospects are way overrated year after another and FO's count prospects as money/capital so would't be suprised there has been Yanks extra or some funny business on those ratings of players.
