I legit thought the Dodgers were going to blow it in the first round against the Padres, they were hanging on by a thread for a moment.

Dodgers - 98 - 64
Phillies - 95 - 67
Yankees - 94 - 68

wolves are one of best teams in the nba and you have one of the best young studs in the league...

i dont want to see you come back around when the Twins are good although, to your point, might not be in our lifetime lol

Is it wrong that i will be rooting for the Yankees against the LA Draftkings?

I'm a Red Sox fan and i feel like I'm breaking some kind of laws here by doing that.....

LOL, had no idea that the Dodger hate has reached that level.

Remember though, they're still just regular season Wonders until they win the Series in a full season.

I wouldn't say hate as much as disgust.

Clearly MLB has different sets of rules for different people.

No, the 2020 Series win is legit, just like the Lakers was that year. But people like to put asterisks on things and just want to see them do it in a 'normal' season in front of a full house.

BTW, the Redskins also won in a shortened year (by player strike). So whenever a season is going to have an interruption, then I feel confident of my team's success.

I thought the same rules apply to all teams and players?

I just want my Yankees in the World Series. Anything after that is gravy. Sorry to BizCat, but there’s nothing sexy about either Cleveland matchup in the WS.

Mets really do need to wake up though, and fast.

The reaction in the booth for both home runs.

This isn't the Pete Rose era MLB.

MLB let off an entire team of cheaters in Houston during a championship winning season (against the Dodgers.)

Ohtani probably didn't bet on baseball or sports. The CBA allows deferred contracts, the players and owners literally agree to it.

Damn, Mets heard me lol

Did anyone hear about the crazy historic stat from yesterday?

It marked the second time, to the exact date, that a player named David hit a walk-off, game-winning HR in the ALCS against the New York Yankees. David Ortiz in 2004, now David Fry in 2024. 20 years to the date.

They sure did. They have to regroup, enjoy the off day and go at ‘em hard on Sunday.

A few of my buds and me were reminiscing about that series the other day, I think I lost 5 years off my life from watching it all

From the absolute low of being smashed in game 3! To almost being upset with winning game 4 , to edge of my seat madness for games 5 and 6! With game 7 being a no doubt lock and coast for the most part with Red Sox Jesus having a monster game.

[sfmarine]

Yeah…we don’t discuss the ‘04 ALCS in my house.

SCARLETT: I don't have a Mets hat
JOST: Just wear any hat
SCARLETT: Wait I got it

For anyone curious about the throwback turtlenecks.

Win or lose, Giancarlo Stanton has been clutch this postseason.

Plagued by so many injuries but he’s finally getting the recognition he deserves. It’s fun to witness.

Some crazy stats as well

-16 postseason home runs in 36 games passing Babe Ruth on the Yankees playoff home run list.

-on pace for 72 home runs in a regular 162-game season.
