Anyone outside of L.A. and Canada are only hate-watching it, against the Dodgers and their massive salary advantage.
Were the white and blue parts supposed to be an x?
I see the M then the red part looks like an e.
Thanks for the info. I wonder why they declined the Clinton invite.
Outside of going to a Rockies game for the free tickets and the beer and dogs, I’ve never watched a baseball game since the 70’s when watching the Greats at Riverfront stadium.
They thought he was going to offer them cigars.
Lol scary! Or that they might have to use his sink. Eeek.
LOL they had some taste back then.
At the time the sink thing hadn’t been a known though. We found out about that during his second term. At that time in 1993 the one scandal we knew about ole Bill was the Gennifer Flowers affair.
Expos, Montréal, Baseball
Glad to see the Blue Jays win, and hopefully take the Series, but I sure miss the Expos!
I haven't watched a single game since.
Without the Expos the Blue Jays wouldn’t exist. It was the pennant race of 1973 between the Expos and the Mets which the Mets won that made the city of Toronto go nuts for baseball and seriously pursue a franchise. They got an agreement in principle to buy the SF Giants late in 1975 only to have a judge stop the sale. Sound familiar? Anyways Toronto kept looking. When the Seattle Pilots bolted to Milwaukee to become the Brewers after only one season Seattle had a longstanding lawsuit against the American League. To make the lawsuit disappear the American League awarded another franchise to Seattle. The trouble was that would give the AL 13 teams so they wanted another to make it an even number. Toronto was jumping up and down saying pick us...and thus the Blue Jays were born but the real birth was the city going nuts for the Expos in that pennant run of 1973.
Not easy to keep up on the escapades of ol’ Slick. I suspect we’re going to find out about a lot more, very soon.
I have four siblings in California. None are Dodgers fans. That’s O.K., I’ve never been a Yankees or a Met’s fan.
Game 2 is in the books. Dodgers win 5-1 and tie the series 1-1.
The Dodgers’ historic World Series Game 3 victory, by the numbers
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays with a 6-5, 18-inning win in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night, producing a lengthy list of records topped by Shohei Ohtani as they took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup.
Ohtani was the Dodgers’ designated hitter a day before he is to pitch in Game 4 and had one of the most memorable games at the plate in World Series history.
Here are numbers to know....
The Dodgers set a Series record by using 10 pitchers...This game matched the longest in World Series history by innings...6 hours, 39 minutes....Ohtani doubled in the first inning, homered in the third, hit an RBI double in the fifth and a tying solo homer in the seventh. He was intentionally walked in the ninth, 11th, 13th and 15th innings, then walked unintentionally on four pitches in the 17th. He tied the record shared by three people who reached that many times in regular-season games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau: Max Carey on July 7, 1922, Johnny Burnett on July 10, 1932, and Stan Hack on Aug. 9, 1942...
