2024 World Series Thread

Posted on 10/25/2024 4:32:45 PM PDT by fhayek

The twelfth meeting of the Yankees and the Dodgers in the Fall Classic. A coast to coast championship. The Yankees are up 8 - 3 all time. Who will win it all this year? I say Yankees in 7.

The Yankees versus the Dodgers, man, when I was a kid I’d would have been all over this, now, I didn’t even know it was baseball season.

You have to take a break from the idiocy every once in a while, although, in sports, even that is not always possible.

The Dodgers spending another fortune to win a World Series trophy. Ridiculous.

As if the Yankees haven’t spent a fortune too. Get real.

Rooting interest in this World Series is like trying to pick a side in the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s....

While not a fan of the Dodgers, I dislike the Yankees even more.

I went to the Dodgers Stadium to watch the first time that Fernando pitched. It was fun.

Well, Lifetime Yankee fan here. Going back to 1973. It’s been a long time for us Yankee fans (comparatively). 2009 was the last trip. So, go Yankees!

Difficult question. Perhaps there's another way.

Dodger: the one who successfully evades a situation

Yankee: the one who modifies Ingenuity

Looks more like a match from the Parent Trap remake:

"Really? Who would've thought? My nanny, your butler."

Where's Beeks?

Root, root, root for the DODGERS!
If they don’t win, it’s a shame!

I will root for whoever wins the first game to end the series in four games and minimize advertising revenue for Fox and MLB.

My dad took me to Joe DiMaggio last game. I guess that makes me a long term fan.

DiMaggio’s last game. That is something. Nice story.

The Yanks look like sh!t, until they don’t. Stanton 2-run home run. 2-1 Yanks in the 6th.

Stanton went down and got a low ball—probably so low it was out of the strike zone.

That is particularly impressive since he hit a very high ball for a home run in the Cleveland series.

When he is hot there is no safe zone for the pitcher.
