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.

“ Yankees can go to hell for getting rid of Kate Smith’s “God Bless America”.

Yankees play God Bless America every 7 inning

“Man, if you don’t like this stuff, then you must be a knuckle dragging soccer fan.”

Lifelong Cardinals fan. Last time I watched an entire game, was 2018. The new rules (DH in NL, man on 2nd to start extra innings) completely killed what little was left of my interest. Not to mention 4 1/2 hr games, endless playoffs, interleague play, and November World Series games. A pox on their house.

Did you notice the call on the home run was the same as Vin Scully’s call on Gibson’s Home Run?......”SHE IS GONE!”

No. What is the story. Is that a bad thing?

They use traditional renditions

Was she a Trump supporter or something? (I know she’s long gone)

OK, Game 2 of the World Series. I think we all can second guess Aaron Boone for putting a pitcher who had not pitched for over a month in the most crucial moment of the baseball season (thus far). But, well, that's baseball, Suzyn.

To everyone who objects to this thread, the World Series, baseball, or professional sports in general, it is duly noted. But,

1. Some of us still harbor pleasant memories of the World Series and sports in general.
2. Watch or don't watch. It's your life and your time. Go forth and live your life as you see fit.
3. Baseball has always been better than the people who own it, play it, or present it on TV. That's the way I feel. Again, if you don't like it, fine. I can't watch 15 seconds of NASCAR. Doesn't mean it has no value, just none to me.
4. The finances of this, or any other sport have no relevance to me (other than the price of a ticket to the event). Neither do the personal or political lives of the participants. If Mickey Mantle had been a communist, I would still regard him as one of the greatest players to ever put on a uniform. Same goes for movies, music, books.... I throw it into the mix when I decide to devote my idle time to something, but, here, baseball, at least for me, transcends that.
5. I know this is (largely) a political site, and, I cannot expect politics to vanish. But we are a "Free Republic". You do you, and I will do me. Freedom. That said, if you need to criticize something, criticize away. It's your dime.

So, LET'S go YANKS!. Play Ball!

Dislocated shoulder sliding into 2nd base.

He has 1 days rest before game 3 in NY.

I would expect that his status is doubtful for at least game 3 and most likely the remainder of the series.
