4-3 and 3-3 are the same. Can’t get to 4-3 without going 3-3..

[alstewartfan]

Thanks, but I thought that Dr. Fauxi is SCIENCE. lol

[Vermont Lt]

Did they?

LOL…,.everyone in New England remembers that! Then we swept the Cards.

We do it once every 86 years, whether we need it or not.

Dodgers decimated starting pitching is down to a trade deadline pickup and two others who spent most of the season on IR but did enough to allow the bullpen to finish games. But yesterday they had to do a bullpen game and chose to use the back end guys to do it sacrificing one game of their 3 game lead to rest their better arms for the remainder of the series. Smart move given the situation but I fear it may have given the Yanks a boost of confidence that could continue. We shall see.

I’m not a fan of either team, but I did watch some of the WS last night, and I saw the Grand Slam. What a comeback, at least for one game, anyway! I guess I’ll root for New York. Anthony Rizzo, a former member of the Cubs World Series team is there, so I’ll root for them.

[Fledermaus]

That was some lousy pitching by the Dodgers last night. Too many walks.

[T.B. Yoits]

People still believe the games are real.

[devere]

They have a 10% chance.

Not just Democrats:

Yankees at Brooklyn Dodgers 10/3/56:

U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower takes a break during election season to attend Game 1 of the World Series at Ebbets Field

On this day in 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower made a grand entrance before the opening game of the World Series at Ebbets Field, where the New York Yankees faced off against the Brooklyn Dodgers!

People still believe the games are real. p>Bet you thought the moon landing was a fake too, right?

And Mike Tyson's KO's are pre-arranged by Cus D'Amato?

BTW, Tyson's fighting again--at age 57--on November 15, in Texas, against Jake Paul.

[4Runner]

4-3 and 3-3 are the same.

Boy oh boy, that sounds too much like the Democrats and their 2+3=6.

[4Runner]

Let's try it one more time:

[T.B. Yoits]

Nice. The fallacy of False Equivalence - equating fixing sports games with faking lunar landings.

As for boxing matches, there have been fixed boxing matches as long as there's been a sport of boxing.

[Bullish]

Sure, it could happen... But it won’t.

[Bullish]

Yankee tears running down their fans’ cheeks is like nectar to a Red Sox fan.

Trust me, there's plenty of Dodger fans here in LA who feel exactly the same way... As a rule.

[T.B. Yoits]

Every series that goes 3-3 has to go to 4-3 because the series can’t end on a tie.

• Yankees fans who interfered during World Series play banned from Game 5 [10/30/2024]
• Yankees Fan Commits Most Egregious Interference in the History of Sports [0:29 Video] [10/30/2024]
• What does the MLB fan interference rule say? Is what the Yankees fans did to Mookie Betts legal? [10/30/2024]

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

My typo, you are correct.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

(But in my “defense”, all series that go 4-3 first have to go to 3-3!)

[Bullish]

Do you really think you need to inject stinking politics into a sports thread? Many many of us, like myself have already voted and are busy telling everyone we can to go vote for Trump too. Why are you even clicking on a sports thread if your so worried about politicking? Don't you think you have better, more important work to do?

In short, we'll discuss the World Series because we love baseball, since you couldn't care less about it then you really should just stay out and mind your own beeswax.
