Epic, yes. But President Trump will host a rally this evening in Wisconsin.

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?

R-E-L-A-X bros. I did not say "FReepers" I said "America's men." There have been ample polls and studies to show that men are more disengaged from politics than women and the #1 reason was SPORTS.

YOU patriotic activists all are not representative of most American men, sadly.

Game 5 is just about to begin.

Guess nobody on Free Republic cares about baseball. Hey Admin Mods I’ll do it myself. Judge just hit a 2-run homer. Yanks in the lead 1st inning!!!!! Dodgers gonna dodge all night and go home with tail between their lags. Another home run for the Yankees! Back to back homers!

Is it possible to move this thread to News Activism? Is there any reason why Free Republic does not want a thread for the MLB World Series? This matchup between the Yankees and the Dodgers just may become historic.

Yankees leading 4-0 second inning in the Bronx! Line drive by Verdugo drives in another run.

Would have been great if Trump could have made it to one of the games. I imagine he would have gotten a huge ovation from the Yankee fans.

Flashback:

Oct 30, 2016 chances to win:

#WorldSeries

• Indians: 85%

• Cubs: 15%

White House 🏛

• Clinton: 78.5%

• Trump: 21.4%

Heard a ‘Never has happened’ today. No team, up 3-0 in the series (LA Dodgers) has had to play a game 6, to win the series.

It’s game 5, Yankees lead 4-0, bottom of the 3rd.

…

BTW - the Trump commercials are great:

“Harris is for they/them, Donald Trump is for you”

[dfwgator]

I was kind of rooting for the Dodgers, but now that I think of it, maybe I should be rooting for the Yankees because Trump is from New York and Commie-La is from California.

5th inning errors by the Yankees inexcusable. This is the kind of stuff you work out in the minor leagues. Yet they have these 22-year-old kids playing infield positions who can’t figure out how to hang onto balls hit so slowly you don’t even need a glove to catch them. This is a disaster, a DEI baseball team, and the ruination of a once great franchise. I’m sick.

Serves ‘em right for cancelling Kate Smith.

NOPE😂
