Glad that the NY Yankees are leading tonight----

as the LA Dodgers' inevitable World Series victory would mean much less,
won against a team who hasn't shown up since Game One, until tonight!

These have been pretty good games--- but I expected more from the Yankees.
Luck wasn't with them for the first three games, that's for sure.

Wish I'd been able to see some of the Tigers playoff games--
I didn't even know they'd made it there for a while.

Yeah, those Grand Slams by each side were "pretty sloppy"! Jack Valentino Oct 2024 #6

Sorry, Yankee fans.

Looks like the Yanks decided to score most of their runs in Game Four! lol

Losing in a sweep would be an insult to the American League.

we can do it

over the first 3 games...looked like little league with some of the Yankees missing obvious cutoff throws.

Glad to see that the Yankees ejected the two fans who pried the ball out of Mookie Betts glove. The Athletic identified one of them as a season ticket holder.
