Twins

A random thought just popped into my head. Why haven't the Dodgers tried to extort a new stadium out of the taxpayers. That stadium was built in the 50's when they moved from New York.

Very good game last night. Always good to see the Yankees lose. Now the loud mouth, holier than thou fans can really scream for Boones head on a platter. There is certainly a lot of star power players on display, Ohtani, Betts, Judge, Soto, Stanton, Freeman.

I went to a Dodgers game back in the 70's.  The freeway was almost at a dead stop and still couldn't see the stadium.  We follow the cars into a parking area and walk through some gates and there is the stadium below us.  Pretty cool ball park. They were proud to only charge $2 per ticket.

  hey dutchy..........you didnt hurt yourself with that random thought did ya..... hope not!!!!

i agree alot of big name players in that series........guess when ya spend the money that's what you get!!!!!

question....is that Betts that playing now..........Mookie's kid?????

[dutchboy]

No it's Mookie himself.

[glenn57]

No it's Mookie himself.

thanks!!!!!!

Yamamoto only gives up 1 hit & the NYY lose 4-2. Teams with a 2-0 lead have won the WS 80% of the time.

I just read on The Athletic that Ohtani will play game 3 after getting hurt sliding into second base in the 8th inning last night.

If the Yankees can get into this thing they will have Cole available to pitch, LA has nobody that can match him when he's on.

[Gunner55]

  Cole was really good on his 1st start too, but their bullpen wasn't. Judge better start hitting.......& soon.....................or it may be a short series.

[dutchboy]

If they can get Cole to a meaningful game I think Boone rides him like Secretariat. The question is can they get to that game.

Hindsight is 20/20.  I heard talking heads on the radio this morning hypothesizing that Cashman made the call when to pull Cole and Boone is just managing the game the way Cashman wants him to.  Who knows.  I have no opinion.

I can't imagine how hard it must be for Derek Jeter to share a microphone with that lying cheating pig A-Fraud.

[Gunner55]

  Will this be the 5th time that NYY get swept in the WS? The last time that happened was 1976 by Bench & Roses' Big Red Machine.

so where's the series at......like 3-0 or 2-0 ???????

i did watch it a bit here and there but really havent followed it close???

[mike89]

3-0

I'm sure Derek has figured out how to deal with ARod - sharing the left side of the infield with him for so many years.

Its too bad that big broadcast TV insists on hiring the game's biggest retired stars instead of searching out the guys who make the best broadcasters and tell the best stories.  Where are all the guys like Jim Kaat?  Why won't the networks hire them?  (Actually, we all know why.  Because sheeple want STARS.)  So, we get stuck with Jeter, ARod, and Big Papi - and on the football side - Tom Brady.

There's still more baseball to be played as the bottom of the order for NYY & Torres do most of the damage in a 11-4 win. I hope the 2 guys that interfered with Bett's catch can't get in the stadium tonight either.  I don't think they got to see the end of the 2nd inning last night before they had security showing them the door. Hope they got their money's worth as the cheapest ticket that I could find for tonight's game is $460.
