Yankees v Dodgers World Series

Not too sure how this will work out 7 games maybe or perhaps a sweep for the Yankees? Either way it’s bound to be a great series. The Yankees have that Oakland As look about them from the 1990s with Canseco, McGuire and Rickey Henderson they really were a powerful force. I think Dodgers may actually have the edge pitching wise especially in their Bullpen but it’s going to be a very evenly matched series.
 
I'm a big baseball fan, but I was heartbroken when my Mets were beaten in the last round, so I don't have any stake in this now and I probably won't watch any of it. Especially as the TV broadcasters have such a hard-on for Ohtani that it's difficult to concentrate on anyone or anything else.
 
Was a real shame about the Mets, but what a ride! I loved watching all their games in the post season….you just had no clue what was going to happen next!

I fancy the Yankees for the World Series though. I hope it ends up being a good series whatever happens.
 
Wow lots of drama, lots of great plays. I think Yankees will be kicking themselves on that loss. Maybe they pushed it too much with all the pitching changes and the error at the end was awful—especially after what looked like a game winning catch on Ohtani
 
Hoping for a Dodgers win. Yankees have already won the World Series 27 times which is 16 time more than the next best.
 
A sport I have tried to get into, just can't.

Remember being in the states a few years back and watched a game on TV live......just couldn't get interested in it.

I can happily sit and watch Test Match cricket, but baseball.....🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Each to their own👍
 
Looking at the video it wasn’t going over the fence - the call looked correct. Plus it was reviewed.
The fan catches it and brings his hands forward. That ball looked like it could have hit the top of the wall and gone over. I know they reviewed it but they don't always get them right. It may have fallen in so I guess they give the fielding team the benefit of the doubt.
 
I'm a White Sox fan. In a record-breaking season we were really unlucky not to make the post season this year. Next year we must surely be WS favorites? 😁

After losing 121 games, it's going to take the White Sox a few seasons before they're involved in the play off games. But hope springs eternal...

If there was relegation in MLB I’m sure the (S)white Sox would probably playing somewhere near Bognor Regis bowling league lol 😝 nice you’re dreaming of the playoffs!!

Think the tone of this post has been missed...to quote Kryton in Red Dwarf:

Ha there’s always one.

Went to see the Bluejays earlier this year, thoroughly enjoyed it.
I’m sure you did and I would be keen to go to a game myself. I’m going to a basketball game next week despite knowing nothing about the sport.

It’s just amusing the Americans name it the World Series.

Well in fairness that term was in use since the late 19th century and there was a desire to grow the game and make it a true world championship.

But I just knew as soon as I opened the thread someone would have to make comment on it! 😁
