    Whatever I think of the Dodgers, for me they’re an infinitely better option than the Yanks.

    If the Yankees never win another game it’ll be a thousand years too soon. 
    Fuck those obnoxious, arrogant, self important, smug, pyjama wearing, beard banning pricks.

    And A-Roid played for them, so fuck them again. 
    🤪
    I hate the beard ban, it's so dumb. Carlos Rodon looks like an embarrassment without his quality White Sox beard. 

    As a neutral, I'm happy this is how it shook out. Definitely want the Dodgers to win just from growing up in LA and having a lot of Dodger fan friends. And I just generally dislike the Yankees like every non-Yankees fan.But it's nice to see the two best teams in the World Series. Last year felt like the two hot teams made it to the World Series. This year we get the Judge/Soto Ohtani/Betts mega-showdown. I like having it alternate between the two. I would hate it if the favorites made it every year, but I like it happening some of the time.  Should be a good series.

    This is a good shout actually. As long as the Yanks lose! 😎

    I just love being hated. The reason for the Yankees is it’s the 1st baseball game I went to and have been into baseball iever since, so the Yankees are my team I’ve seen them many times because I love NYC and also seen them play at other MLB parks when I’ve visited the US… And for the record I hate Man City and I’m not a fan of Basketball and Ice Hockey’😀.

    Great finish to game 1.
    First walk off grand slam in World Series history.
    That the Yanks were one out away from winning makes it sweeter.

    Go Dodgers!

    Wow, what a finish to the game last night. Looked like the Yankees had it won when they went 3-2 up in the 10th but Freeman's Grand Slam wins it 6-3 for the Dodgers. Shades of Kirk Gibson. Go Dodgers.

    You like who you like so you don’t have to defend yourself against anyone. 



    But really, the Yankees?

    An incredible ending to Game 1. Delighted that it will have broken Yankee hearts.

    Fine margins.
    Game 1, Dodgers, behind in the ninth tenth have the bases loaded - grand slam. 
    1-0 Dodgers
    Game 2, Yankees, behind in the ninth have the bases loaded - three runners stranded. 
    2-0 Dodgers

    Got a bit scary at the end but Dodgers hang on for a 4-2 win. Would be nice to win it in New York but no doubt the Yankees will fight back
    Long way to go yet.

    Dodgers win 4-2 again in game 3 to lead 3-0.
    I’m very happy about this. 
    The only thing that bothers me is the fact that nobody has ever come back from 3-0 down to win the World Series - and I can’t help but think the Yanks are bound to be the first to do it…

    Well if one of them have to win it, a humiliating 4-0 sweep is the best way for the other one to not win, especially if that sweep finishes Infront of their own fans.

    Fuck The Dodgers, but also, Fuck The Yankees!

    Freddie Freeman just became the first player ever to hit a home run in six consecutive World Series appearances

    Some braindead Yankee fan will now be chucked out of the stadium in the first inning because he thought it’d be ok to try to wrestle the ball off of Mookie Betts.
    I wonder how much the thick twat paid for his ticket?

    Yankees take game four 11-4.

    Dodgers lead 3-1. Final home game for the Yankees tonight.

    Hilarious self destruction from the yanks in the 5th inning as they throw away a 5-0 lead. It was like an amateur team came out for the inning: Judge dropped a simple routine catch, Volpe messed up a straightforward throw for a forceout at 3rd then Rizzo was so far off of 1st he couldn’t make a simple ‘ground ball to first’ out because Cole (whose pitching had been pretty flawless all game) didn’t bother covering 1st base. Dodgers piled on 5 runs in the inning to rub it in and came back again to take the lead in the 8th - a lead they hung on to.

    Dodgers win the World Series 4-1.
    Dodgers are definitely the lesser of two evils, but mainly it was marvellous to see the Yanks choke so badly.

    Went to bed at bottom of 3rd with it 5-0 Yankees. 

    Was pleasantly surprised this morning

    Nearly did the same. I reckon I’d’ve given up if they’d got nothing in the 5th.

    Brilliant that the Dodgers have done it, but what a mess from the Yankees in the top of the 5th to let us back in. Add in the catchers interference call in the 8th to set us up to take the 7-6 lead it was a game the Yankees should have won. Glad it didn't have to go back to LA but with Yamamoto likely to start Game 6 I think we would have got it done then anyway.

    Lovely to see the Yankees choke it away
