Fox is carrying the game. Dodgers vs. Yankees. For which team will you be rooting?
Comments
I'm going to cheer on LA.
Yankees always. I was born in New York, NY thank God my parents were smart enough to move when I was four.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be Bucky Dent. That sealed it for me.
Don't really have a favorite but am waiting for one of the announcers to sing the "Wabash Cannonball" like ole Dizzy Dean use to do on TV back in the 60's.

Wow, what a finish.
Bottom of tenth, bases loaded, 2 outs, and boom, a grand slam.
Dodgers take game one 6 to 3
Right Joe, I don't watch much baseball anymore but what a game!
We follow the Mariners all season, but not other teams/games. Then for World Series pretty much coin toss, pick one.
As I might have posted before, I wish that the Yankees & ND football never win another game. Before I get trashed here let me explain. When I was a little kid around 1949 I became interested in sports. All I ever heard for years was the Yankees & ND. I go sick of hearing about them. And now you know the rest of the story. 75 years later, I still feel the same.
Jeff, it's just the opposite in so. w. Va. as I'm surprised to find so many Yankees fans. They say that growing up the only games televised were the Yankees, so they became fans.
As an Atlanta Braves fan, I wish they both could lose.
Go Dodgers
Here we go. Game 2 underway.
This series is beginning to seem like a home run derby.
Oh no, Ohtani just got injured. Hurt his wrist sliding into 2nd. If he's out it will be a huge loss to the Dodgers.
Game 2 goes to the Dodgers. 4 to 2
2-0 for this series
Another exciting ending, though it's hard to top last night. I haven't seen an update on Ohtani yet.
"As an Atlanta Braves fan, I wish they both could lose."
I know the feeling. I grew up in Atlanta. Heck, I was on the Braves Ground Crew in 1969. When it starts to rain and they roll that huge tarp out onto the infield? That was me.
At least, the Braves won it all one time, 1996 or so.
What about the Falcons? My brother and I saw the first game they ever played, an exhibition game at the new Stadium in 1965. we had the first pro football team in the South. No team in Miami yet, no team in Charlotte. Falcons lost that game, of course.
But it looked like all our suffering would be redeemed several years ago. Not only the miracle that the Falcons had made it to the Super Bowl, but we were beating Tom Brady and the Patriots by 22 points at halftime! My brother was over here watching that game with me. And he said "Even the Falcons can't blow this lead."
Wrong.
I read he dislocated it.
Yeah I heard it was partial dislocated shoulder. Ouch. He's still recovering from right elbow surgery. Report says he is scheduled to play Monday night with the injury. I don't agree with that call, further damage could be career ending.
Game 1 was an amazing ending !
The most dramatic way to win and the most dramatic way to lose .
If Aaron Judge cannot start hitting this may be a quick ending for the Yankees.
Game 3 done.
Dodgers Win 4 to 2
Ohtani played full game, and without any further injury.
"From the great Atlantic ocean to that wide Pacific shore the Yankees say they won't play the Dodgers anymore, they fly from town to town chasing that World Series crown"……..Dizzy Dean never sang that one but one very similar in tune only 😀

I can't believe it. Freeman another HR in the first. 4 games in a row with a HR.
He is a big factor of them Winning it all.
well, the grans slammer made things interesting.
Ohhh Noooooo
Yep. It's a game now.
Boy the Yankees just might win tonight. But I don't believe they have it to win 4 in a row, which is what they need.
Tonight is a bullpen game. Stands to reason the Yankees are winning this one. Game 5 will be a different story. I'm a Tommy Edman fan since he's a former Cardinal and a really nice guy. I would love to see him get a ring.
Oh this is nuts. 3 run Homer for Yankees.
10 to 4 Yankees bottom 8th
They're using up all their runs in one game...they need some for tomorrow.
Lol,yep
Yankees to the Dodgers - we will see you tomorrow night.
Wow. They did real good, and wooped the Dodgers.
In 1979 I was on an assignment for Forbes (photog, Arthur Jones inventor of Nautilus) and we were all taken out to lunch. So I ask the guy across from me what he does for a living.
He says he plays baseball.
So I asked for who and he says the Yankees.
I asked what position he played he said shortstop.
It was then I noticed the World Series ring on his finger and I said "I coach my 6 year old's T-ball team."
True story. I did not follow any sorts then so had no idea who Bucky Dent was. He was very gracious never slapped me, punched me, called me an idiot ya'no all those things I would have done if I were him😂
BTW Arthur Jones was a dive bomber pilot at the Battle of the Coral Sea off the USS Lexington. That was far more impressive in my mind

Lol, cool story
Got's to keep the games going. No lost revenue.
I see a game 7 coming up.
Oh boy, Yankees come out swinging
