MLB, Fox, the betting apps and the advertisers are rejoicing about that. The Yankees and Dodgers are the dream Big Money matchup.

Yep. Now they’re hoping it goes 7. I’m not sure if the Yanks have the pitching to get it that far

Do the Dodgers, though? The pitching this postseason has been sort of crap.  The WS may put up some football scores.

I am of course a Yankees fan, but I totally get the rooting interest for Team Meteor.

 

I have no rational idea why ("second team-itis"?) but I assumed because you're an Islanders fan, that you'd also root for the Mets and the Jets . . .

I do root for the Mets (as a kid we watched all NY teams) but tend to slightly favor the Yankees. I'm not much of a Jets fan -- I don't hate them but I'm definitely a Giants fan. Not really into the NBA but will casually pull for the Knicks or Nets if they're making noise in the playoffs. The WNBA was more intriguing to me this year. It was nice to see the NY Liberty finally win a title but the officiating is tainting it a bit.

 

I never got the supposed Isles-Mets-Jets and Rangers-Yankees-Giants fan groupings. I know lots of people who don't align with those.

It may be a "coming from a guy who knows only the big stuff about New York" issue, too . . .:biggrin:

I thought it was a deep-dish pizza.

Can't be a deep dish pizza, Chicago is still standing.

It turns out they're not quite done playing baseball, even with all the cool teams being out of it.

 

Who you got?

 

I'm predicting Dodgers in six.

Yeah, that would be my pick too.    But the identity of the participants will probably preclude me from watching much of it.

Aaron Boone should be executed. Bring in a guy who hasn’t pitched in over a month in THAT situation. 

 

No confidence in "Nasty Nestor"? 

 

Wasn't he also pitching injured? Strange.

Clean shaved man takes out the mustache. Yankees need to rethink this.  

 

Maybe it's a sample size issue; we need to find out if it's facial hair generally, or just terrible "Cuban pimp" mustaches that cause the problem.

He is pitching injured. He said it was worth missing a year for the opportunity to win a ring. He won’t be used again.  It’s going to be tough enough to win the series with Judge stuck in his own head. But Boone’s incompetence might be the clincher.

Lots of stars at the game...Jennifer Lawrence, and her husband plus    Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Amber Rose, Anthony Anderson and Magic Johnson.

Probably more too. 

That beats Naked Gun.
