Or Dodgers

Which is why it will almost certainly be Dodgers vs Yankees. Yuck.

Yep

Ad decision by Alvarez - get the sure out.

Mets need a W tonight before Yamamoto takes the hill.

Don’t count your Dodger before they’re grilled

Cleveland rocks.

Nice job Guards! One of the best playoff games I have ever seen, and I only watched the 9th & 10th innings.

That game reminded me of some of the epic 1986 league championship games.

I thought of that too after it was over and Ron Darling alluded to some of the games his Mets won over the Astros & Red Sox.

That whole 1986 post-season was epic.

@tikited

It happens

Everyone gets caught between the and NYC

Rizzo is having a tough series with the leather, though that was a difficult play.

Infield in the first inning of a 0-0 game; Disney Roberts is a genius.

Didn't effect the game, but I can’t fathom the logic, as their offense hasn’t had issues scoring runs and if one gets past the pulled in infield, you set the Mets up for a big inning.

Speaking of a big inning!

Two best teams. Two best players. Classic series coming.

I'm so sick of the Dodgers vs Yankees.

Oh wait, hasn't happened since 1981, I guess I can get on board.

I found it interesting, just 1 of the top 7 WAR players for the Dodgers are homegrown players (sorta, Rojas was originally with the Dodgers and was traded, then came back). 5 of 7 for the Yankees are homegrown.

For the Yankees, I am guessing that does not include Cole due to his limited games from injury this past season?

Congrats

Hope they win as they less odorous than the Yankees.

Thank goodness for Titanic Tommy Edman.

Correct, I think he was 8th.

If I had any interest in the World Series, I'd be ticked that it doesn't start for about a week.

It's only 4 days, so not exactly about "a week".

Nobody gives a rip that it takes 14 days between the AFC/NFC Championships and the Super Bowl.

While I do have a desire to wrap this up by November, I am OK with the delay. Both teams wrapped up early so it allows them to reset their rotations on equal terms.

Here's a reason to applaud the Yankees-Dodgers match up. No silly mascots!

Also for North American Sports this will move into a tie with Lakers-Celtics for most contested Championships. Heard that on PTI but have not fact checked it.

I have plenty of interest in the series and I’m ok with the time off, especially with the Vikings being on TNF.

Maybe the greatest baseball play of all time

Is this the Best Bunt in MLB History? #mlb

Let’s hope for a little old fashioned spice in the WS from these overpaid dilettantes

Perfect form tackle

I got Dodger in 6 with Show Stopper winning the MVP.
