You brought up Swift twice in your explanation for why MLB would push the Yankees and Dodgers. But if MLB wants Swift at more games, then it seems like they'd push Cleveland, by that logic.

I think his point was that the NFL pushed the Chiefs because of Swift and her Swifties, not that she explained Yankees vs. Dodgers.

I guess it was just a coincidence she attended a Yankee playoff game then. I thought there was some kind of bridge being built between her appearing at the Super Bowl and a possible appearance at the World Series.

I don't think so, at least from what I read.

For the long term growth of MLB as an industry, I could make a compelling argument that a Diamondback Rangers WS does more to grow the game long term than another Dodger - Yankees WS. Would it get the TV ratings? No, but looking at the long term health of the game, I think they need more teams in the mix, not less.

Remember 50,000 tweets about how the NFL wants Brady in the Super Bowl . . . wants Mahomes in the Super Bowl . . . calls are fixed. . . . refs are on the take . . . all really tiresome and juvenile.

Umpires and refs can barely make basic calls right. But somehow they are going to briefed on who is "supposed to win" and guide their calls accordingly. Really a sign of the times and how silly much of the discourse in this country has gotten on basically every subject.

The Dodgers had the best record in the NL (and best record in baseball) while the Yankees had the best AL record ( and 3rd best record in baseball). I don't want to see either team win, but maybe the fact that they're both pretty good teams has more to do with the results than some big conspiracy.

The last time the 2 best record teams in each league met in the WS was 2013.

So you can't always say the 2 best will meet each other, however with a little help from MLB (taking a play out of that crook Goodell's playbook) still pretty sure it will happen this year, no matter how hard the Yankees try and choke it away.

MLB tipped it's hand when they had a Postseason commercial featuring ONLY Judge and Ohtani, they aired that too soon (in the first round). Only the smart people (like me) caught that.

But for now let's just enjoy....

The Guardians didn't get the memo after all. What a comeback. Playoff baseball is the best.

What a comeback?

Eh Packman?

I hope you New Yorkers study up on a little something called the Heimlich Maneuver.

If I’m following you this was planned so that MLB can broadcast more games in the series. But why would anyone worry if it’s fixed?

Early in the game I thought they were gonna have to go back to L.A. but they pulled it off. I'm neutral though I live in L.A. Still, I'm glad for the Dodgers in part that spectre of the 2020 win hanging over their head that they couldn't get it done in a full season.

I don’t think it’s crazy to think that umpires tend to have a slight bias to long-established star pitchers on great teams and referees tend to have a slight bias to the better teams.

That's quite the generalization.

Do you even watch football to comment? Asking because your posts don’t slow down during NFL games.
