Somehow I don't think we'll get even one.

Ok, I'll take the bait. What didn't you like about tonight's game?

[Balticfox]

Zombie runners came into play which tarnishes the whole game. In hockey they still play post season games out to the end. Why can't they do so in baseball as well?

Moreover there was no dramatic play at the plate to decide the game. Home run trots are boring.

There were no zombie runners tonight. That's a regular season rule.

An extra inning walk off home run, after some small(ish) ball to get the tying run across in the eighth? Two intentional walks in high leverage situations. One worked well (Soto for Judge), while the other did not (Betts for Freeman).

I dunno, you must have a very high bar if that wasn't good enough for you!

I dunno, first walk off grand slam in World Series history seems pretty historic to me.

Tell me you didn't watch (or listen) to the game without saying you didn't watch (or listen) to the game.

Try watching the game next time eh?

You sound like a moron when you don't watch and then comment.

Go drink another Molson eh?

Okay. I didn't watch the game. I was out buying shoes since a series between the Yankees-Dodgers leaves me underwhelmed.

I was wrong. I do make mistakes on occasion. But using the word "moron" in a reply to me is nonetheless ill advised.



P.S.: Oh, and I don't drink. I never have. That's not among my failings.

And it was Labatt's at which my father worked until he retired and I worked for four summers.

I was surprised they brought Cortes in in that situation. If I'm a Yankee fan, the two pitchers on this roster that make me the most nervous are him and Rodon. If you get the bad version of them you are toast.

Why would you opine at all about a game that you didn't watch, or listen to, or follow online? Do you have a compulsive need to comment on everything maybe? Not that I'm one to talk given how often I post lol, but even so this seems weird and unprecedented.

I'm surprised Aaron Boone didn't let Gerrit Cole try to finish the game. He had the mojo as far as I could tell.
