Hell Yeah. I'm so excited. I called it during the first game of playoffs. Dodgers vs Yankees.

My son and his friends have been over at our house for every game. Anywhere from 4-7 of them per game. They all played little league and high school baseball together and still hang out in college. Now they're drinking my beers too. I love it.

This series should be good and brings back some good memories for a bunch of us.

Battle of the highest payrolls.

Kind of a disappointment for these teams when they don't make it to the World Series.

Just picked up some good looking artichokes at Costco. Those and some hot roast beef dip sammaches, and I should be good to go. 🏆

Whoever has World Series tickets for tonight is gonna have a hell of a time getting home.


“On Friday, the Dodgers will face the New York Yankees at Dodger Stadium for Game 1 of the World Series — the first time since 1981 the teams will meet in the Fall Classic. Later in the evening, the Lakers will play the Phoenix Suns at Crypto.com arena. Meanwhile, at the LA Coliseum, the USC Trojans are scheduled to play Rutgers for a night of college football.

In addition, Inglewood will host two big events — with the East LA Classic football game between Theodore Roosevelt and James A. Garfield high schools at SoFi Stadium, and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame playing a concert at the Intuit Dome.

Some have dubbed the cluster of events as possibly setting the stage for a “carmageddon.””

There was a time I was a LA Dodger fan. It began at the LA Coliseum. Who remembers the Moon Shot over that weird LF fence. LA Dodger, Wally Moon, had fine tuned hitting HRs over it. There was also a time when going to a Dodger game was the best value in all of sports. Both of those things, fan and value, have changed. I was fortunate to enjoy years of great entertainment - Koufax, Drysdale, Roseboro, Wills, Davis (Tommy & Willie), Snider, Neal, Gilliam, Hodges, Scully and others. Good times and fond memories. Different times, a different LA and a much different CA.

I saw 2 and 3.

Also... if Ohtani's real pay was hitting the books, Dodgers would be #1.
Can we include the income he’s generated then as well to offset? If you’ve been to Dodger stadium this year, that contracts been paid for.

Flaherty looked different after Soto's base hit, it definitely didn't sit well with him. He's done a great job tonight

Haven't watched a lot of baseball in the last few years. Wow, they really sped up the game with the time between pitches. Maybe a little too much, the mental battle between pitcher and batter is lacking at this speed. But at least it won't be a 4 hour game.
