All Right For One Night

The Yankees clearly aren't going to win this Series but it was nice to be able to enjoy one game, at least. The Dodgers have a much stronger lineup, not top-heavy like the Yankees, and a better bullpen. They're starting rotation is clearly much better than advertised as well. The Yankees should look at L.A. as an example of the right way to buy a championship - build a balanced team around your big stars, not fill your lineup with several automatic outs. 

Great to see Volpe and Torres hit those big home runs, gave the crowd something to cheer about. Bullpen was excellent too. Now just got to do it three more times.

  1. As a Giants fan (hate is a strong word so I dislike the Dodgers) I’m rooting for the Yankees but down 3-0 was a large hole to dig out of. It was nice to see them win Game 4 and think they have a great shot in Game 5.

    1. I was born and raised a Giants fan, so I feel the same way.

  2. Ew, Giants fans. ... The Dodgers have good starting pitching but it's only 3 guys. With the team's history of starting pitching this is very unusual and why there's noise about it (also they've lost like 12 pitchers to injury this season). I hate seeing my team punt Game 4 of the WS but they didn't have much of a choice.

  3. I was really hoping to see this series go 7 games. Now the wait for the 2025 season begins. Congratulations Dodgers fans.
