Okay, OT but a big enough story to post and I'm sure I'm not the only Yankees fan here who's disgusted and needed to vent. The expectations were huge going into this series and it's been such a terrible let down that I actually resorted to turning the Giants on Monday Night Football.

Some random thoughts that came up trough the headaches and nausea of the last few days:

-Fat Joe?!?!?! Whiskey Tango Foxtrot...over! Could we look any weaker or small time after LA breaks out Ice Cube? Joke 🫣

-The one chance to make last night's yawner of a game interesting was killed by the ineptitude of terrible umpiresMark Carlson ringing up Gleyber on one of the worst calls you'll see in post season history. So instead of potentially seeing Soto up with the bases loaded you may have just as well turned of the tv. Besides Yankees fans or even neutral baseball fans you gotta think the network was pissed at that call.

-Aaron Boone. Not one of the many Boone haters out there but what was his reaction after that abomination of a call? Sat there with a numb/depressed look on his face. This is the guy who's been know to ride umps and has gotten thrown out of more games than any 3 managers combined the last few years protecting his guys' at the plate. He just sat there...he was checked out and gave up. Terrible. Not as terrible as pulling Cole the other night, then doubling down on dumb and putting Nestor who hasn't pitched in a month when he had a guy in Hill who's been lights out of late.

Our Ace Cole- Coming to realize this guy is soft. Gives the ball to Boonie after 88 pitches. It's the freaking World Series! What do you think Bob Gibson would do if the manager came to take the ball after 88 pitches?

Not a disgrace to lose to the Dodgers at all. They are simply just a better organization right now. They spend more, they sign free agents that work out, they develop young talent better, their lineup is much deeper and they pitch better. Not a disgrace to finish second to LA

Lots to dislike about how they’ve played. That’s what makes it a disgrace.
 
Yankees bullpen has been excellent throughout the post season but their hitting with runners in scoring position seems to be a systemic problem. Been this way dating back to the 2017 post season.
 
I'm a little surprised the Yankees haven't been able to get more going offensively against the Dodgers but on the other hand it's really all about Judge. It's surprising (and mostly because of Stanton) that they were able to make it this far without him doing much of anything. The AL in general, or at least at the top, felt a lot weaker than the NL this year too.
 
Seems like everything is going the Dodgers way, but Dodgers are a very complete team. The Yankees have 27 world championships, can they win 4 straight, if you are a real fan you believe they can. I’m hoping they break out tonight, if not the better team won.

Series hasn’t gone well. But as a Yankee fan, it’s kind of hard to complain about anything when I consider the other teams I root for.
Exactly! Volpe came of age last night what a game, simply outstanding. Yankees explode again tonight, momentum shifted last night. We go back to LA and the pressure is on the Dodgers. Yankee history is rich and deep don’t count them out.
 
One game at a time. They showed something last night, but Judge really needs to get going if they have even the remotest shot.

Volpe showed something last night. Instead of putting his head down after the baserunning blunder, he used it as motivation and played his ass off. Can he and the team build on it tonight?
 
Hope so. Fans are reactionary in the moment. But if you are a Yankee fan of pretty much any age, think about how good you have it. I’m a Giants fan (and a lucky one at that given their SB success), Knicks fan and Hall fan. Even with the Giants having better success than most NFL franchises I still add up those 3 combined and it doesn’t come close to the last 30+ of the Yanks. And I am or was too young to enjoy some of the great success that pre-dates that period.
 
Congrats to the Dodgers. They showed up and played better. I'm a Yankee fan and you can't make the mistakes the Yankees made over and over. Dodgers deserved the win. Congrats!!

I don't mind all that much losing the series, but did the Yankees have to torture us in the process?
I was at the game last night. Wierdest game I’ve ever been at from that perspective. It was a party until that disaster inning, and then the Yanks still clawed back to go ahead only to lose the lead a second time. Stadium was shell shocked.

Three things any Dodger feared. A Judge homer. The best Cole. And an early NYY lead. Make that 4 things, the 4th being flaherty sucking and into the bull pen in the 2nd inning. Gloomy conveys one tenth of the disappointment I was feeling.

And then you gave it all back. And then Cole is even more impressive in the 6th and 7th. And we sac fly you back home.

If we get back half of the talented pitchers who didnt pitch in the series, keeping the same team, I am all in. But I bet they GM has a few big fish he wants to rope in. I really want Kike and Edman to have roles next year.
Soto to the Mets or Yanks?

NL was better this year. Padres are as good as LA. Mets are tough. Phillies underperformed in the playoffs but are up there too.
