Walk-off Grand Slam by Freddie Freeman, and the Dodgers win Game 1, 6-3, in 10 innings.

Nothing better than watching a Yankees meltdown.
hard to believe the top of the 5th in Game 5.
The Yankees are leading 5-0. The Dodgers get bases loaded with no out. Then Cole gets 2 straight strikeouts, including Ohtani. The next batter hits a squibber to 1st. Cole (the pitcher) starts to run to 1st to cover the bag, and then stops (I guess he thought the 1st baseman could make the play). Well, the runner beat the 1st basemen to the bag, and so the Dodgers score a run. Then Freeman hits a single to plate 2, and then Hernandez his a double to score 2. (And that description doesn't even include the 2 errors in the field that lead to the bases loaded).
The Yankees should have been out of the inning, with a 5-0 lead, and Cole still at a descent pitch count. Now (the Yankees just got the 3rd out, on a grounder to SS that was a force out at 2nd), the game is tied 5-5, and it's debatable if Cole will have anything left for the 6th inning.

As a Braves fan, I hate the Yankees even more than the Phils. F them. I love that Freddie is killing them.
LOL. I definitely am rooting for the meteor.
I've mellowed quite a bit over the years, and don't hate any teams. That said, in the NL, the 3 teams I dislike are the Mets, the Braves, and the Dodgers. In the AL, the only team I dislike is the Yankees.
I'm watching the WS more out of tradition than anything else, and really don't care who wins. The only thing I'm rooting for other than the meteor is for the games go be good, and the series to be long and entertaining.
Yankees meltdown. 2 errors ÷ Cole not covering 1st leads to 5 unearned runs.
Then a broken bat infield hit, walk, and catcher's interference leads to 2 more runs.
You don't get much for $300 million.

Congrats to the Dodgers, they earned it beating the 2 hot teams in the NL and then taking out the highest win team in the AL. The Phillies have work to do.
The Dodgers got a WS out of Freeman, who's $162,000,000 contract will be paid up in 2040 with a $5mm payment. Ohtani's $700mm contract will be finalized with a $68,000,000 payment in 2043. Still, they lucked into teams having injury issues to make it to the series. It's always who's hot in the end.
Not sure if you saw this but it tracks.
Mookie should have belted both of them. Oh for the old days of Mike Curtis almost cutting a stupid fan in half running onto the field!
You tell me what’s worst, them practicing that drill every Spring or me sitting there watching it. I actually sit there watching pitchers simulating throwing and then running to cover first base to receive a throw at first base.
They do it every year but I still sit there and watch it.
