World Series Game 1 Gamethread

Half an inning late. I think the home plate ump has money on LA.

Game 2 tonight at 5pm, Fox

The chorus of whining out of New York and Yankees fans is deafening this morning. First the complaining about Home Plate Umpire Carlos Torres, who was just average last night, but MFNYY fans is par for the course, Aaron Boone walking Mookie Betts to get to a hitter who hasn’t hit a HR in almost 2 months is just wrong, and finally, even before the Grand Slam I thought it was a great game even though I thought my chosen team was going to lose and that Jeff had called what was going to happen an inning or two prior. That was a great Baseball Game win or lose.

Glad to see no extra innings “Ghost Runner”, Chisum came up running in the 10th and it sure made it a better game by his hustle. G. Cole pitched as advertised, and the LAD bullpen where lights out again. But the evening belonged to Freddie freeman and making history with the first ever walk off Grand Slam in World Series history, Oh My…..Soto-Judge-Stanton vs Ohtani-Betts-Freeman is after game one better than advertised, I think Stanton’s HR is still in flight and polishing the Hubble 🚀 .

Don’t for a minute think this is a cake walk for the Dodgers, remember what happened in “77 & ’78 when the Dodgers in both series had a 2-0 in games won over the Yankees and lost both series. I do hope that the series goes 7, and all 7 games are as exciting as the ’67 & ’68 & ’75 World Series. These are the 2 best teams in 2024 playing for the Championship, but still….

 🎉  💥  GO DODGERS!! 🏆

How can you so vociferously root for the Dodgers on an Angels site ?

Maybe you should visit “True Blue LA” instead ?

Baseball is a beautiful game. I am in love with it. And Friday night we saw her in all her glory. Just a gorgeous specimen. Way more interesting and nuanced than any other sport.

In my later years with the profound love of a 35 year marriage and wonderful, successful children, I am beginning to care much less about partisan affiliation. I mean who cares, in this great and beautiful universe, whether Ohtani wears red laundry or blue laundry?

I realize I am mostly just a fan of this fascinating, gorgeous sport. I am not a child. I am a grown, evolved human who can just sit back and marvel at the fascinating sport of baseball. What a fucking (October) great game!!

Well, this is why I’m a baseball fan. After Edman couldn’t make the grab for a potential double play, I thought: that’s it. Neither team was getting hits with men in scoring position and it would come down to some little play like that.

Freeman getting a triple early in the game was a freak. If you told me he’d hit a walk-off salami in the 10th, 2 outs, and a run down I would say no way. Jeeez.

Hope it goes 7. I want Ohtani (who?) to win it all. It’s not his fault he played for a lousy org with a lousy owner (ours).

But if the Yank-mees win it, whatever. I want good games. Like Game One. I really thought Freddie would ground to 2nd to end the game.

Lol, everthing smelling like roses for blue since our friend went there. Their fans keep reminding me he plays for a real team now. This is gonna be a loooong off season for Angel fan trolling by D nation when they win WS. Stay true to the red Angel fans.!

Get over it. You (and I) are fans of a lousy Org. Whether it’s the Dodgers or whomever- they are just better. So we wallow in our suckiness and the reality is these teams deserve to be in the WS.
