Damn, if you would’ve posted that picture on opening day then I would’ve dropped the Astros.

Never too late to denounce those cheaters!

 

[Shenanigans90]

They are all cheaters, the Astros were just dumb enough to get caught.

 

[Kitty_so_frisky]

Time to close the tab with the Dodgers schedule that’s been open since April It has cute little fireworks tonight!

Probably not..three basic plays that will haunt Yankees forever..

Parade day…the late Fernando Valenzuela’s birthday…Dia de los Muertos What a day!

ABC7 estimating well over 100k along the parade route. Not sure how they configured Chavez Ravine (Dodgers stadium) for the event at the end of the parade, but normal capacity is 56,000 without seating on the field like they might do for concerts. Well over 150k Angelenos out there celebrating this morning!

LA is a Lakers & Dodgers town, and we missed out on TWO victory parades in 2020 because of the pandemic. Angelenos needed this

Congrats, @Kitty_so_frisky!

It gave me great amounts of joy to see the Yankees implode like they did. Happy to see Freddie and Shohei win. (I know Freeman has one already, but I’m not happy about that one for him. Haha) Crazy that neither Judge nor Ohtani played a major role with their bats in the series.

Thank you! And true, Shohei didn’t carry in the series, but just like any Dodger who got traded before the deadline or didn’t make the postseason roster, they wouldn’t have gotten there without him and he deserves that ring! Especially after 50+ stolen bases and 59(?) home runs in the regular season, and languishing with the Angels for years without ever even getting to play in a single postseason game. I do kinda love how much the postseason was a team effort for the Dodgers though. Everyone from the top to bottom of the lineup and the whole bullpen contributed and had their moments to shine.

As for Judge, he showed up for them in game 5, it was just too little, too late by then. Still a great player, just not a champion yet.

Having 2 Roberto Clemente award winners (Judge and Rizzo) earned the Yankees at least a little respect in my book though. Kersh and former Dodger Justin Turner won them with the Dodgers in somewhat recent years, and they’re the best of the best humans. LA was a better place when JT and Kourt were here. I don’t pay too much attention to non-Dodgers, TBH, but if they’re anywhere near that caliber, they can’t be all that bad.

I’m wondering if I’ll be able to see any Rays games this season?

 

[TunnelKing089]

Hot stove offseason picking up,top 50 free agents.

Soto is the big one,600 million expected.
Dodgers picked up B.Snell a few days ago.Royals and Reds trade India for Singer,.Good pickup for KC they need another bat/leadoff hitter.

ATL hardly ever goes after big free agents,they'll look to find bargains as usual.

Mets,not the Yankees get Soto 15 years 765 million


It’s the largest contract in the history of professional sports.

 

[lifeisgood3976]

I saw a note on MLB Network that when the Mets play game number 98 this year, Soto will have made as much money (~$30 mil) as Darryl Strawberry made in his entire career.

 

[TunnelKing089]

But the Yankees do get Max Fried, 8 year deal 218 million.

[LustfulIntentions2]

Just dropping in here to curse the fucking Dolan family for being a pox on the Guardians as a team and the fanbase that's expected to pay ever increasing ticket prices even as they continually strip the team down to the studs and pocket the difference. Andres Jimenez is a damn fine player and there's no doubt they got back less than he's worth. Fucking assholes.

 

[FormerAllStar2]

Cubs get Tucker from Houston; Astros get Peredes, Wesneski, and prospect Cam Smith. Hate to see King Tuck go, but he was t going to re-sign with the Astros anyway. Overall a good trade for both teams.

Enjoy the new right fielder, @StillRain

 

[TunnelKing089]

Welp Yankees miss out on Soto,but they get Bellinger.
