I fear the Yankees will win.

But death, taxes, and Dodgers-Yankees WS I suppose.

@Machinehead you might need to clarify the rules here for the very anti-Yankees crowd. I want to know where the line is so I can be just an tad under it. :laugh:
 
Hell I’ll root for the Yankees. I don’t hate them.

I don’t really hate the dodgers either but I don’t really wanna root for the team that just beat us.

I’ve been a Stanton defender for a long enough time now that it tips the scales in that direction for me.

We always tended to stick with the "if you don't have anything nice to say..." rule from back in grade school.

I can't speak for the rest of Yankees fans but the ship already sailed on me being completely f***ing obnoxious all winter after the Liberty game last night.
 
The way the Dodgers were playing, with that discipline to not chase and hence drawing so many walks, hitting base hits and the long ball. They have quite the lineup. Im not sure the Yankees can handle them.

Ohtani>Judge and also the Dodgers - theyre just relentless pressure. I have to give the edge in this series to L.A. though I'll be rooting for the Yankees since Im a New Yawkah and my son is a Yankees fan too.
 
I don't really care who wins at this point. For me, it's a zero-sum with the Mets. Whoever else wins is of no concern to me. I'll watch but won't root for or against.

The Yankees do those things as well and just as good, if not a little better, than the Dodgers.

The Yankees will also have much better pitching to throw at the Dodgers than the Padres and Mets did.

This will go 7 games most likely. Gonna go with Yankees in 7.
 

Jack Flaherty is starting game one. Yamamoto is starting game 2.

To me this is the biggest WS in 43 years and a must win for the NYY. Why is it a must win for the NYY? There are likable teams who don't have the most titles or most HoFers such as the Cubs and Mets. The Steinbrenner owned NYY are not lovable losers. Their fans haven't had a WS win since 2009, and they want it now.

Hate to be cynical and sound like captain obvious, but Judge looks completely lost at the plate
 

"Carlos Torres and Andy Fletcher, making their first World Series appearances, will serve as home plate umpires in Games 1 and 2, respectively. Doug Eddings will call Game 4, followed by Mark Ripperger, Chad Fairchild and Todd Tichenor. Eddings, like Torres and Fletcher, will also be making his World Series debut".
