A-Rod: Biggest meltdown I’ve ever seen in 40 plus years
Exit interviews can sometimes take a whileYankees clubhouse is closed to the media still. Aaron Boone hasn’t come out in over 30 minutes.
Somewhere Brian “The Cashman” Cashman is furiously kicking his own ass.
The night just gets better. Please tell me it's a lifetime contract.
START SPREADING THE LOSEDAAAAA JANKEES LOSE
They'd be better off bringing in Bret or even Bob.
That's awesome. Made me laughWhat, you want me to cover first for just $324 million?
Or DanielThey'd be better off bringing in Bret or even Bob.
It’s still abject nonsenseTo be fair to Arod, that other one wasn’t in the WS
He's dropped his boom boxYankees clubhouse is closed to the media still. Aaron Boone hasn’t come out in over 30 minutes.
Team leader and best player are two different things though. One can argue that Kevin Millar was the leader of that clubhouse in 2004. Its one of the problems with giving someone the captaincy to your best player. They're not always the rah-rah types and you need someone like that to keep the energy up in the dugout. The only energy that NY had after giving up the five run lead was the dead cat bounce of an inning where Soto hit a sac fly to go up 6 -5. After that... not much.I don't fully disagree, but who do the 2024 Dodgers really have in this regard...?
Mike Trout also is a vanilla personality. It's not something you can really control.
I love good writing. Bravo.Meanwhile in Brian Cashman's office, a phone rings. He answers.
Cashman: "Hello?"
Breslow: "Brian? It's Craig. How's it going?"
Cashman: "You know we just lost the World Series right?"
Breslow: "I did this to you. I did this. Don't you ever forget that."
Cashman hears the phone click, and then a dial tone. He reflects on the Verdugo-Fitts trade. A sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach swells, and grows into a flash of rage. He throws a rocks glass at the door, shattering it into a million pieces.
Cashman: "SON OF A BITCH!"
88 is the A’s without looking. 65 is the Twins.Without looking it up, who did the Dodgers beat in the other 4 WS other than the Yankees in '59, '65, '88, '20?
White Sox, Twins, A's, Rays
They'll drop all the candy when it hits the bagI feel bad for all those MFY fans who planned to go trick or treating tomorrow dressed as 99.
I loved that he prefaced that run with "I don't watch a lot of NL baseball" and then expounded at length about what the Dodgers could and couldn't do. Awesome work in game threads on Sosh all around as usual lol games are longer than three innings for a reason!Well, I'll give @Dewey Eyed Dreamer some credit. Left the thread and didn't come back (from what I can see), like they said they would
Too bad the season is over and we can't get more insightful posts though
I only care about baseball, so this has to be mine. The 01 and 03 wins by the D-Backs and Marlins have to be up there, but not particularly close to this one. Both were pre-Sox rings, and the Yankees weren’t exactly in any sort of drought when those happened. It’s been 15 years now.This may be recency bias, but you know, this may be my favorite non-Boston title, surpassing Peyton losing to Brees
I dunno, that 01 series was ultimate levels of nut punch. Also kind of kick started the 24 years of only 1 title era, too.I only care about baseball, so this has to be mine.

And, hopefully counting.
He’s probably on the phone with Perry Minasian right now trying to get dealt to the PhilliesSomewhere in New Jersey, Mike Trout is sitting there sad. His only chance was Shohei. And he has gone off and won one without him.
Really incredible. Down 5-0 with 2 outs and he hits a slow roller more or less right at the first baseman. And somehow they end up tying the game in that inning. Baseball!
those plucky underdogsDave Roberts has done the best he could with a bargain bin team.
YupIn the shots from above, you can see the fans who are still there not able to get any closer to the field than the upper boxes because of the segregated millionaires area down the lines. What a shithole of a ballpark.
