Good thing the Asterisks won't be going to another World Series.

Thank fucking God the Asterisks are out, now just hope to God the Braves can win or they'd pull the biggest choke ever.

Well we weren’t up by 3 but up 2 so not really the biggest choke there.

Dodgers going to the show.

What a fucking surprise, an Atlanta team choked despite having a lead.

Well, it was about as close as a series could be.

We really didn’t choke. We only lead 2-0 when we had the first loss and then it was a win one lose one situation. This last game was also pretty close so we didn’t almost do what the rays did which was be up for 3 games and then lose three straight

And now I root for the Dodgers. Because fuck you Tampa, you beat my Yankees.

This will be a good World Series with two great matchups.

At this point I'm going to two games convention obsèques, White Sox/A's in Chicago, and Brewers/Angels in Milwaukee (a Grateful Dead tribute game) the following day. I am going to make it to Fenway this summer, but, it is for an "internationally friendly" futbol match (Liverpool FC vs Sevilla FC) I am really looking forward to seeing baseball in alternative parks, but still, kinda weird...

Have a good season because you're lucky to go there, because I can't move.

Talk about a batshit way to tie up the series.

Rays just won YEET

by **Ameriganastan** » Tue Oct 27, 2020 8:38 pm

The choke is over. Dodgers win.

by **The Two Jerseys** » Tue Oct 27, 2020 8:38 pm

Dem Bums won it all!

Dodgers finally win one after they had their 2017 title stolen by the cheating Astros.

Wait no no no

Full honesty, I hate the Dodgers. I'm not pleased that they won. However I know some pretty okay folks who are Dodger fans, so I'll accept it this one time. But only this once.

I cheered for the Rays, but the Dodgers were simply the better team.

Dodgers deserved it. Especially after how they got cheated by the Asterisks the last time they were in the series.

They beat the Rays who beat the Astros, so they indirectly paid the Astros back with a series victory.

The Nats winning a year ago over the Asterisks is another deserved WS win.

Yankees are shuffling up their minor league affiliates.

Not sure if ditching Trenton is a good idea financially, the Thunder consistently put asses in seats and sell a lot of merchandise.

Somerset is closer to NYC to pull local fans. Dropping Staten Island is news. They are putting all the farm teams around the city. (Except tampa).

Increased draw of local fans seems like it would be negligible, the Yankees still have a strong fanbase around Trenton, plus Trenton has the advantage of pulling in all the Phillies fans whenever Reading comes to town.

Earlier reports had Binghamton on the chopping block, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Thunder affiliate with the Mets.
