This situation is truly the epitome of lose-lose. However, I must represent the dissenting opinion. This is no small thing, because I really do dislike ALL the Dodgers, their fans, Chavez Ravine, I could go on. And would probably resign myself to root for the Yankees this ONE series.
I cannot.
Will not.
For one simple reason: Gerritt Cole. I hope he gets shelled in game 1 and that he NEVER EVER raises a World Championship trophy above his Boras cap bedecked head. I hope they get swept.

You make a strong argument here. I hate that we’re in this position.

I am not going to watch it.

Nor I.
If I see highlights I want them filtered to only show reaction shots of the losing team and it’s fans.

I’ll probably watch it because I’m just that way. Then again, I might not.
Protocol question: if others of us do watch it, should we refrain from posting here?
That’s what this thread is for. We’ll be sure to take a shower afterwards.

Blanket immunity.
I won’t watch it. Not because of any scintillating hate I have for with (or both) teams. I won’t watch it because I find it uncompelling. There’s a thousand things I’d rather do than watch either/both of those teams. My hate has reached its pinnacle; an utter lack of care or attention. I find it hard to even care enough to write this post.
That said, because if my seething disdain for both teams, the most I can elevate my hopes to are: 1) the home team loses every game, 2) the Coles/Ohtanis/Judges/etc… go O-fer for the entire series, 3) the managers make repeated, bumbling, laughable decisions that turn the game(s) against their favor and 4) each individual game and the overall series is won by who sucked ever-so-slightly less.
Edited to add: it would be nice to see memes of little snippets of the unwatched games of little kid fans crying in the stands show up out on the internet. That I’d like to see.

I have used this October to organize and declutter my workshop.
The big stuff was easy.
Yesterday I sorted thru my fasteners. I seem to have accumulated 3 lifetimes worth of #8-1 1/4" screws.
And a dozen lifetimes of #10-1" screws. I’m donating those to the local charity store. Along with some 2 inch bolts.
I also threw away every slotted screw I found. Fuck those.

I’ll be honest, while I’m not going to watch, I hope the series gets great ratings. Because if Yankees-Dodgers can’t draw eyeballs back to MLB, nothing can.
So you’ve given up building a Frankenstein’s monster. Sad.
I hope the ratings suck. No one outside of their respective fan bases should have any interest. Show MLB that the other 28 teams and their fans all hate the Dodger and Yankee.

I recently realized that I collect deck screws. Boxes of them. Peanut butter jars full of loose ones. They are my security blanket, it seems.

Perhaps your deck screws could breed with my Allen keys.
Then we could rule the world.

I prefer “nothing can,” Alex.
I absolutely love sorting screws, bolts and nails. It satisfies and solves so many issues: 1) you look busy (which can have many different values), 2) it tidies things up, 3) it’s tactile porn, 4) it saves $$, and 5) it speeds up the efficiency of work that uses the fasteners.
I very well may be on some sort of spectrum or something.

A man can never have too much money or too many mechanical fasteners. It’s just common sense.

This is a good chuckle. Cashman getting ready for the world series by complaining about the Astros:
