Oh, the excuses will be flying like winged monkeys. No doubt he will bring up the Astros more than once. Dee-lishus

I can agree that Freeman was one of the easiest players to root for on either of those two teams. And even though I preferred that Dodgers win that particular WS matchup, I still firmly believe–and I mean this from the bottom of my baseball-loving soul–that Joe Kelly can go fuck himself.

I’ll be flying with one of my good buddies from my new hire class this weekend who is a smack-talking, whiny dojer fan. Ugh.
Pray I don’t punch my buddy in his face while in flight because I know he’s going to be beating his chest and chirpy.

At least the dojer fans in LA have acquitted themselves well with their behavior celebrating the win.
Just kidding, you know how this story goes.

“Set to the streets in an expression of joy.”
That’s rich.
I just realized, all my life I’ve been expressing my joy wrong. Next time I’m feeling joyous, maybe I’ll start a fire in the middle of my street and turn my neighbor’s lawn mower upside down.

My team won! I’ll go get my gun!
That reminded me of a Bill Hicks bit. “‘People are bringing shotguns to UFO sightings in Fife, Alabama. I asked a guy, “Why do you bring a gun to a UFO sighting?” Guy said, "Way-ul, we didn’ wanna be ab-duc-ted.” If I lived in Fife, Alabama, I would be on my hands and knees every night praying for abduction.'"

Here’s a fun coincidence making the rounds:
Per OptaStats:
The Yankees are the only MLB team to:
blow a 5+ run lead
allow 5+ unearned runs
commit 3+ errors
commit catcher’s interference
commit a balk
…all in the same game, regular season or postseason (since earned runs became an official stat in both leagues in 1913).

Here is the best part for small-minded, grudge-holding, vindictive me:
The Yankee meltdown in the 5th with a 5-0 lead and two outs started when
COLE DID NOT EVEN TRY TO COVER FIRST BASE ON A ROUTINE GROUND BALL TO RIZZO!
Take that Boras hat and stuff it.

Despite my Dodger rants to kick this thing off, I find this an acceptable outcome.
Fuck Aaron Boone and especially, fuck Brian Cashman.

It’s hard to think of a more perfect encapsulation of Gerrit Cole than that. I mean, c’mon!!
For me, as much as I despise the Dodgers, which I certainly do, it seems like more folks are talking about the complete and utter meltdown by the Yankees than the LA team finally winning a proper World Series. That brings me joy.

Pointing at the bag like “there!..that’s exactly where I should be!” is the icing on the cake. Couldn’t have happened to a bigger dickhead.

I like to think that he’s yelling “try harder!” to Rizzo.
Cole apologists are blaming Rizzo saying Cole could not have beaten Betts to the bag.
