The Mets won their series against the Phillies last night with Lindor's dramatic grand slam home run, which advanced them to the NLCS against the winner of the Dodgers/Padres series. The Yanks are up versus the Royals 2-1, I believe, and, if they can close out that series, both New York teams will be just one more series win from meeting each other in another Subway World Series. It may not happen, but it is getting tantilizingly closer!

Happy for you Mike and Yankee fans everywhere! I hope the Dodgers can beat the hot San Diego Padres tonight
Congratulations to the New York Yankees for making it to the ALDS, joining the New York Mets who made it to the NLDS last Wednesday, and both New York teams beat their opponents three games to one. Now if the Yankees and Mets can each win their upcoming LDS series, we shall have another Subway World Series, and a great baseball year for the City of New York and both teams' fan bases! Good luck to both teams next week!
Bad start for the Mets tonight as they lost 9-0 to the Dodgers, so big game tomorrow as they obviously would rather go back to New York at 1-1 instead of 0-2. Still as the underdogs in their third consecutive playoff series, they are playing with house money! The Yanks start their LVS series tomorrow night against Cleveland.

Sorry, I am rooting for a City of Angels and Bronxs World Series, Tonight NYY will be throwing Carlos Rodon vs Alex Cobb let's go Yankees!
Dodgers are throwing a Bullpen game tonight vs NY Mets Sean Manaea should be a much better game than last nights. Go Dodgers!
It's 6-1 Mets as I write this. Would like more tack on runs.
The Mets did add one tack on run in the 9th inning to win 7-3, so the series is now 1-1 with the next three games in New York. While I actually agree with you that the Dodgers have a more talented team than the Mets as do on paper so do the Yankees, consider the following stats: 1) Since June 1st the Mets have the best regular season record in all of major league baseball, better than the Yanks and better than the Dodgers. 2) While the Dodgers did win their regular season record against the Mets, at Dodger Stadium, the Mets were 2-1, now 3-2 after the first two games of this playoff series, and against the Yanks the Mets' regular season record was 4-0. 3) The next three games are in New York, and the Mets home record since September 1st is 13-2, the best record in major league baseball, better than the Yanks and better than the Dodgers. 4) The Mets were the underdogs against the Braves the last day of the regular season and made the playoffs, were the underdogs against the Brewers in the first round of the playoffs and upset the Brewers, were the underdogs in the NLDS against the Philliies and upset the Phillies, and now are the underdogs against the Dodgers. If I were you, I would concentrate more on playing the Mets this week than in assuming your team will be playing the Yanks in the World Series next week, because otherwise you may be watching the Subway Series in the World Series next week. This is why baseball is such fun!

Carlos Rodon pitched an incredible game, Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto homered and new relief sensation Luke Weaver pitched a five out save and the Yanks won Game one of the ALCS 5-2 last night., Tonight Gerrit Cole goes for a game two victory!
GO YANKEES!!!

I’m right with you TouchKrazy. The Yankees and Dodgers rivalry goes back to the days when they were the Brooklyn Dodgers and the World Series battles have continued after the move through the decades. Perhaps a 2024 version of the rivalry. We shall see!!!

Last night The Yankees broke open a tight game at the Stadium when super star and presumptive American League MVP Aaron Judge broke out of his post season power slump with a massive home run to deep center. The Yanks now have a 2-0 lead in ALCS with a travel day off going into Cleveland tomorrow.

Both New York baseball teams won their playoff games last night. The Mets beat the Dodgers 12-6. The Dodgers now have a 3-2 lead in the series as it goes back to Los Angeles on Sunday. The Yankees won a thrilling back and forth game four in Cleveland last night 8-6 and lead their series 3-1. Yankees could win series tonight in Cleveland or on Monday or Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
I am partial GO YANKEES.

Congratulations to all Yankee fans especially Mikeyank!
By all means congrats to the Yankees and Mikeyank for making it to the 2024 World Series! The Mets are as always it seems the underdogs (as they were against tjhe Braves, Brewers and Phillies), needing to win the next two games to make it to a Subway Series. There is still a chance. One hopeful sign, so far in 2024, regular season and playoffs combined, the Mets trail the Dodgers 1-5 in New York, but lead them 3-2 in Los Angeles. We need two more for a Subway World Series! On paper, the Dodgers should win, but Let's Go Mets! We are minutes away from Game Six start time!

Congratulations to TouchKrazy as his Dodgers will indeed be facing my Yankees again….after a 43 year pause when the Dodgers beat the Yanks. My friend and I had a partial season ticket plan back then in 1981 and attended those games. I felt super confident when the Yanks won the first two games in New York but the Dodgers took the next three at L.A. and the Dodgers beat us in The Bronx in Game 6.
This year will be the twelfth time the two franchises meet in the series, most in baseball. The rivalry goes back to when the Brooklyn Dodgers first had a subway series with the Yankees in 1941, when Joe DiMaggio was playing center field.
This is 2024 with superstars on both sides and could be another classic World Series. Can’t wait for Game 1 on Friday!!!
