Very impressive performance by Cam in a playoff series deciding game! He and I have something in common as we are both alumni of Northeastern University in Boston! Also noteworthy is that this was the first time the Red Sox lost two consecutive potential playoff clinching games since 1986, to the Mets of course!Rookie 24 year old Cam Schlittler pitched one of the all time great post season games for the Yankees last night. And although not a classicly handsome guy, I found him very sexy from when I watched him on TV pitching an exhibition game in Tampa.
As my late friend and former forumite Buckeye1 would say, I’d do him.

No Dodgers-Yankees series this year as Toronto thoroughly beat the Yankees 3 games to 1. You are such a cool, sweet guy TK and I wish you and the Dodgers, (former Brooklyn Dodgers at that, lol) the best of luck. As to my team, Wait till next year.
Sorry about the Yankees, I'm still in shock, I never would have thought that they would go down in fourNo Dodgers-Yankees series this year as Toronto thoroughly beat the Yankees 3 games to 1.

I need to concentrate on the Dodgers road tp the WS it's not going to be an easy one.
Congrats to the Dodgers!
Glad he made it to the World Series even if it in the capacity of coach. Many a player with a geat major league career never made it to the World Series at all. Ernie Banks of the Cubs was such an example I believe.
Since the Dodgers are the National League representative, the Met fans will be rooting for them and wishing they were still playing in Brooklyn!
As a Yankees fan this is an interesting match-up as this series will match the two teams that eliminated the Yanks in the 2024 season, (the Dodgers in the World Series) and the Blue Jays who beat us in this season in the ALDS. I’m rooting for my old Brooklyn team, and the amazing Shohei Ohtani who had arguably the best game ever in MLB post-season history, pitching and striking out ten batters and hitting three home runs in the same game. That is incredible and we are witnessing greatness in our time.
Oh good, so glad you responded so positively to the Dodgers' historic connection. The Mets traditional uniform cap incorporates the "N" and sunkened "Y" from the New York Giants with the remainder of the uniform modelled after the Brooklyn Dodgers. The original owner of the Mets, Mrs. Joan Payson, was previously on the Board of Directors of the New York Giants, and she voted an emphatic NO on the vote to relocate the Giants to San Francisco and was equally upset about the Dodgers relocation to Los Angeles, so that is why the Mets consider themselves as the heirs of both the Dodgers/Giants National League tradition in New York. Just some history of the National League baseball tradition in New York City.
As my deceased parents were both born in 1925, they and I grew up with and remembered and admired this star from afar (not so much his team though!). Mickey's first few years though he was booed by Yankee fans fearing him displacing their beloved center fielder Joe Dimaggio, but after Joe's retirement, they grew to love him. Mickey as a rookie was one of the fastest players in baseball, but unfortunately a trip and fall over a springler head in center field of the old Yankee Stadium took that speed aspect of his game away from him. Later on the Yankees were upset with Billy Martin taking Mickey and other players to enjoy the New York nightlife and inbibe late into the night, which rumor has it caused the Yankees to trade Martin to Kansas City! Late in his career, the Yankees adopted a policy of giving Mick a game off whenever a day game followed a night game with allegedly hangovers from the night before a consideration. One day game, late in a tie game, he was sent up to pinch hit and Mick hit a 500 foot game winning homer, and his first words to his teammates upon his return to the dugout were: "Those fans don't realize how hard that was. I saw two baseballs and swung in between"! Now that's a story showing just how talented he was! RIP Mick.
