<p>Yanks over As
Dodgers over Cards</p>

<p>Yanks over Dodgers</p>

<p>Let’s go Dodgers!!!</p>

<p>Lifelong (and I do have a long life) Yankees fan here. I used to impress the heck out of guys in college when I could name the 3 different guys who caught for the '61 Yankees, each of whom had more than 20 home runs. No peeking!</p>

<p>Damn- Yankees 8, Tigers 4. Go Verlander!</p>

<p>I must admit, the Yankees batting lineup is impressive. Tigers let some chances slip away, which you can’t do against this Yankee team.</p>

<p>Yes, even I was in awe when they showed the lineup … when was the last time that the number 3 hitter in the AL was slotted to bat 9th?</p>

<p>As you may have noted, the weak underbelly of the Yankees is their middle relief; Joe Torre made a mistake in my mind by taking out Wang when he did thus exposing the team to the weakness of the bull pen. Good thing the Tigers didn’t capitalize.</p>

<p>S from LA is in NY. I’m from Bklyn (now CA)and a Dodger fan my whole life. I told him I can forgive him anything, but if he becomes a Yankee fan Don’t Come Home! Seems like 1988 to me. Dodgers are worst team in playoffs, but still win. Beat the Mets and then the A’s. But Dodgers Yankees would be even sweeter!</p>

<p>Go Padres!</p>

<p>fundingfather,
Agreed! My spouse and I looked at each other when Torre brought Mike Myers, “the lefty specialist” into the game, just when Wang looked like he was really settled in and getting the Tigers to hit ground balls. Bet Torre will think twice about doing that again.</p>

<p>Detroit Tigers.</p>

<p>GO RED SOX…o…wait…GO PATS!!! :frowning: baseball is so sad</p>

<p>GLA: I am with you. D from LA is in Boston and now a die-hard Sox fan. We can forgive her as the Angels tanked the end of the season and our DODGERS are going to pull off a miracle. Amusing story: at Matriculation Ceremony at D’s LAC in Boston, President gave a speech including with “everyone is welcome here, even Yankee fans…”</p>

<p>Dodgers over Mets
Dodgers squeek by St. Louis
Dodgers…say a prayer/hope for the best or a miracle at least…against Yankees</p>

<p>Well, although in the minority here, I will nevertheless admit that I am a true Yankees fan. I was born in the Bronx, sat in the $1.50 general admission seats as a child; became a Yankee Stadium vendor at age 16, and continued working there into my early adulthood. I live in NJ now, and when I attend games, I spend more time looking for the guys I used to work with (yes, some still work there - and they make $400-$500 selling beer on a good night, which is every night at Yankee Stadium). My all-time favorite memory at Yankee Stadium occurred on Old Timer’s Day 1978 (July 29, 1978), when, five days after Billy Martin made the “one is a born liar the other a convicted one” comment about Steinbrenner and Jackson and resigning as the Yankees manager, Bob Shephard, the Yankees’ public address announcer announced that Billy Martin will return as New York Yankee manager in 1980 and Bob Lemon will become GM. That was an amazing day in Yankee Stadium history.</p>

<p>Go Cardinals!! Up 2 games to none!!</p>

<p>In Mixed Marriage With Cardinals Fan</p>

<p>TheDad what is WRONG with you? You are in Dodgers territory–my childhood heroes, whom I am no longer allowed to like due to S growing up a Giants fan…but, they look like they are in trouble.</p>

<p>Go Mets!!! up 2-0 over the Dodgers!</p>

<p>Ya gotta believe!!!</p>

<p>Go Tigers! Go Mets. (Red Sox fan here)</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Patient, if you go to Dodger stadium during the regular season, you’ll notice that a large minority of fans are rooting for the visiting team.</p>

<p>TheMom and I are purists about such new-fangled “improvements” like the designated hitter, to the point where she refers to the AL as the “Imaginary League.”</p>

<p>That’s funny. Maybe part of the reason S doesn’t like the A’s and only roots for the Giants. I’ll just be geographic about it though and root for the A’s now.</p>
