I'm bringing my broom in from the patio for tomorrow's game.
OT: Go Dodgers
- Thread starter newwavedave1
- Start date
This World Series has been anticlimactic to say the least.
One of the most disappointing ones I can remember.
Not that anyone cares, but some of my favorites WS from memory in no particular order:
2016: Cubs - Indians - I'm biased, but a dramatic series nonetheless.
1986: Mets-Red Sox
The previous three Yankees-Dodgers series, not this one.
1979: Pirates - Orioles
1985: Cardinals - Royals
1987: Cardinals - Twins
1991: Twins - Braves (Jack Morris game, which we will likely never see again).
1993: Phillies - Blue Jays
1975: Reds - Red Sox (don't remember too much of this one, but everyone says it was great, especially Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting).
1996: Yankees - Braves

I wouldn't call a 10th inning walk off Grand Slam anticlimactic. Just the opposite.
As a long-suffering ex-A’s fan, I’d like to thanks this year’s WS for finally topping the horror of Kirk Gibson.
Utterly fascinating. So glad you shared. I’m submitting your list to the Library of Congress for its digital archive of the most significant literary works in our nation’s history.
Glad you’re impressed and took the time to read it. Do you work at being a dick or does it just come naturally to you?
The problem with the A’s back then was those teams were so good that they were expected to win each year. To me, their loss to the Reds was just as shocking because of how it went down.
1975 I was living 2 blocks from Fenway during the series. Game 6 was one for the ages. Bernie Carbo & Carlton Fisk. I can tell stories.
2000: Yankees over Mets 4-1 is my favorite.
Okay, the OP has been vindicated now. I think we have to separate epic play vs. good series. This was not a good series even though we experienced an epic play.
How can they name the WS MVP trophy for Willie Mays,a player who never homered in 71 at bats in WS' over a span of 23 years?
Why not Madison Bumgarner,4-0 and 0.25 ERA?

Yankees fans should take heart knowing 1000's of people in 3rd world countries will be walking around wearing 2024 World Series Champion Yankees t-shirts, lmfao. kbee predicted a Classic World Series, losing in 5 games? Just returning the favor as he was in the Mets thread minutes after we lost in"6" games.

This was an embarrassing World Series for the AL. It showed how there were at least 5 NL teams better than anything the AL had. Even with a gift wrapped trip to the Fall Classic, playing NONE of their biggest obstacles, The Varsity **** the bed. Waited 15 years for this 5 game debacle. Love it. The Dodgers celebrate on Yanks home turf, Mr. May .184, but stellar defense.Pissed away another gem from Cole, set new records from opposing Freeman hitting HR's in 4 straight games and set a record for blowing the biggest lead in an elimination WS game and it will be remembered as the worst fielding inning in World Series history.Classic Series, yeah for all the wrong reasons.

Congratulations to the Dodgers. I've been a Dodgers fan since they played in Brooklyn.
and if Rutgers played Shippensburg, Vermont Tech, Niagara and the Merchant Marine Academy the last 4 games they’d probably have 6 or 7 wins at this juncture, so what’s your point ?
Yay! Baseball's over.
How the hell did the Yankees blow that? Damn. Was at the gym last night, another guy was telling me how the Yanks were up 5-0. Double damn. Next time I see him I'll tell him he jinxed them. LOL
