That was a great game. several lead changes. BOOM to end it in the 10th. Wish it was my team, but I love a good contest. And hate the Yankees!

Not a fan of either team but I’ve always liked Freddie Freeman. Had a feeling the Yanks would regret walking Betts.

Grew up a Dodgers fan. Yankees were the enemy.

I dunno. No longer really care for the sport. Check in once in while, but I honestly watch just about anything other than baseball till the 7th game.

Same for the NBA.

I stopped watching MLB after that strike cancelled the World Series. Then whatever interest I had left went away during the steroid era. And now I'm just interested if the Reds or Royals are playing. As for the NBA, I love basketball and there's little else on from February on, but I don't like watching the "modern NBA"-- just game of H-O-R-S-E from long range and guys driving into defenders begging for foul calls. Watched two minutes of the Celtics the other night, Celtics had all five guys just standing around outside the 3 point line-- they could drive or shoot a 3. How exciting.

I’ve always enjoyed the World Series, except no more afternoon games all night, radio broadcasts were the best,
I had a bet with my dad for a dollar that the Mets would beat the A’s in the 1973 series dad won the dollar, those A’s teams were loaded just like the big red machine

Yankee fan all my life, so naturally disappointed. But, if you didn't enjoy some edge-of-your-seat baseball last night, there's something wrong with you.

Without a salary cap baseball is dominated by wealthy owners. A cap might make it more enjoyable to watch.

I had a long standing resentment to MLB because of the unfair budgets between the big and small market teams. I’m a huge Royals fan and it affects teams like the Royals most. Ultimately I just decided to get over it and just enjoy watching the Royals play regardless. But because of the unbalanced budgets it still makes me hate the Yankees more than God hates sin and I won’t ever watch anything the yanks are a part of. I also hate the incessant amount of Yankee front runner fans everywhere. They make me sick. So screw the yankees and I hope they lose. But I won’t be watching .

I do like the idea of a cap but they don’t revenue share like the NFL so it’s not possible.

I thought the Dodgers would choke like they always do but ever since the fourth game of the Padres series they have been unstoppable

Freeman is on his freaking head right now… unbelievable
Another bomb tonight
I missed it. Was busy cooking dinner. Still can't believe that the Dodgers are going to sweep this tonight. I know it's not over yet. Still wild.

Although I'm disappointed that the Yankees are currently ahead, this is a good game. It would be nice to put the dagger in them tonight.

Good thing that goober Yankee fan on the left side of the screen was wearing a sliding mitt. You never know when Aaron Boone might look up in the stands and ask you to pinch run.

Dodgers kept almost all of their bullpen powder dry last night. They basically punted. I hate to see them let the Yankees have any oxygen, but it was definitely a strategic decision. Better get the Yankees tonight or it could get weird.

This series is a great warmup for Penn State vs. OSU.

I dislike both fan bases so much that I would prefer to see the Dodgers close it out tonight and celebrate in front of devastated Yankee fans. Less fun all the way around compared to winning it in LA.

I love LA…. We love it!

What a game. Not much of a baseball fan these days but happy we won and not them

Both sports go on WAY too long! Baseball it’s almost November for Heaven’s sake! They’ll be off for a couple of months and then Spring Training starts. Totally ridiculous!

Don’t even get me started on NBA!

Just saw highlights of the final game. Man, did the Yankees **** all over themselves, or what? Aaron Judge came out of hibernation for a HR, but is total trash in the outfield. Cole was too lazy to continue jogging to cover first base. Imagine giving up 5 unearned runs in a must-win game. What an embarrassing effort

L.A. Dodgers….best team money can buy. Basically an all-star team. They should have won and they did.
Uhhh, Yankees payroll is like $90M higher than the Dodgers. They both are examples of why baseball sucks to the average sports fan. It'll never change and I hate it.

That said, I'm happy the Yankees lost and looked like bozos yesterday.
