A metro bus was set on fire in Los Angeles during celebrations and 12 people were arrested for looting stores.

So did the Tigers issue nine walks in nine innings anytime this year? If they did, I think I would’ve remembered it because I like to save my petty grievances in a little compartment in my dark heart and this is a petty grievance I would’ve treasured so I could feel like we were all getting a raw deal and deserved better.

You know, taking a side in this dispute is sort of like taking a side in a marital dispute and you don’t really know either of the two parties very well. At least it’s like that for me. It is encouraging to see two other great teams do dumb stuff though. I don’t really follow other teams that much so this might allow me to be less discouraged by my own club when they do dumb stuff since it’s obvious that other clubs do the same thing.

Dodgers World Series champions

This is pretty tense stuff, but even if the Dodgers screw the pooch in the ninth inning, they still have two more games in their back pocket. I’d just as soon see this season end here so we can move on with our own stuff. Deals awards. Etc.

The Dodgers have now walked nine Yankees. That’s right nine. I’m amazed they’re still in this game.

7-6 Dodgers

Tie and Ohtani up

Let’s go, Dodgers, clap, clap, clap, clap clap CLAP

And he gets out of it.

After 2 outs in the bottom of the fifth Vesia loads the bases. It’s nice to see other people’s teams do frustrating stuff.

So after Cole’s blunder at first base I wonder if the national media is going to scold the Yankees for their “pitcher fielding” foibles as I recall we were scolded in 2006. Or if “the pinstripes” allure will frighten them from taking things that far…

“Yankee Stadium in stunned silence” according to Dodgers radio. 5 runs on 3 hits, 2 NY errors and a blunder. Bottom of 5th now.

OMG just checked in again.

Just tuned in and it’s the second inning and it’s Yankees over the Dodgers 4–0. Jack Flaherty just got cheaper.

Flaherty v Cole. Pretty good starting pitchers to say the least.

I get it, but this stuff penalizes teams that are trying to utilize every under utilized angle possible to squeak out a win. It’s a way of making sure that the big teams with lots of money make it to the top.

Ohtani needs to do something Ohtaniesque in this bandbox tomorrow night. Like three HRs or something. He’s totally capable of it.

Shohei Ohtani strikes out swinging with a runner on in the top of the seventh in a chance to tie the game.

Wells now with a homer. I think the Yankees might win this game.

Yankee grand slam makes it 5–2

So the Dodgers starter was starting his very first game as an MLB player in the World Series of all places and he lasts three innings. Is this “pitching chaos” or just a mistake?

I may be wrong, but I think Parker Meadows could’ve chased down that fly ball to center By Austin Wells.

The TV feed I’m following is one batter behind the atbat app on my phone. Guess I can’t keep looking at it.
