Jack Flaherty vs. Gerrit Cole, 5p.
The 2024 World Series isn't about me, I know. But for the first time, I felt good about a game in advance (Game 4)...and it did not work out well. The Dodgers got bombed, and they wake up Wednesday to face the best pitcher in the game, Gerrit Cole.
My stomach is already turning as I write this, on Tuesday evening.
I mean, have you seen the bottom of our lineup? I sure as hell haven't, because they've been disposed of rather quickly this postseason. Max Muncy is batting .178 and went 0-for-3 with 3 Ks on Tuesday. Kiké Hernandez then follows; he was 0-for-4. Gavin Lux went 1-for-3 to *raise* his average to .188. Will Smith had a HR and he's still only batting .154.
At least we've got Tommy Edman batting ninth, but even he went 0-for-1 yesterday, plus he had his second fielding error of the series.
We just got punched in the mouth in Game 4, and we rolled over. I know, you could argue it wasn't our best set of arms, save maybe Daniel Hudson. But I still expected better from the Dodgers in Game 4. There is a clear path for the Yankees to win this World Series, starting with their ace, Gerrit Cole, winning tonight.
If the Dodgers have any fight, they'd better start showing it--and it was great to see Mookie Betts pissed off in the locker-room interviews post-game.
Here's hoping the rest of the team shows that same amount of fire in Game 5.

I’m awake, and feel awful.
Still nervous.
Me too and I'm really unhappy about those two 'New Yorkers' mauling Mookie.
yep i was confident about winning yesterday. now im just pissed they didnt. better sack up today.
I just saw on CNN that those two mutants (at least one of which is a season ticket holder) who attacked Mookie last night will not be allowed in the least coasts stadium for tonight's game. It's a good start but I freaking want blood.
GAME 5
Ohtani DH
Betts RF
Freeman 1B
Hernandez, T. LF
Muncy 3B
Hernandez, K. CF
Edman SS
Smith C
Lux 2B
Flaherty P
Today would be a great day for Muncy to get his first hit of the World Series.
ESPN alert says that the Yankees gave the tickets from the banned fans to a 15-year-old cancer patient and his family.
That is cool of the Yankees!
My stomach is in knots. I'm changing into Dodgers gear right now.
OKAY MIGHTY DODGER BLUE!!!!!!! REMEMBER, NO PRISONERS TONIGHT. A LITTLE BLOOD WILL BE OKAY, THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lets do this!!
Why is Shohei swinging for the fences when he can't even power it out of the infield?
@karen: nice!
Mookie grounds weakly. Two outs.
Very easy inning for Cole there. We look awful.
And the bottom of this lineup is worse with this new order.
I love that those tickets were given to that young man and his family. I really do but if you ask me the Stankmees are putting perfume on a pig and it's a day late and a dollar short. We all saw who their fanbase is last night. They're freaking animals and NOT in the good way.
of course
DAMMIT
We are fucking doomed. We are going to be the first team to lose a World Series after being up 3-0.
Don’t like that one bit.
I don’t like that either.
Fuck this shit. I am so depressed.
So Judge hits a 2 run homer and Chisholm a solo and JOE DAVIS peed all over himself, Don't piss me off again Davis. I'll hunt you homer ass down.
Don't get down Blue Fans...we got plenty of time to lock this mofo down.
There might indeed be crying in baseball, jennifer garner
@karen, I need that encouragement
The problem is, the next time we can score is the fourth inning (given this lineup)
Who's next here. Teoscar?
here's automatic out Muncy
Muncy doesn't even swing. Pathetic, Max!
weak.sauce
Offense looking terrible so far.
Another 1-2-3 inning for Cole. Too easy.
Our Boys look just awful. Our Bullpen Dogs are rested and hyper so let's not get down yet!!!!!
What the hell, Flaherty? This is horrendous.
Flaherty lasts only four outs. Fucking awful.
if we use yesterday's logic Dodgers would give up and save the pen for Friday. we're down 4-0. fuck it. an extra days rest.
Let’s go dawgs!
Will Smith can't hit, and he now also can't catch the ball.
Banda walks Soto. Judge is gonna crank another one.
hi! I came here to do some damage control, we are not doomed, it’s just a couple of bumps on the road. I think all the thirst online for Flaherty, sort of cursed him, some things I have read, have made me blush, young girls these days!
And now Banda can't even find the zone. What the hell
Gerrit Cole has a NO HITTER
Will Smith is fucking horrible
Gerrit Cole no longer has a perfect game, though.
That Ohtani injury is going to be the fulcrum of this series. He can't swing. He looks like fucking Will Smith up there.
Another solo bomb. 5-0 now.
Totally falling apart.
5-0 NYY through 3. And we have no hits.
Mookie with a leadoff walk, so we can strand him.
We still have NO HITS
Judge robs Freddie of extra bases.
Freddie almost goes yard, but Judge makes a great catch. One out.
We still have NO HITS
Teoscar grounds out, and now we're at the black hole for another two innings.
FUCK
Muncy you are so horrible now
I am furious. This is pathetic.
Gerrit Cole is pitching a no-hitter
Gerrit Cole is pitching a no-hitter
Gerrit Cole is pitching a no-hitter
WE GOT A HIT!
We win!
Another fielding mistake loads the bases.
RANCHO ARDIENDO
Ohtani’s chance now.
strikeout king
Lux and Ohtani down on strikes. Now Betts.
Wow!
Three horrible fielding errors gives us a run.
Stankees are looking like the Keystone Cops on defense.
Attaboy Freddie!!
wonderful
teo!!
Tie game! Holy shitballs!
fuck yeah
TEO TIES US UP!!!!!!
Time for the dawgs to get to work.
i still can’t believe they pulled it off even if I was rooting for a comeback
ps: is there an app that makes posting easier?
stop fucking around Vesia
@karina...i don't know. this may be it
I cannot believe that last inning
@Karina...I think this is it
Horrible top of the sixth there
bullshit
Down by one again.
stupid
Our Dawgs can’t find the zone now.
Treinen gets a groundout to end the inning. 6-5 going to the 7th.
6-5 Yankees through 6. We need to sack up here.
I'm crazily trying to restore comments! It is definitely penalizing cursing.
Shohei cannot hit worth shit.
That is a heroic start from Gerrit Cole. Wow.
Freddie walks and Cole is finally out.
At least we are into the Yankees' pen...maybe?
I still don't feel good.
Boy, google / blogger doesn't like QuadSevens' comments! Sheesh
come on munchy. its snack time
muncy sucks
I am done with Max Muncy
Max Muncy has been a big 0 in this World Series.
Well look. The truth is we don't deserve to be in this game. Don't let the score fool you.
I know. Boo Blogger!
Here's the most recent comment that is currently sitting in "spam"--from May 2022

Tigers announcers are boring as fuck. They need coffee or cocaine or both to liven up the joint. Back to mute.
spank, with all due respect, I'm leaving that one in there for now as it makes me laugh when I see it
John Smoltz is in awe of Gerrit Cole.
And Joe and Smoltzy discuss the obvious: we're out of pitchers this game.
Hoo boy, here's that black hole at the bottom of our lineup
can we pinch hit for slappy?
Oh man. And it's Slappy. I'm foreseeing a triple play.
oh shit
Let’s have a repeat of the 5th inning! Come on!
I can't take this pressure
🕯️🙏🏻
tied y'all
I'll take those runs
Two sac flies and we have the lead! 7-6!
And Buehler warming in the pen. Oh boy!
We really needed a base hit from Freddie there.
Not good with this part of the Yankees' order and no more arms.
I am afraid I am going to forget how to breathe
🕯️🙏🏻 (X2)
judge is awake
3 more outs!!
OMG...my freaking blood pressure in going to blow off the top of my head
I did not think Treinen was going to escape that one.
Wow.
@karen: I am right with you. This is intense.
Need some Geico runs!
The real score of this game should be Yankees 6, Dodgers 2.
And instead it's Dodgers 7, Yankees 6.
No pictures on the scoreboard!
Up to Buehler to close it out.
They can and will do this! 🙏🏻🕯️ (X3)
Bottom of the ninth SoSG Nation!! Buckle up!
Mrs Q7 and I are on the edge of our seats.
That missed opportunity in the ninth is gonna bite us.
And every time Joe Davis talks ahead, it does not bode well for the Dodgers.
THATS A WRAP!!
WORLD SERIES CHAMPS!!
Jobs done, Kobe!!
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...THE 2024 WORLD CHAMPION LOS ANGELES DODGERS!!
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! WE MAKE PARTY! CHEERS!
*hugs and kisses sister*
