My Mets will be scoring three in the first btw
when you think about it, ohtani is only good because of ww2
Quick inning, I wish we tired Quintana more. But I won't be mad with a HR to start the game. Just praying Yamamoto can keep it together tonight.
Yankees vs DodgersNew York vs Los AngelesWall Street vs HollywoodThe clash of titans, how is this NOT kino?

>>145118210Happy hour margaritas
Tacos vs. PizzaWhat will it be anons?
>japanese players
Worse thing about this will be if Yamamoto gets spooked and loses control of his FB after giving up a homer to that pitch.
Alonso is so easy to pitch to
What the fuck is Yamamoto's problem? Like if he has a good playoff start its a 100% guarantee he'll choke next game. It was the same in Japan. 30 mill. NO REFUNDS.
FARTANI gunna hit another just wait This is gunna be a SEMEN EXPLOSION kinda game WUDGE WUDGE WUDGE
>>145118577Ur mum’s ass lel

FUK THE METS
>>145118603Suit yourself necrophiliac
This thread is moving faster than stankees thread
Is Bryan Stow watching this game?
>>145118668
Please save us Based Banana Man
>>145118668The Yankees are gonna win it. It's obvious. The Mets-Didgers series is more competitive
>>145118668This matchup series is actually competitive whereas the Yankees are blowing out frauds
FIVE BATTERS UNTIL OHTANI. I REPEAT, FIVE BATTERS!Get Ben Verlander on the horn so he knows to start edging
>>145118668Because the ALCS is an unserious series starring a team no one cares about
>>145118691Bryan Stow is still alive?
its already over
before dodger stadium
>>145118736
>>145118772kino
>>145118736TWO OUTS BASES FULL GRAND SLAM COMING!!!!!
I hope that the dinger at the top doesn't make the Dodgers impatient tonight. I want to grind their pitcher, not blow them out.
>>145118668I think it is racist that they changed their name from the Indians. They should have just changed their logo to a street shitter.
Remember, if you are not a fan of the Dodgers or the Mets make sure to let everybody in the thread know! Especially if your shitty team has long been eliminated. Thanks guys, keep it up!
>>145118772reminds me of mars

I'm a girl (trans) and Ohtani is so hot... Go Dodgers!
I love how the DBZ fusion pose has evovled.
>>145119437It is victory for Chris Taylor when he makes contact. Lux can't be that bad.
Calling it right now, Ohtani strikes out in the top of the 9th, representing the tying run
>>145119406More like FART post LOL

>>145120517Mets do, doyer fans just started watching baseball this year
>>145120516Call it the full count challenge. The batter can challenge it a called strike and if he’s wrong he’s out and if he’s right he takes first. This helps stop these blind ass umps from getting got by a literal squat behind home plate
>>145120549Erm excuse me i started watching after the last strike thank you

dodgers world series coded
Mets sisters...our response?
The ninth inning. Two outs. Yankees up 5 to 4. Citi Field buzzed like a power line about to snap. Every breath felt sharp, like it might cut the lungs on its way in. There was no excitement, no joy—just tension, stretched tight over the city like a tarp before the storm hits.This was supposed to be baseball. But it wasn’t. Not anymore. Not since Grimace.When he first showed up, people laughed. Thought it was some kind of stunt. A bloated purple mascot, all smiles, waddling onto the field to “energize the team.” But it didn’t take long before the laughter dried up. First, the Mets got good. Too good. Started winning games they had no business winning, sweeping teams that should’ve wiped the floor with them. Every bounce, every call, every clutch play broke their way.Then, the city changed. No one said it out loud, but we all felt it—Grimace was the city. It started small: purple posters plastered across Times Square, subway announcements ending with his voice, laughing, low and wet. The mayor vanished without a word. Cops stopped patrolling. And people… people started to act differently. There was a glaze over their eyes, like they were waiting for something. Something worse.At first, we thought Grimace was just a symbol—a creepy new mascot. Then we started noticing things. Like how he never seemed to blink. Or how the lights dimmed whenever he was near. Or how, on nights when the Mets won, the air smelled different. Metallic.And now, here we were. Bottom of the ninth. Game seven of the World Series. One out away from a Yankees win—an impossible win. A lifeline. But it didn’t feel like a celebration waiting to happen. It felt like standing on the edge of a cliff. And Grimace was down there, waiting.
>>145124003He stood on the top step of the Mets dugout, hulking, silent, as if the world only existed where his shadow touched. There was nothing human in him. No expression, no anger. Just that grin—wide, empty, and endless. His bulbous hands twitched now and then, like he was learning how fingers worked.It felt colder with him there. It had been getting colder all game, even though the forecast called for a warm night.The batter—Lindor—dug into the box. He glanced at the dugout once, just once, and froze. That was the thing about Grimace. No matter where you were in the stadium, if you looked at him, you could swear he was looking back.Clay Holmes was on the mound, his glove trembling just enough to notice. One more pitch. One more out. But everyone knew it wasn’t that simple. Not with Grimace watching.The pitch came—a cutter, low and inside. Lindor swung, a crack slicing through the cold night. The ball shot down the right field line. A line drive, screaming toward the corner.Judge ran. He sprinted faster than I’d ever seen him move, chasing the ball like a man running from a nightmare. His strides were desperate, like he knew if he didn’t catch it, something worse than a loss was coming. He reached out, glove wide, and leapt—(Smack.)He had it. The third out. Game over. Yankees win.The roar from the crowd started, then faltered, then stopped altogether. Everyone waited. No one looked toward the dugout, but we all felt him there.Judge stood frozen in right field, clutching the ball like it might burst into flames. The team spilled from the dugout, but they didn’t celebrate. They gathered at the edge of the field, eyes flickering toward the dark shape on the Mets’ bench. Grimace stood perfectly still, his grin locked in place.It wasn’t just a loss. It felt like something sacred had been broken.
>>145124039And then, he moved. Slowly, as if he had all the time in the world, Grimace turned and waddled back into the shadows of the dugout. No one cheered. No one dared breathe too loudly.The lights flickered. Once. Twice. And then they held steady. But the cold lingered.Judge still hadn’t moved. None of them had. I wanted to call out, say something, anything—but the words wouldn’t come.The scoreboard glowed in the dark, but it didn’t feel like a victory. The Yankees had won. I knew it. Everyone knew it.But something was wrong.The players began to drift off the field, slowly, heads down, like men marching away from a battlefield they weren’t sure they’d survived. The crowd shuffled toward the exits, quiet as a funeral procession.I sat there in the booth, staring down at the empty field, waiting for the relief to hit. But it never came.Because Grimace was still out there.And the way he’d walked off—like he was in no hurry—made one thing clear. This wasn’t over.The Yankees won the game. But Grimace... Grimace never leaves. He just waits.And sooner or later, everyone comes back to him.
