Vlad Jr. saying "Da Yankees lose!" ala David Ortiz, WITH David Oritz, in the postgame is hilarious. 😂

Also the talk of Judge answering everything except getting his first ring. Like it's owed to him. Plenty of good baseball players never won a championship.

Despite its best efforts, the broadcast will not get a large contingent of baseball fans to feel sorry about the World Series drought of... the NY Yankees.

Had a dream last night that I took a job making $11 an hour. Cool.

Playoff series are all about momentum. Game by game. Sure, nobody wants to trail in a series or have true must-win situations.

But look what can happen. Anything. Pressure shifts. Get one win. That's what's fun - or frustrating, maddening or exhilarating - about sports.

You can take Varland out of Minnesota, but you can't take the Minnesota outta him...

Aaron Judge hits a 3 run HR off the fair pole to tie it

The obsession with the best player needing a "moment."

He hits the homer 5 minutes ago, and pretty sure they've said "moment" 27 times on the broadcast.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s 3 straight games with at least a homer and 2 RBI tie 1969 Henry Aaron for the longest such streak to start a postseason (RBI official since 1920)

The only player with a longer streak with multiple RBI to begin a postseason: 2005 Reggie Sanders, 4

IBB to Vladdy G, and he still came around to score.

Blue Jays, Brewers understood the assignment.

Dodgers are the overachieving teacher's pet.

Phillies and Yankees wondering wtf happened.

If this was a must-win game for the Phillies, why is there a Game 3 in LA on the schedule? 🤔 Dodgers back to the NLCS, right?

The Blue Jays have scored 15 runs in 1+ 3 inn. of Postseason ball against the Yankees.

The Twins played four games of the 2003 ALDS and went into Game 3 of the 2004 ALDS vs. the Yankees before scoring 15 runs.

Everyone else is out here playing game 3, and the LAD showing they're just too cool for that.
