Congratulations to the L.A. Dodgers for Beating the N.Y. Yankees, in Yankee Stadium, Crushing the Souls of Millions of Yankee Fans Everywhere

AP, with a heart-of-the-matter headline:

Yankees blow 5-run lead with epic defensive meltdown as Dodgers rally to clinch World Series

Mike Fitzpatrick, writing the story for AP:

Just when it appeared Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees were right back in this World Series, they all but gave away the trophy.

An epic meltdown of defensive miscues, beginning with Judge's embarrassing error in center field, helped the Los Angeles Dodgers rally in a five-run fifth inning that tied the score at 5.

As much as I detest watching the Dodgers win, I very much enjoy seeing the Yankees lose, especially in their own house, in front of their awful fans[1], and in come-from-behind fashion.

Pinstripe Alley has a good recap of that disastrous fifth inning, calling it

one of the worst innings in the Yankees’ long, storied history.

Thomas Carannante writing for FanSided:

Care to know how many teams facing World Series elimination blew a five-run lead and lost? Zero! Care to know how many times in World Series history a team blew a five-run lead and lost? Six ... out of 233. It was an historic choke job that takes this franchise's modern day failures to new heights.

I didn’t watch the game, but I’ll definitely do so now, so I can delight in this Yankees disaster.

Yes, I’m a petty, petty man.


  1. The Yankees should cancel the season tickets of these two “fans.” I hope they banned from visiting every MLB ballpark in the country. Heck, they should be banned from attending Little League games. What they did was egregious and could have resulted in a sprained or broken wrist. If I were Mookie Betts, I’d sue for assault. ↩︎
