As Red Sox fan just going as a neutral again (and rueing the fact i didnt go when it was sox/yankees ). hoping itll be a decent game and looking forward to gorging on all the food there.

I didn't go the first year and regretted it so went to Cubs-Cardinals last year. Great day out.

All Is good in the World again.

Yankees have a top tier left handed Slugger and being the best team in the AL.

Yeah i got some comp tickets for the Sunday last year, we was sat near one of the bullpens. Quality day.

Was hoping might get some again but is getting too close to the date now (last year i got them a month before) so we bought some along the LH foul line, but it looks a better view this time.

Wonder which celeb fans theyll have this year? was pretty cool seeing Bill Murray and Nick Offerman last time out.

Damn, Acuna’s done his ACL. Wasn’t having his best season but you always thought an offensive explosion was just around the corner. Huge blow for the Braves since they’re in a division where they have 0 margin for error. Suspect a trade will be coming. Maybe the Jays can ditch Springer for anything.

Seinfeld maybe? John Oliver?!

Second ACL tear for Acuna.  Devastated.  On track for a hall of fame career and given all the trouble he had with the previous ACL recovery, I'm really sad for him.

Hopefully he comes back next year ready to go.

Sick of all the injuries in MLB.

It’s suffering mightily from really bad injuries. Trout can never stay healthy, Acuna is on the shelf for a year and an absolute boatload of pitchers are cooked.

Good shout, Jon Stewart perhaps? He is a mets fan too.

Only Phillies fan I know is Rob McElhenney

Trout really needs to start looking at being a full time DH.

He can't play the Centrefield with his body breaking down, he's missed 250 games the last 3 seasons, I'd banish from playing anywhere in the Outfield and just let him DH.

I think he should ask for a trade and get away from that junkyard of a Franchise, must not be good for motivation plus the injuries on top. Change of scenery can rescue his career, Trout should be playing for a Contender.

Stewart's a very good suggestion. I've seen McElhenney in a promo vid for the London Series so he has to be a possibility.

Dodgers say thank you to the Mets. Only they could bail them out of the longest losing streak in 5 years, by blowing a 2-0 lead in the 9th and then losing in extra innings, with some awful errors along the way.

I see Angel Hernandez has retired with immediate effect, says something how awful he was that theirs much rejoicing throughout the league, easily the worst umpire in MLB.

Awful, had to always make it about him.

I remember WS 2001, and him arguing with EL Duque, I think that was his first ever WS appearance as an Umpire, he had to steal the limelight from Cuba's most famous Baseball player at the time.

I believe when he signed his retirement papers his signature was 4 inches outside the box. 

Yeah the calls were horrific, one game were he called 3 strikes in a row, the pitches were well away from the strike zone & should have been balls, amazing he had a long career given how bad his calls were.

[RedSince86]

Imagine being a Pitcher knowing Hernandez is the Umpire.

Mets have been doing this sort of thing loads recently. The slightest hint of trouble and they fold in an instant.

As it turns out there's quite a few famous Phillies fans:

Celebrity Phillies fans include Bradley Cooper, Kevin Bacon, Will Smith, Tina Fey, Amanda Seyfried, Rob McElhenney, Miles Teller, Aubrey Plaza and Ryan Phillippe. Perhaps the most famous Phillie Phanatics, however, are President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden.

It took him another full year after he was cleared to play to play at his normal level.  Don't be surprised if it happens again.  He should be back for spring training next year, assuming there are no complications, but may very well take another year to get back to his best.  That's 4 years out of his career that could be wasted due to injury.  Shame really as he's so fun to watch.

I'll be bloody gutted if Juan Sato doesn't sign with the Yankees, he was born to be Yankee, clutch again today.
