SOURCE SPORTS: Yankees Fans Balk At Fat Joe’s Performance At Opening Of World Series Game 3 In The Bronx

October 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After Ice Cube took the field at Dodger Stadium on Saturday and performed his classic hit “Today Was A Good Day” before Los Angeles’ Game 2 win, who else would’ve been better to return the favor in the Bronx other than the BX’s heavy hitter Fat Joe? According to Yankees fans, it could’ve been anybody else, especially after the matching 4-2 loss against L.A..

Even though Joey Crack pulled out some of his biggest bops of the new millennium, including “Lean Back”, “All The Way Up” and of course, the Empire State anthem “New York”, the overall consensus of Yanks fans felt that Joe’s performance didn’t just miss the mark in exciting the Yankee Stadium crowd, but brought down the morale on 161 Street and River Avenue.

Were the fans right? Well, the Yankees could not score a run until the last out in the bottom of the ninth inning with a two-run HR from Alex Verdugo in the team’s valiant, but losing effort. The Bronx Bombers still have a chance to turn the series around tonight in Game 4, but fighting against a 0-3 deficit against Ohtani and the Dodgers might not end with a “Good Day” for the Yankees.

SOURCE SPORTS: Yankees Face World Series Sweep In The Bronx By Dodgers After 4-2 Loss In Game 3

October 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After a crushing 4-2 loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 3 of the World Series in Yankee Stadium, the Bronx Bombers face a sweep, with Dodgers pitching not allowing any runs until the ninth inning against Judge, Soto and the Yankees.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees did manage to get on the scoreboard with a two-out, two-run home run from Alex Verdugo.

The Dodgers jumped on the Yankees in the top of the first inning with a two-run shot from Freddie Freeman, giving L.A. a 2-0 lead, which only increased in the fourth inning. He’s just 1 of 3 players to hit home runs in the first three games of any World Series in history.

The Dodgers made sure to keep the Yanks off the board when Mookie Betts robbed Jazz Chisholm Jr. of a base hit with a sliding grab in center field in the bottom of the fourth inning. Betts, on the very next play, threw out Giancarlo Stanton at home plate for the last out of the inning to keep the guys in pinstripes from scoring until the very last out of the game.

The Dodgers kept the Yankees off the board with their stellar performance on the mound led by Walker Buehler, who took the W in five innings, with five strikeouts and only allowing two hits and two walks.

The boys from the Bronx have a real battle on their hands to keep their World Series hopes alive in Game 4, which will be played in Yankee Stadium tomorrow.

SOURCE SPORTS: [WATCH] Ice Cube Performs “Today Was A Good Day” Before Dodgers Win Over Yankees In Game 2

October 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There no secret that the New York Yankees have their work cut out for them in the historic 2024 World Series, the most-watched MLB Championship Series in almost 40 years, but Ice Cube opening up Game 2 with his performance of “Today Was A Good Day” in Dodger Stadium was a precursor to L.A.’s 4-2 win over the Bronx Bombers.

In the third inning, Dodgers’ Freddie Freeman and Teoscar Hernandez hit back to back homers off Yanks’ left hander Carlos Rodón, giving the Dodgers a three-run lead in a game they went on the win 4-2 to take a 2-0 series advantage. Hernández and Freeman became the second pair of Dodgers teammates to hit back-to-back homers in the World Series, joining Pedro Guerrero and Steve Yeager, who did it in Game 5 of the 1981 Fall Classic, also against the Yankees.

The Dodgers fulfilled Cube’s premonition that Los Angeles would have a good day, forcing the Yankees to go back to the Bronx and attempt to reverse the Dodgers’ momentum.

Additionally, with the series returning to New York and L.A. star Shohei Ohtani’s left shoulder subluxation which may force him to sit out at least some of the World Series, just might give the Yanks enough of an advantage tonight in Game 3.
