The Dodgers’ victory parade after winning the World Series was well-deserved and well-earned but, admittedly, it might’ve overstayed its welcome.<\/p>\n
Game 5 of the Fall Classic\u00a0against the Yankees was a horrifying debacle for New York, and the Dodgers just played better baseball, but LA players lined up to rub it in (and some seemingly still are) for perhaps a little too long afterwards.<\/p>\n
And the\u00a0Yankees didn’t exactly take kindly to it. It’s not hard to understand why, when the Dodgers’ critiques ranged from completely baffled to outright profane (Chris Taylor said the Yankees “s\u2014 down their leg) to nitpicky (Michael Kopech pointed out how many times Anthony Rizzo called mound meetings during the series).<\/p>\n
The Dodgers were called “sore winners” for their seemingly endless, merry laps around the Yankees.<\/p>\n
However, even former Yankees aren’t exactly doing themselves any favors when it comes to proving the Dodgers wrong.<\/p>\n
Jon Berti, who didn’t even play in the World Series but\u00a0took exception to the Dodgers’ trash-talk, was the Cubs’ starting second baseman during the Tokyo Series opener on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
In the top of the fifth (sound familiar?), Teoscar Hern\u00e1ndez smacked a grounder to third baseman Matt Shaw, who tossed it to Berti for the first out of what should’ve been a plausible double play.<\/p>\n
The Cubs got the force out on Tommy Edman at second, but Berti turned and threw the ball clear over first baseman Michael Busch’s head, which allowed the tying run to score for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
They went on to score two more in that inning to take the lead after what could’ve been an inning-ending play.<\/p>\n
