Castle Black, located near the far northern edge of Westeros, is one of the most iconic locations in the series. It sits at the base of the massive Wall, which separates the Seven Kingdoms from the dangers that lie beyond what is personal networking.

Jonathan Roberts, the professional illustrator who drew the maps used in The Lands of Ice and Fire based on Martin’s instructions, was asked about the discrepancy between the TV map (based on earlier drafts) and the now-canon world map for the books he drew, which are different east of the Dothraki and Qarth. Roberts offered his unofficial opinion that it isn’t really an “inconsistency”, because again, the world map he drew is intended to be a map written by educated people in Westeros, and their knowledge about semi-mythical lands of the very far east is simply inaccurate to begin with (such as real-life maps produced in Medieval Europe that got the geography of China completely wrong). Thus neither the map the TV series was using nor his map can really be said to be an “accurate” map of Yi Ti and the regions of the Farther East.

While there is no apparent physical difference between the astronomical bodies of the fantasy world and real-life, certain culture-specific aspects are different, specifically that cultures in Westeros developed different constellations than those in real-life. There is no indication that the stars are outright arranged differently. Rather, because the Ancient Greeks did not exist in their world, logically, figures from Greek mythology such as “Orion” were not used as shapes for constellations: they played “connect-the-dots” differently with the stars in the sky, using figures from their own mythology. For example, one constellation is known as the “Crone’s Lantern”, referencing the Crone from the Faith of the Seven. Another constellation referred to several times in the novels is the Ice Dragon.

The official TV maps have also curiously left out the Summer Isles, Naath, and Sothoryos. These locations do clearly appear in the opening credits sequence, however—from Seasons 3 to 4 onward—just not in official HBO guide maps. Naath and Sothoryos appear where they do in the books and in accurate detail—given that they first appeared in the “Map of Slaver’s Bay” and its surrounding first released with the third novel in 2000. Prior to Seasons 1 and 2, the novels already gave the general indication that the Summer Isles are south of the Narrow Sea (southeast of Westeros and southwest of Essos), but west of Sothoryos. Because the TV series already had this information, the appearance of the Summer Isles in the Season 3-4 opening credits generally matches this—but an official map of the Summer Isles was not released until The Lands of Ice and Fire, so their brief appearance in the opening credits is often at the edge of the map, and more vaguely representational. This is not a “change”, so much as the TV series has simply avoided using the official map detail of the Summer Isles from The Lands of Ice and Fire.

Game 1 world series

There was plenty of drama before the grand slam as well. The Dodgers scored the first run, but the Yankees responded with a titanic homer from Giancarlo Stanton. Both starting pitchers, Gerrit Cole and Jack Flaherty, had good starts, but Flaherty came out in line for the loss.

The Dodgers are marking their fourth World Series appearance since 2017 and are looking for their first championship in a full season since 1988 (Los Angeles won it all in the pandemic-shortened, 60-game 2020 season). Dave Roberts’ club booked its latest trip to the World Series by defeating the No. 4 San Diego Padres in five games and winning the NL pennant over the No. 6 New York Mets in six games.

In the top of the 9th inning, Yankees Gleyber Torres hit what appeared to be a go-ahead homer, but the umpires quickly determined that a fan reached over the wall to catch the ball. Torres was sent to second base with a ground rule double, where he would be stranded when Aaron Judge popped out to end the inning.

Jazz Chisholm singles, then steals second. The Yankees have the go-ahead run in scoring position with one out. Anthony Volpe comes up after the Dodgers fall 3-0 behind to Anthony Rizzo and opt to intentionally walk him.

• Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s three stolen bases tied the World Series record, with 2016 Game 5 Rajai Davis (Cleveland), 2008 Game 3 B.J. Upton (Rays), 1968 Game 3 Lou Brock (Cardinals), 1967 Game 7 Brock, 1965 Game 5 Willie Davis (Dodgers) and 1909 Game 3 Honus Wagner (Pirates). Two of Chisholm’s steals came in the 10th inning, making him the second player with multiple stolen bases in a World Series extra inning, along with the Cubs’ Jimmy Slagle in 1907 Game 1.

Game 2 world series 2024

Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit back-to-back home runs in the first inning for New York. Alex Verdugo’s RBI single chased Jack Flaherty in the second, and Giancarlo Stanton’s third-inning homer against Ryan Brasier built a 5-0 Yankees lead.

This might be the most star-studded series yet. MVPs Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge lead the power charge for their respective clubs, but Los Angeles also has former MVPs Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman while New York has superstars of the past and present in Giancarlo Stanton and Juan Soto.

After taking advantage of three miscues to erase a five-run, fifth-inning deficit during one of the most memorable midgame meltdowns in baseball history, the Dodgers used eighth-inning sacrifice flies from Gavin Lux and Mookie Betts to beat New York 7-6 on Wednesday night.

Yamamoto, who penned a 12-year contract worth $325m (£251m) – a Major League Baseball record for a pitcher – when he joined the Dodgers from the Japanese league last December, pitched into the seventh inning, with Soto’s homer the only hit he allowed.

Game 4 world series 2024

The New York Yankees’ shortstop found redemption and an old form in the third inning of a must-win Game 4, hitting a go-ahead grand slam to help his team avoid a sweep with an 11-4 win on Tuesday. Game 5 is scheduled for 8:08 p.m. ET Wednesday.

Perhaps the most memorable part of Game 4 was two Yankees fans quite literally ripping a baseball from Mookie Betts’ glove along the side wall in right field. Mookie reached over the wall to make the catch and the two fans basically mugged him. The were ejected from the stadium. Mookie is OK, fortunately. An unfortunate moment in an otherwise exciting game.

In the event of a potential Game 5, the Dodgers already know their pitching plan. Game 1 starter Jack Flaherty will return to the bump, hoping to replicate the 5 ⅓ strong innings he pitched in the Series opener.

Freddie Freeman hit a two-run home run to right field, breaking the record for most consecutive World Series games (six) with a home run. Freeman broke George Springer’s World Series mark of five that he set with the Houston Astros in 2017 and 2019. Freeman also broke the Dodgers’ franchise record for most RBIs in a World Series with nine.

Knack walked Austin Wells. After a double steal by Volpe and Wells to take third and second, Alex Verdugo drove in Volpe on a fielder’s choice grounder to second base. Lux tried to throw out Volpe at home plate, but his throw was a bit off the mark, and Volpe’s speed allowed him to slide past catcher Will Smith.
