If you want to find the actual video of me, it's right before Puig struck out in the first inning (it was a 3-2 count, and they showed me and others cheering for him).
I actually felt zero anxiety at the game yesterday. It was lovely. Great weather, open air, and the Dodgers winning from the first pitch.
I sat between 3B and LF, in the second row of the field level. Cost me $113.
Tonight the tickets in the same spot are more than double that.
Why? Not sure. Maybe because it's Friday, maybe because Kershaw is pitching, maybe because people got excited about yesterday's win.
All I know is that the Jew in me is happy he decided to go yesterday.
Also found a new shortcut to bypass some of the LA traffic to the stadium, so that was nice.
Rockies really wasting some great pitching.
They squeaked by against the Cubs in 13 innings, but they've pitched very well in 2 games against the Brewers, and right now they're 2 innings away from losing by a run again.
Dodgers/Brewers NLCS looking likely.
i've come for my medicine druff
come slurp at the alter of todge and recognize this a 30 year magic run
DARE I SAY WAKE UP THE ECHOS OF EVERY TAILLIGHT FROM THE 88 WORLD SERIES YUNG DODGERS PEOPLE
also by slurp sally i mean barely fellate him because he is literally dying
Is this a reference to the taillights of the idiots leaving Dodger Stadium with the team down 4-3 in the 9th, only to hear the Gibson HR announced on the radio?Quote:

This is pretty much a practice series before they face some real competition in the Brewers in the NLCS.
However, perhaps it's time for you to take your medicine in the Dodgers (very likely) making three consecutive NLCS.
i cant tell if todge is reverse sassing me by not immediately knowing what i was talking about but sall send OSA a fruit basket
todge were literally 100 percent in on the los yangeles dodgers this year and if anyone from skatz gets out of line i will roast them

Dodgers/Astros going to happen again.
The signs are all there.
Astros look the best in the AL, plus they had a much easier ALDS series than Boston/NY.
Dodgers may have some issues without home field against the Brewers (plus Yelich destroying the ball), but I think they will do it. They're still the deeper and more experienced team.
Sanlmar, think about this:
Division play started in 1969. This is the 50th season of it.
Dodgers have made it to the NLCS 13 times, which is tied for the most in NL (the other team with 13 is St. Louis).
Of those 13, 6 of them have been in the past 11 seasons: 2008, 2009, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018
Yes, they only won one of those previous 5, but how much can one criticize a team for making the LCS 6 times out of 11 seasons, and the past 3 straight?
I'm curious about the prices for the Brewers series. Milwaukee is by no means a high-profile opponent. There aren't a lot of rabid Brewers fans in LA willing to pay top dollar to sit in Dodger Stadium. At the same time, the prices for the NLDS were very weird -- very reasonable for Dodger game 1, very high for game 2. Prices were also very reasonable for the tiebreaker game against the Rockies, though I attributed that to the 1pm Monday start time, and the 90 degree weather. NLDS game 1 was at 5:37 and the weather was great.
I really would like to go to the NLCS this year, but I'm not paying outrageous prices.
Last year I went to an NLDS game and a World Series game. Dodgers won both, as they always do when I attend postseason games.
Druff are you content to just cash in a WSOP tourney? Or perhaps the end goal is a final table?
They are a perennial powerhouse during the regular season....because they spend big bucks.
From 1989 until now would you rather be the Dodgers or the Blue Jays? We have suffered through some miserable times, had a few shots and now there is some hope with our youngsters......But we won back to back titles so have 2 titles to Dodgers 0 since then.
the comparison seems unfair....during the period you cite, 1989 to present (29 years) about half of those the Dodger were saddled with some of the worst ownership ever--as miserable as the underfinanced Frank McCourt era was (2004-2012), the most dismal was the Fox Corp ownership (1998-2004) when it was again proved that franchise ownership by a large corporation is a mistake for baseball (see Yankees owned by CBS early 1960's)Quote:

As a Lakers fan, I can tell you that, yes, I'd rather have a perpetually competitive team than one which wins championships and then sucks for a long period of time.Quote:

My enjoyment of the Dodgers in 2017 was not defined by the single game played on November 1, 2017, when they lost the World Series in Game 7. Rather, my enjoyment of the team came from watching them dominate for most of the year, then dominate the playoffs, and then have an epic battle with the Astros, where they ended up on the wrong side.
The bottom line is that I got to watch a good and exciting team for the last 6 years, plus a competitive one which fell a bit short in 2012, plus a team which made the NLCS back-to-back in 2008 and 2009.
Championships are nice, but they're hard to enjoy years later when the team presently sucks.
I think the Dodgers front office has enough of a combination of money and smarts to make this team competitive for the foreseeable future. They do need to get a bit better at signing free agents (so far that's been mostly a fail), but they've been pretty good so far at finding diamonds off the scrap heap, and the farm system has produced well in recent years.
Justin Turner, Chris Taylor, and Max Muncy were all acquired by the Dodgers when no one else wanted them. Admittedly Turner was from the previous front office regime, but you do have to give the Dodgers credit for repeatedly finding these guys who seem like nobodies, and end up blowing up huge.
It’s only baseball Druff
I am sure you will have a fine regular season next year.
Move over Dan Druff there’s a new Druff in town
Woodruff is god.
Game is a disaster so far, yet somehow Dodgers are only down 2-1.
As it stands, they don't deserve to win today, but if they do, I'll take it.
Woodruff has been amazing. Good thing he won't be in for long.
