    Edit:What China said


    Also, I don't believe Illitch will ever go into sell mode while he's still alive.

    i don't get it

    Does St Louis already have a pinch runner/ base stealer type? Cause that would be my guess. Baseball down the stretch and in playoffs becomes very specialized. Every playoff team usually carries someone who almost solely is for pinch running.

    Wow...I guess if the opportunity presents itself, improve on what you already good at. Toronto paid a big price for Tulo there, giving up Hoffman (their #1 pick last year) and the other reliever along with Reyes. I would guess they still have some ammo left to fire for an SP, but they're bucking the trend right now and loading up on O during a pitchers era.

    Their 1-6 now...in some order, but my best guess.....Travis, Tulo, Donaldson, Bautista, Encarnacion, Martin. Damn.

    You have to think the Rockies are looking to immediately flip reyes for more young pieces. I'd love to see him head to my twins, as he only has 2 more years left on his now overpriced deal, and that would fit the timeline for our next SS prospect.

    LOL Angels acquire Victorino. Bold move, there.

    He's 34, but honestly he seems pretty much done. I actually thought he was done 3 years ago, as he really sucked during the time the Dodgers had him. Then he had that surprisingly good 2013 with the Red Sox, but he's been back to being mostly useless since then.

    In the meantime, Dodgers have been very quiet.

    If they do get Hamels or Price, look for Jose De Leon to be one of the pieces they give up. They are unlikely to part with Seager or Urias -- or at least I hope that's still their stance.

    There are also rumors that the Dodgers will acquire Yovani Gallardo, but that honestly isn't too exciting to me. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/0...-gallardo.html

    Seager is not going anywhere. I would hope Urias is not as well, but if pinched he might be the one to go. De Leon, Barnes, Holmes, Verdugo....some combo of 2 of those would be my guess towards getting a top flight starter, for a 2nd level pitcher maybe 1 of those plus Lee + another C prospect

    This is the 30th season AFTER the royals last won

    Oh and the Dodgers have more success since 1981, why go with 1985?
    How many years has it been since KC celebrated a WS victory? Has it been over 30 calendar years? Are you literally this retarded? Has the 30th anniversary of that date happened?

    Honestly, I picked 30 years out of the air, obviously knowing KC won in 1985, Im also very close to 30. It was an arbitrary number. But my sentiment holds true. Today is 7/28/2015. Since 7/28/1985 the Kansas City Royals have had more playoff success than the LA Dodgers. Thats fact. Despite LA spending hundreds of millions, likely into the billions, of dollars more than the Royals. As a Dodgers fan that has to hurt. Regardless of any other spin you want to put on it. The Royals were historically bad for 20+ years during that stretch, yet they STILL have had more playoff success. So listening to Druff drone on about baseball like he knows all, and listening to him continue to sneer at the Royals and say they are the poor man's Dodgers and the fake Dodgers is obviously both irritating and laughable. The Dodgers are a fucking joke and everyone sees it except the Dodgers faithful. I mean not only has their greatest rival won 3/5 rings, but the Dodgers dont even match up resumes with the Kansas City Royals.

    Ouch....
    It's hilarious that we as a society think everyone can be a dr, a lawyer, an engineer. Some people are just fucking stupid. Why can't we just accept that?

    Did you see a guy named Terrance Gore in the playoffs last year for KC? Hes literally the worlds worst baseball player. He cant hit in A ball, cant defend, cant get on base. But the dude can fucking fly. You need someone like that on your team come playoff time. Rajai Davis could be that guy for someone. He can probably play a tad bit better than Gore can too

    You just happened to pick a time frame that included the 1 world series your team has won. It's just coincidence? Sizzle, your grasp of bullshit is awe inspiring.

    Let's go with 31 years instead, when comparing playoff success.

    Yeah, when debating time frames people routinely choose numbers like 31 or 34 or whatever you guys want to stretch it to right? Or do people say shit like "the last 10, 20, 30 years"? Obviously most normal fucking people choose nice round numbers.

    Prior to my 30 year parameters, the Dodgers also won the WS in 1981. I wasnt alive then, so I couldnt care less. You guys are saying im stretching but im not, you fucks are.

    Why are we even arguing over some shit from 30+ fucking years ago? I actually hate arguments about sports shit that happened decades ago. Lets look more recently. Say 1 year? 5 years? 10 years? 15 years? 20 years? 25 years? Which team has had more success getting to the top of the mountain? I'll take losing the WS with a runner on 3rd in game 7 once vs losing in the NLCS and NLDS 10x any day of the week.

    I only said 31 because the Tigers won in 84. It was a joke.

    Aren't you the one arguing over what happened 30 years ago? I highly doubt that China, a Sox fan, needs to argue what his team did in the 80's. You obviously said 30 years because your team won exactly 30 years ago. The fact that you're trying to say it was an arbitrary number that meant nothing, and it was just a round number, is fucking hilarious.
