Kike pitching an out to close out a win works,too. :joy::joy::joy:

Let’s just hope it doesn’t get to that.

We are all Blue Jay fans, right? Unless you are a life-long Dodger fan.

Didn’t Danny Ainge play for the Blue Jays?

I’m a Dodgers fan from my earliest memories in SoCal.

As a kid, my dad told me the story about Tommy Lasorda being kicked out of his first game managing a minor league team… before the game started… and I was hooked.

(That game happened in Ogden, BTW, so there’s a tie to Utah.)

Tommy was also at one point an aspiring NBA ref, was working a preseason game with another ref, who Tommy got to agree they weren’t going to let the coaches or anyone else give them any abuse.

ā€œThe best defense is a good offenseā€, right? Right!?!?!

Well, when the coaches inevitably started complaining about calls, they responded with a barrage of expletive insults unsuitable for public audiences. That was the end of Tommy’s NBA reffing carreer.

In a way, he was SNL before SNL.

If you are against the Dodgers you are anti-American. It’s just science.

Just need to get the win tonight, then get another in Toronto to close it out.

Sometimes winning championships on the road can be fun.

It was for Michael Jordan.

cheering for the Dodgers is the equivalent of rooting for the Russians during the 1980 Winter Olympics

Will the Jays get an invite to the WH. I mean, Toronto is well below the 49th parallel and south of Seattle. Basically Detroit east :wink: . And isn’t Canada our 51st state? I kid. Not really a fan of either team nor MLB anymore (Rockies will do that to you), but Vlad and Ohtani are fun.

I absolutely HATE Al Michaels and his ā€œdo you believe in miracles?ā€ line from Lake Placid.

But… then he redeemed himself calling the World Series between the Giants and A’s in 1989, particularly the earthquake game.

Me: "We were watching the game, the next thing you know Al Michaels is narrating the helicopter video of natural gas fires in the neighborhoods in north San Francisco.

ā€œEven better than the game!ā€

Cheering for the Dodgers is like cheering for the Cowboys in the movie ā€œLittle Giantsā€ or the Yankees in ā€œThe Bad News Bearsā€.

Not cheering for the Dodgers is anti-Capitalism and anti-American. Don’t be mad because your socialist team owners want league subsidies to go into their pockets instead of product on the field. Your anger at the Dodgers is misplaced when your rich owners pocket large payouts to produce an inferior product.

Dodgers fan here (jumping around). I was raised by a Dodgers man and will forever be a Dodgers fan.

Socialism hasn’t worked at all for the NFL, that league is about to collapse, and the competitive balance is unwatchable :confused:

Baseball is headed for a lockout in 2027. They desperately need to address the inequality (realizinh that there are problems on both sides - teams that refuse to spend and teams that overspend).

So you’re saying that all people who aren’t Dodger fans are socialist America haters. Seems like there might be a cabinet position available for you currently.

Is that an issue?

It’s kind of funny we haven’t had repeat titles this century basically in baseball but the NFL has had dynasties with a cap. It’s almost as if the problem is the location of the dynasty. Also, NBA and MLB are more global games compared to the NFL and if anything has taught us recently Americans tend to hate anything global.
