Letās just hope it doesnāt get to that.
We are all Blue Jay fans, right? Unless you are a life-long Dodger fan.
Didnāt Danny Ainge play for the Blue Jays?
Thanks for ruining the mood !
Iām 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 thereās 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 werenāt going to let the coaches or anyone else give them any abuse.
āThe 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 Tommyās NBA reffing carreer.
In a way, he was SNL before SNL.
If you are against the Dodgers you are anti-American. Itās just science.
Iām anti-American
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
. And isnāt 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 ādo you believe in miracles?ā line from Lake Placid.
But⦠then he redeemed himself calling the World Series between the Giants and Aās 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.
āEven better than the game!ā
Cheering for the Dodgers is like cheering for the Cowboys in the movie āLittle Giantsā or the Yankees in āThe Bad News Bearsā.
Not cheering for the Dodgers is anti-Capitalism and anti-American. Donāt 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 hasnāt worked at all for the NFL, that league is about to collapse, and the competitive balance is unwatchable ![]()
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 youāre saying that all people who arenāt Dodger fans are socialist America haters. Seems like there might be a cabinet position available for you currently.
Is that an issue?
Itās kind of funny we havenāt had repeat titles this century basically in baseball but the NFL has had dynasties with a cap. Itās 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.
