  1. You are certainly welcome to do that but we played within the agreed upon rules of the game. But if that makes you happy about the outcome, then have at it.
  2. The Dodgers have the 2nd most homegrown roster in the MLB and the 2nd highest payroll. The Astros have the 1st most homegrown roster in the MLB and the 4th highest payroll. Both teams have grown their own talent and paid $$$ to keep that talent. I’m not sure what your point is? If you want a discussion on the economic disparities in MLB then that’s an interesting discussion to have, but it’s currently not cheating to have a high payroll. This is the thread to talk about the fact that the Astros actually cheated.
  3. Sorry to disappoint you but I actually don’t care why the Astros decided to cheat. We don’t need to waste time going through the list of possible motivations because that list contains exactly ZERO justifiable or respectable reasons to cheat. Regardless of their motivation, a cheater is a cheater.
  4. Dodgers fans aren’t crying. We know what happened and nothing can undo that. 2017 is in the past. Most Dodgers fans I know are more concerned about the present and the future, which looks pretty bright. The best revenge is to live well and that’s what the Dodgers are doing. Go win a clean World Series with smiles on our faces and let the cheaters of the world wish they had done the same. This just happens to be the Astros cheating thread so that’s obviously the topic of conversation for anyone that posts here, but the Astros are no more a threat to the Dodgers than the Red Sox are, which is to say, none at all.
  5. I had baseball withdrawal last night. Not used to these off days. That’s so 2019. Tonight should be a great game. Hopefully Buehler brings his best stuff but Charlie Morton has been lights out this postseason. Dodgers bats need to get to him early and not wait until the 5th inning to get a hit.
  6. If the Rays win in a fair series then they deserve it and the Dodgers played a good season and ultimately lost to a great team. Not the outcome we want, but it’s better than finding out a team cheated their way to victory because they lacked confidence to win an honest game. That’s just pathetic.
  7. She has sweet eyes. Good girl, Rini. Get well soon.
  8. Damn, I forgot the Horns are playing football. Looks like we play Baylor this week. Ugh.
  9. What the hell are you even talking about? Kershaw pitched a total of 3 games in the 2017 World Series. Games 1 and 7 were at Dodger Stadium. Game 5 was at Minute Maid. You started talking about Kershaw pitching in both stadiums as if that would somehow support your argument that either cheating didn't occur or that it wasn't beneficial. That's a pretty shitty talking point from an Astros fan POV because Kershaw's stats show a significant difference between the 2 parks. You'd be better off just ignoring those details because they definitely don't support your narrative.
  10. Are these bonus episodes until the full season 2 gets released?
  11. Snell pitched a great game. I thought there was a reasonable chance we lose this game given that we were using a bullpen grab bag approach, but I’m glad the offense finally came alive. I think the rest of the series sets up well for LA but it’s going to be a fight.
  12. Yeah that’s the series. Glad you brought it up. Kershaw Game 1 at Dodger Stadium: 7.0 IP 3 H 1 ER 0 BB 11 SO Kershaw Game 5 at Minute Maid Park: 4.2 IP 4 H 6 ER 3 BB 2 SO Cumulative ERA at Dodger Stadium in WS = 0.83 Cumulative ERA at MMP = 6.50 It’s amazing how much of a difference it made when the Astros knew what pitch was coming.
  13. Got my tickets for tonight. Can't wait!
  14. Enjoy your championship*. You can watch from home while 2 teams with integrity play for a legitimate title.
  15. Damn I guess I missed that. Which MVP did he win again?
  16. Great start tonight. Love seeing Kershaw take care of business and our bats gave him plenty of breathing room. Let’s get them again tomorrow. I’m 90% sure I’ll be at the game. Just trying to iron out details on tickets.
  17. Did not like the Berkeley girl proclaiming her team smart as fuck. Usually when people do shit like that, we get the joy of watching them get eliminated early. The rest of the teams are fine with me so far. Happy to have this back.
  18. Sometimes I wonder if the world’s so small Then we can never get away from the sprawl Living in the sprawl Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains And there’s no end in sight
  19. Rini is gorgeous. Good luck Rini and Penelope! You got this.
  20. This space reserved for Brisket to inform us that his daughter goes to college in Canada.
