  1. Been a Dodgers fan since I was a little kid. I was 5 in 1988. Waited 32 years to see another one. This season was fun and it’s finally nice to end up on the winning side. Every player contributed throughout this postseason. Glad I got to see 3 of the games in person.
  2. Dave Roberts: “Hold my beer.”
  3. Seems stupid. Snell is owning the Dodgers.
  4. CSR users will now get $120 Peloton statement credit per year and CSP users will get $60 statement credit per year. As someone who recently bought a Peloton, this is useful to me. It may have been enough to prevent me from downgrading my CSR last month, but I can still follow through with my intended CSP application and 80,000 point bonus and collect the $60 credit. Seems like a win either way.
  5. My understanding is that the 48 month waiting period applies to everyone regardless of when you initially signed up. As for your wife, did she originally have her own CSR and get a signup bonus of her own? If so, then she has to wait 48 months from that date. You could both downgrade to the CFU and then leave her as an AU on that, then she would be free to apply for her own CSP or CSR once her 48 months have passed. Perhaps thunderlounge can confirm all of this since he is the expert.
  6. Snell has been incredible. Frustrating for a Dodgers fan to watch.
  7. These travel days are really annoying.
  8. Huge blown opportunity for the Rays. Can’t believe Dodgers got out of the 4th with no damage.
  9. For as much as Tenet is considered a box office flop, it had a budget of $200 million and a worldwide box office of $341 million. No Time to Die had a budget of $250 million. I can’t imagine MGM would sell for any less than $350 million. Even with the terrible theater situation in the pandemic, a Bond film is almost sure to outperform a cerebral time travel film.
  10. He’s a 4th year starter in his senior season playing like a sophomore. I love how much he loves Texas. I just wish he was a better football player by this point in his career.
  11. Fuck that guy. He’s a dog killer. Fuck him.
  12. Great win tonight. Hoping I can score G5 tickets.
  13. This is a mirror image of game 2.
  14. I get that but if you currently use a physical Apple TV then it’s incredibly simple to activate Apple TV+ and then subsequently cancel it when you are finished. I say this because I had similar thoughts to yours and then I did that so I could watch the Tom Hanks submarine movie and it was pretty painless. All of that being said, I would strongly prefer to see No Time to Die in theaters, even if it means waiting longer.
  15. It’s only $4.99/month so if you subscribed for one month to watch an exclusive streaming movie, it’s the same price or cheaper than most streaming rentals.
  16. 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.

  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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.
  23. She has sweet eyes. Good girl, Rini. Get well soon.
  24. Damn, I forgot the Horns are playing football. Looks like we play Baylor this week. Ugh.
  25. 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.
