re: The Dodgers will go the way of the 2001 Mariners and not make the World Series

The M's were as good as their record indicated. You don't win 116 on a fluke. They just burnt out in the playoffs. Happens to a team almost every year.

That's bullshite, as I proved.

They were rocking toward the playoffs, the hottest team in baseball.

They barely beat an Indians club 3-2 series ALDS and then got annihlated by the Yankees.

They weren't as good as their record - playoffs don't lie, like you said record doesn't lie.

Record can easily lie...it's a long arse season with tons of teams taking games off. Playoffs is where the real baseball starts and out of all the contenders, the Mariners weren't as talented pitching wise and their batting went cold.

Just like the 1988 A's...the 1988 Dodgers were pretty bad for a playoff team...but they beat the Mets with pitching and then they beat the A's with pitching.
