of course LA rack up a bunch of titles in a sham year


New/expanded playoff format for MLB actually makes a title for either the rays or dodgers more difficult and well deserved.

Had the astros won the WS with a sub .500 regular season winning % it would be a sham and only possible via the pandemic format.

This is true. The two best teams are in the World Series.

Hockey Tampa was an elite team, so not a sham. Basketball Lakers were an elite team, so not a sham.

All the titles have gone to teams they should go to. So not sure how any can be called a sham. It's not like it's the 10-6 Giants beating the undefeated Patriots to where you have merit in claiming "wtf"

So are you looking for a champion or the best team? Champions are not always the best team.

In this instance, the 2 best teams in baseball are playing for the championship. The nlcs featured the 2 best teams in the national league. The dodgers beat the third best team in the divisional round.

Safe to say the best team in baseball will also be the winner of this year’s World Series.

God that music that Fox plays over the lineups for MLB and the NFL now is just awful. It sounds like bad elevator/gameshow music.

60 games is a joke no matter how you slice it. I didn't have a problem with NHL or NBA since they had played most of their seasons.

Observing him at the plate and then watching him get down the line on a grounder is quite interesting.

The guy can move.

yea. The rays or the dodgers would need to win another one within the next two or so years for this to really hold any weight imo

It’s stupid Roberts is doing this

I get the Opener theory but he just should have rolled Buehler out there tonight

Game 3 go Urias (but that’s dumb)

Just m opinion

May needs to be set up with anyone but Jansen as Closer. Then in 2 years May will be the Closer

You got
Jansen 6
Florio/Urias 7
May 8
That other Mexican that throw 100 close

You got Kelly and who you don’t use in 7 to long

The starters should be
Gonsolin
Buehler
Kershaw
Gonzalez


But it makes too much sense
