Great game we were at last night! Happy Seattle lost, even better it was Springer that drove the final nail! After the way the horrible Seattle fans booed Springer after he got hit in the knee, he deserved revenge!

That must have been an AWESOME game to attend last night. Springer, even though he's a cheater, is the most dangerous player in the playoffs. That man is clutch.

My predictions for the WS:

1) Ohtani will do very well on the mound. But he will NOT come through in clutch moments at the plate.

2) Mookie Betts will be the WS MVP

3) Vlad is going to be silenced by Dodgers pitching. His final line will look something like 2 for 28 with 8 strikeouts.

4) Springer will win at least one game with a clutch at bat, but Roki will strike him out in the last inning for the WS win.

Not sure if I want the Toronto Guardians to win to stick it to the Dodgers/MLB offices, or if I want to fast track the correction in baseball by having the Dodgers repeat.

I don't understand why people hate the teams that spend money, like the Dodgers. All the owners can afford to pay up for a competitive team. Every single one of them. Some see their team as a reflection of the city and pay up to win (and get the prestige that comes with winning), while others manage the team as if it were a convenience store chain. Why are we rewarding the convenience store chain owners like Arte Moreno and Bob Nutting, as opposed to guys like Mark Walter and Stevie Cohen?

For me, I'd love to see the Dodgers wipe the floor with the Jays so that small market teams stop bitching and moaning and starting spending money to compete.

Well, we have a Series. Pulling for Toronto, which means LA will win. Trent King

+1000. If I hear any more about how "we need a salary cap in baseball" my head is going to explode. Spend some money or sell the team to someone who will.
