When the post season started, two Dodger fans I know texted me... What's the difference between a Dodger dog and an Angels dog? You can get a Dodger dog in October....

 

Tonight... I text them... Hot dog, that was a great game.

Dude, my dodger buddy sent me the same meme

I just texted him this pic, and said #expired

With their 3 starters, NL teams better hope the Nats don't make the playoffs

seriously, how do you do it?

The dodgers post game host just said "the dodgers would have beat any AL team".

This is what kills me. The dodgers fanbase always has this higher than thou attitude. 

Boston fans. NY fans. Sure, salty. But to be fair, they literally can be. 

The dodgers fanbase always pretends to be up there with them, but they have less rings than Oakland. 

Its not even the dodgers team that i hate. Its that bullsh*t.

Some cholo on dodger talk just said "maddon hasnt taken the angels job because he wants to come to the dodgers"

[TooCool]

Wow, just saw the score. Thanks Nats!

And LOL at my Kings for losing 8-2 as well. God it's going to be another long season.

Both the Yankees and the Astros would kick the shit out of the Dodgers IMHO.

I'm just glad we don't ever have to face Baltimore, Detroit, and Cincinnati in the playoffs. Then our shit would be kicked.

Anyone else getting the "fatal error" messages?

Frustrating. 

That's just the AW.com hardware commenting on the Dodgers decision making.

Im not sure it would have been a thumping, but id take either over them. Hands down.

Kershaw chokes away the lead.

Howie wins the game with a salami.

Could this get any better for Angels fans?

tell them 2017 & 2018 say what's up.

[Duren, Duren]

Was it worse to lose this way for the Dodgers than in the last two World Series? 

I think so, considering  that they have geared up all year to make up for those losses. And that they had the luxury of fine tuning their team for the playoffs virtually since May, given their runaway lead in their division. Their managerial and analytics staff will be replaying this series over and over, wondering what to do. 

It will be very instructive in sports psychology, watching how they move forward. Stay the course with minor changes or something more drastic? I think they are too invested in the status quo to do anything extreme. It would be admitting failure on their part.

Their veterans will be a year older, and possibly losing some physical and mental edge. And their younger stars have now had successive post season failures. 

How often can you hype yourself up to say "we'll get 'em  next year'  and believe it?

Kershaw probably will never come out of the bullpen again. 

If they do trade any of their young core I think it will be Pederson.

Haha it’s unbelievable that they’re like that.  I mean it’s Dodgers shit so of course they say stuff like that completely un ironically.  Imagine being able to believe that.  Just fuc*king bird brained.

He was pretty much Koufax for awhile there, 2011-2017ish.

Koufax was a monster in the postseason, which is the one area that truly separates him from Kershaw. I guess I didn't make that clear, but that's what I meant by he's no Koufax...

This is the fanbase that adamantly declared Puig better than Trout.

That booed piazza for wanting money, and embraced kevin brown the year after, who made more.

Who booed sean green for taking ONE day off a year for religious reasons. 

Circa 2013 they just got annoying as hell. 

I get it... theyve been on a run. Im jealous as hell, and would much prefer their poor postseason to our none. But they act like theyve won those postseasons.

Honestly, this right here Ive always chuckled, and thought was the curse.

If anyone doesnt remember, after bouncing Az in 2014, the dodgers went and partied in the Dbacks pool.... which to me was kind of a no no. I talked to some players about it (neutral teams) who werent fans either.

That dodger core has still never won it all. And dodgers fans thought it was hilarious.

Thats one of those things that makes me laugh at their bad luck...
