Dodgers have the 2 best pitchers in baseball and plenty of playoff experience. They should have as good a chance as any Don Mattingly team can have. This could be your year!
I'm generally with Sycasey. Do I wish the Giants would make the playoffs and win the WS this year? Of course! Am I going to complain? Of course not, I've been well fed on World Series and an NBA championship so I can wait a little bit for another great meal.
Look, I hate the Dodgers more than I hate the furd and $uc combined. At least I can respect the furd's academics and $uc's networking, but the Dodgers, I hate everything about that team. (And my husband is a Dodger fan, so he can thank his team for not getting any for the next few months if they make it the playoffs.) And of course I want the Giants to win the WS every single year, just like I want Cal to go to the RB every single year -- but it's not going to happen. I just understand and appreciate how difficult it is to win a WS in baseball. The baseball season and the playoffs are just different from all other play offs. It takes a lot of skill (of course), but also some luck -- and of course a great manager. However, having all 3 of those doesn't guarantee a WS win, and definitely not 3 wins in 5. This is why I'm not ridiculously upset that the Giants may not end up in the playoffs and contend for another WS win. The MLB is not like NBA. They're just different, and winning championships (and building teams to win said championships) is so different for either sport.
Anyway, GO GIANTS and GO BEARS!!
