I'm finding it hard to hate the Dodgers

[scoutyjones2]

Can't stand that organization. Freeman seems like a phoney. And Ohtani got away with something others served lifetime bans for. They manipulate the IL.

Hilarious. An opinion about a player you don't know. A anger statement wanting a player banned when no rule violation was found. And a whiney statement that a team follows rules concerning injuries, but you don't like that they do.

You could say that to those who project how nice and great their players seem too...they don't know them either.

[scoutyjones2]

They all just seem like really good players. I don't want to punch any of them.

How can you enjoy watching a team that has such a revenue advantage? It cheapens the sport. It's not truly a competitive athletic competition when one team can field a team that was put together with unlimited resources.

MLB is not a serious sport until the cap arrives. When even F1 finally went to a cap....and now the professional soccer/football is doing the same.....there is only one sport left to take the plunge. Make it fair. Make it a sport again.

And yet, they barely won the first game of a 7 game series. Played on the field, not on contract signings.

Yankees tried buying championships and were highly unsuccessful

The economic issues makes them extremely easy to dislike. Them winning is not good for baseball.

Maybe them winning it all yet again will help force major changes after next year.

Don’t know about Freeman, but your Ohtani comment is spot on.

It’s hilarious that you believe there was a real investigation into Ohtani.

I'm much more worried about the Pirates receiving basically as much in revenue sharing as they spend on the entire payroll. That's much worse for fans than a handful of big market teams who will spend whatever it takes to win.

Every single owner can afford to do what the Dodgers, Mets, Phillies and Padres do. And fans like you who argue that LAD/NYM/PHI/SDP are the main problem instead of PIT/WSH/MIA/CHW/OAK/MIN/COL... well let's just say the billionaires are really happy to have you fighting their fight for them and without even getting paid.

Best team money can buy!

I enjoy watching any team that has Ohtani on it, and these games have been objectively entertaining.

I’m with ya on the entertainment blurb. I watch O as well.

So one has to personally know a player to have an opinion? I guess the concept of being a fan is eliminated in your mind. Freeman took the big $ and bright lights of LA. Then attempted to save face in ATL by saying he was unaware the Braves had made an acceptable offer. [nonsense]. He had enough connections in that organization to know what was happening in the contract talks.

My statement concerning Ohtani was not based in anger. You are gullible if you believe the translator story. MLB couldn't let their cash cow take a fall.

As for IL manipulation, yes a lot of teams do it. The Dodgers tend to do it most.

Seemingly reasonable people hating a baseball team composed of men they don’t know..

Remarkable

Don't mind the Dodgers getting into the WS, not pulling for the Brewers ever.

But I'm rooting for the M's to get their first WS appearance and WS title!

[ilcubuffs]

Dodgers are the team opposing fans love to hate. Same was of Steinbrenner's Yanks.

Like the Yanks the Dodgers thrive on such views.

LOL
I would say that the last team to win THREE consecutive World Series and 4 of 5 in a row was kind of successful.
Those '96-'00 Yanks had the highest payroll in MLB every year but one, and in '98 they were #2.

This here.

All my cool neighbors are from the state of Washington for some reason. And they are all super chill and relaxed folks. I’m all in on the Mariners and again dislike the Brewers I want to see them get swept.

That M's starting staff coupled w/the Big Dumper & Company will be hard to beat.

No way I want to see the Dodgers buy another WS title.
