The more games they play the more money in everyone’s pockets. Of course they have to play the full series.
Astros will do the Plasto tomorrow night. You heard it here.
They are a great team and deserve to be one game away from winning the World Series....just as The Dodgers are.
LOL...they’ll show
The Dodgers do have the largest payroll in baseball but interesting that they have been carried largely by lower paid players in the playoffs: Chris Taylor, Cody Bellinger, Joc Pederson, Austin Barnes, Charlie Culberson, Kike Hernandez.
Maybe they'll need therapy dogs and safe rooms if they lose. What a treat that would be.
Oh man I can't wait to see the responses I get...............:-)
True, but most of that salary is for guys who aren't even on the roster. Adrian Gonzales, Scott Kazmir, Carl Crawford, Matt Kemp are no longer with the team but their salaries count.
Seager, was Rookie of the Year last year, Bellinger likely ROY this year, Chris Young started in AA this year, Culberson called up from minors this year, Austin Barnes is another youngster.
Chris Young = Chris Taylor
Good post!
This is why vanities get a bad name.
Well...LOL...I’m a Dodger fan..and well Houston will soon learn what Altuve, Correa and Springer will be able to draw on the open market. To keep this team they will have to pony up many hundred millions themselves. Altuve May be the best hitter the game has ever seen...and he will be paid (by someone) commensurately.
You've been watching too many NBA playoffs.
Dodgers are more than slight favs to win it all. Astros blew it. Sorry for you.
Verlander hitting Utley. That was the game.

Astros are a great second place team.
Both teams have hitters who can hit good pitching. Best WS I have ever seen.
“Dodgers payroll is $100 million over the league average”
Saw this written, if this is so, it’s frustrating and it’s maybe winning the title by buying the best team. Astros still have a very good chance. When a team is facing elimination, it changes the equation a bit. Dodgers didn’t get anything going until the 6th.
This is a great World Series.

People like Kevin Spacey should not be allowed to own dogs.
