The Dodgers didn’t just lose, they looked really bad while doing it.

I was pleased.

Now for Cleveland to win their series and we have a nicely compact World Series the teams can drive to in their cars...

I watched the four games. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman of the Dodgers ($365 million + $162 million = $527 million), the number one and two batters in the lineup, were total no-shows at the plate in the series.

The Brewers are clicking together at the right time and they are going to win the World Series against the walkover AL team.

Brewers haven’t been to The Show since… 1982? Lost to the Cardinals.

They’re hungry. Either Cleveland or Tampa Bay now….

I think I’d like to see them get the win…

Would’ve been even better if the Phillies got there… But it was not to be this year

[Jim Noble]

America cannot recover until the Dodgers return to Brooklyn.

My grandpa (RIP) was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, he said it many times, and as I have grown wiser with age, I cannot really say he was wrong.

They have the sisters of perpetual indulgence to comfort them.

The Dodgers just were not as hungry as the Brewers. Good to see another team in the WS.

Oh by the way. Dodgers are ultra leftists. Isn't Dodger Stadium on stolen land. Look it up.

[T.B. Yoits]

Maybe the Dodgers should have hosted more anti-Catholic bigotry nights at the stadium, in exchange for a World Series ring.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I have paid no attention to the Dodgers since they left Brooklyn.

[Clutch Martin]

Yeag but.... How many Milwaukee fans got their heads bashed in after the game?

[The Louiswu]

One of the talking turds on ESPN already declared a Brewers/Cleveland WS would be the lowest watched WS in history. I love a sports network that talks down...sporting events.

[Fury]

The Dodgers were really flat run-wise. They could not get runners across home plate when in scoring position when needed.

Add really good pitching by the Brewers and that was that.

Hope Cleveland makes it to the World Series. There’s probably going to be a lockout next year, so enjoy it while you can!

[JZelle]

The three-peat has been deferred

[LizzieD]

The Brewers are like the monster in a horror movie...you think he’s been killed, but he comes back again and again and again. They never give up.

[Libloather]

I’m pretty sure this is why the Electoral College was invented.

20-20 Hindsight

Several factors worked against the Dodgers' three-peat:

Roster Age: Buying up high-priced talent means acquiring established veterans (Mookie, Freddie, Teo, Tucker, Ohtani. Kiké is 35, Muncy 36, Rojas 37. Aging veterans slow down, injure more easily, and gradually diminish in performance. (The Dodgers have youngsters Pages, Rushing and DePaula and desperately need more young blood--but this is the franchise with the most Rookie of the Year Awards, so....)

Fatigue: This was their third league-championship series in-a-row, reducing their recovery period between seasons.

Pressure: Expectations were sky-high, a monkey on their back all year long.

It all just became too much.
