I’m a Giants diehard, but have watched a bunch of Dodger games this season just for Vin Scully. Amazing longevity and still got it going!
Scully does add a little badly needed class to the organization:)
On of the reasons for the unnecessarily tight race with the Giants is the subpar IQ of the Dodgers' manager, "Yankee" Mattingly. If it had not been for Mattingly's propensity to almost deliberately dump a bunch of extra-inning and other tight games, the Dodgers would have run away with this thing by now, as they did last year.
(If not for Kershaw's exceptionally brilliant pitching, Mattingly would have almost lost this race by default.)
Which raises the issue no one wants to mention: Is Mattingly getting a little under-the-table bonus for keeping the race close so that this new TV deal is worthwhile? And do the Dodgers with Mattingly have the intention of losing just enough games so that the race will go down to the final day to justify the TV deal?
You didn't do such a good job when you had a golden opportunity this past weekend.
The only reason you are this close is because you have a manager (and general manager) who are considerably brighter than their Dodgers counterparts.
The Dodgers did that because of the gigantic fiasco of 70% of the Los Angeles area residents incapable of getting SportsNet LA broadcasts. Unlike the Yankees’ YES Network (which only had Cablevision as the major holdout initially), only Time Warner Cable customers could get SportsNet LA; it got so bad that even the FCC started to ask questions.
