They’ll go down to the Cubs...5 games.
Only in the head of a baseball statistician would 25 games over .500 be considered 50 games over .500.
I’ve been a Dodgers fan most of my life or at least since Dad took me to the ‘59 World Series. I did grow frustrated with the O’Malley family as they made money band over fist without joining Steinbrenner’s Yankees in going after free agents and trading for quality proven players. But since Magic and his group took over they’ve vastly improved their once vaunted farm system and are blending young and old for a great team. Heck, they have a good team sitting on the disabled list and are adept at using the rules to keep an “expanded “ roster to draw from. It’s hard to imagine them staying this not all year into the post season but hope it happens.
Question from a non-professional sports guy: does major league baseball have players who refuse to say the pledge of allegiance? If so, (I hope not) how can you justify supporting them?
WOOOOHOOOO Dodgers!
Chicago Cubs in 1906 won 116 games and lost 36. They played 152 games of their 154 game schedule. Can the Dodgers can get to 116 wins in 152 games? For the Dodgers to match the Cubs’ output of 1906 they would have to win 123 games.
I AM NOT a Dodgers fan, but hats off to them. Great season.
Of course I got rid of cable this year.
