The epic collapse followed an epic winning streak. Even now, the team still has the best record in major league baseball. I don’t really follow baseball too much, but I’m not too worried. Starting pitching wins playoffs, and the Dodgers have starting pitching.

They are saving themselves for the WS.................

It all happened when they traded for Curtis Granderson from the Mets when they were the best team in baseball, potentially able to win more games than any other in one season.

Perfect example of how a front office can mess with young players minds.

They just gave up a 2-run double & are now down, AGAIN, to the Phillies 4-2 at the end of the 5th.

Turner got hit on the thumb & is out of the game.

As a 20 year Dodger fan, the Dodgers collapsing is as normal as Hillary Clinton being tossed into van like a side of beef. I expect it every time they have a good yea.

Epic Dodger collapse ...
The Giants win the pennant. The Giants win the pennant. The Giants win the pennant.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Roberts is better than Mattingly, but c’mon now WHY CAN’T THERE BE AN ANIMATED DODGER MANAGER LIKE LASORTA WHO RAISES HELL ON THE FIELD ONCE IN A WHILE????? I’m tired of seeing these half-asleep team managers.

Sports Illustrated cover story. It was all downhill from there.

They are streaky this year and remind me of the '88 Dodgers. They won a World Series that year.

They will win it all this year.

I still dislike the name: LA Dodgers. Dodgers were Brooklynites living in the borough of Brooklyn, NYC and the team was named after them ‘dodging streetcars, dodgers’ hence the name. That team in LA should be called the LA Smogers, or the LA Whatevers but not the Dodgers. IMHO

[ScottinVA]

Doesn’t matter, since the WS home field advantage goes to the ALCS winner, since the AL won the All-Star game.

[pgkdan]

Arbitrary splits kind of bug me but for September the Dodgers are the worst team in baseball. 5-15. I knew they’d have t come down to earth but who expected this?

[bigcat32]

Go Tribe!!

[gubamyster]

Dodgers win today 5-4
