Grats to the Los Angeles Balkers for cheating their way to a "victory ".

 

[Jive Turkey]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Line_HTX]

Time for the Dodgers to stop Back to the Future in the NLCS.

 

[ratcliffja]

What an amazing moment. Tough luck, Nationals. I gave you guys crap for years for always underperforming but you guys are close to something really special. Thanks for the great series and better luck next year.

 

[Mrbob]

Ugh, more west coast games. Hopefully I don't have to stay up until 2am again to watch.

Liking the Cubs chances in the NLCS. Don't screw this up.

 

[EarlyEarly]

Hopefully the Dodgers can beat the Cubs now

LOL; You can't get mad at them. They played the game fair & square.

Congrats DoyerGAF

Yoooo check your blood pressure after guzzling all that salt

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Nats definitely need another bat for next year. congrats to the Dodgers though.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

if 7 pitches is all it takes to excise the Postseason demons, that should tell you how dumb the whole choker/clutch narrative is.

I don't see why. It's still a monkey on your back to finish out a clutch situation, even if the situation is short.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Roberts had some questionable moves here and there, but the upgrade from Mattingly to him was pretty damn clear. Roberts/Friedman vs Maddon/Theo is the kind of series to drive Joe Morgan to suicide.

Nah I'm talking the other way around. Clayton already was the best pitcher in the game. I didn't need a 7 pitch save to confirm that for me.

 

[StoveOven]

Congrats Dodgers. You get the honor of losing to the Cubbies

Big markets in NL vs Small tiddly wink ass markets in AL

 

[BigJonsson]

LA
Toronto

3 of the largest cities in North America in the LCS, pretty good

 

[Line_HTX]

Damn, Dusty Baker with 9 straight series clinching losses...

 

[Corran Horn]

Damn, Dusty Baker with 9 straight series clinching losses...

Reason why he gets fired....that and ruining pitcher's arms.

 

[NomarTyme]

Imagine if Nats got strasburg.

I can't take so much salt after a game like this. My blood pressure is already high

Times like these is when I miss firejoemorgan.

That Dodgers shirt reads Hustle, Loyalty, Respect.

Have you even been to Toronto?

That's baseball for you. Momentum and perceived curses are bigger in that sport than any of the other major team sports. This was huge for Kershaw's confidence in the postseason.

 

[CrispyBoar]

And with that, the ALDS & the NLDS is finally over.

ALCS starts tomorrow in Cleveland & the NLCS starts this Saturday over in Chicago.

Ehhh you walk the streets there and people care about hockey. But yes - absolutely its big pop wise.

 

[Line_HTX]

I'd be OK with Los Angeles and Toronto.

;P

 

[Chiggs]

Definitely grabbing some tickets for the Dodgers/Cubs series.

 

[Hogger]

Justin Turner gets to postpone his trip north of the wall for another week.

lol what

Jays led the AL in attendance and get crazy high ratings on TV across Canada

 

[orthodoxy1095]

LMAO Kershaw wanted to get out of that dumb interview.

 

[Friggz]

All this game told me is how badly the NL needs a DH. What a dumb ending.

[Windu]

that was fun

Death to DH lovers.

 

[CosmicQueso]

Pete Rose is a crazy man.

Have you even been to Toronto?

Yep. Had a great time.

 

[Chuck]

;P

Double wrong

 

[timetokill]

Fuck that. This was proof of the superiority of NL rules. So much strategy and intensity. So many decisions and moves to make.

AL is fucking easy mode bullshit.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Pete Rose questioning some of Roberts' moves pretty much confirms they were the right moves lol

 

[Line_HTX]

Pete Rose putting Frank Thomas on blast.

:lol

 

[Choomp]

Grats to the Los Angeles Balkers for cheating their way to a "victory ".

lol come on now

But seriously still trying to digest that game. What a crazy job by Jansen going like 50 pitches out of the pen. Then turning it over to Kershaw? Goddamn.

 

[Malo]

The DH had the highest ops of any position.

"Easy mode" lol

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Oh my god, that was the most stressful game I have ever seen. Oh thank fuck it's over.

You have one day off until the stress starts up again.

 

[CosmicQueso]

It pains me that I really like ARod as an analyst.

 

[Chiggs]

More stressful for Cubs fans.

Accept him into your heart, he'll be gentle.

 

[Line_HTX]

OMG, what the fuck was that by the 3rd base coach?
