This is quite the choke job by the Rays. Although it would fit in with Dusty Baker's snake bitten managerial career to be down 0-3, win 3 in a row and then lose a game 7 anyway

Another brutal one for Dusty Daddy. Of course.

Eh, it was a great series. I'm not as mad as I thought I'd be in losing. It's funny to see people big up the Rays but forget that Morton was on the 2017 team but wanna congratulate him. Also, all of MLB Twitter that is wanting to rag on Houston, but also eagerly awaiting Springer joining their team via free agency.

In the end, the team put together a solid year in a season that was pretty dreadful all around. No JV, no Osuna, no Yordan as well as something like fifteen rookie pitchers used with other veteran pitchers injured.

Even more amazing when TB did that with a $75 Million payroll, compared to the $250 Million LAD.

Kershaw to start game 1. If he goes out this series and has a couple of dominating performances he could really solidify his legacy. If he gets lit up again there will probably always be those "yeah, but he couldn't win the biggest games" comments long after he retires.

I can't believe Pedro Baez is still on this team. I hope he kills himself

They charged Will Smith with a missed catch error. Which means Chris Taylor actually got an assist on that play. Does this happen if Cody Bellinger is in center field?

Congrats to the Dodgers. Last time they won the World Series I was about to turn 9. I'll be 41 on Saturday

I feel terrible for Justin Turner. Getting a positive COVID test (mid-game after being in a bubble for a month?) and not being able to celebrate with his teammates.

Oh shit what would have happened if there was a game 7?

It might have been his earpiece.

He looked like he was going to cry when he was getting booed.

Turner being on the field at all is pretty fucking stupid. Being out there without a mask hugging people is even worse.

My dad has been a Dodgers fan since they were playing in Brooklyn. When they moved to LA, he stuck by them. I'm happy for my dad that he could see his second favorite sports team win (the NY Rangers are his #1 team).

Turner threw caution aside and gambled with other peoples' lives. 2 game suspension.
