I was totally against the current playoff format back when it was installed in 2012 for this very reason. We won 106 games and now our season is on the line. Having a second wild card team is bull****.
Yeah. That ***** needs to be fixed next season. No way should the TOP 2 teams in MLB have to face each other off in the divisional round and event worst one of them playing in a WC game where they are 1 bad start away from being eliminated.Quote:

Especially given how large the gap was between us and the Cardinals. If they want to do something like this there should be some kind of minimum that the other team has to be within in order to trigger a playoff. Like maybe if the other team is within 3 games or something (but we finished so far ahead that it's absurd that it now comes down to one game). I agree with you though, no point in having a 162-game season and then having a playoff like this.Quote:

That doesn't make sense considering we have like 15+ games over the other WC team.Quote:

If we win our playoff game, we're going to be in for an epic series and that shouldn't occur in the first round or as a 5-game series.Quote:

I was such a huge Piazza fanboy - as I’m sure most of us were - but man, I couldn’t be more disappointed in that guy as a human being these days.Quote:

^ This dude was stumping for Larry Elder! Lol.
This ***-hat, who currently lives in Italy and hasn’t been to CA for anything other than playing baseball since he left LA (followed by SD and OAK), essentially said if we elect Larry Elder, he’d be willing to squash his beef with the team and make his grand return to Dodger Stadium as if he’s Dodger-Jesus or some ****.
I gave him the benefit of doubt when he was upset with Vin, not because I agreed with him, but because it sounded like a misunderstanding. But who in their right mind could dislike Vin Scully and be hip to hip with the likes of Trump and Larry Elder? Who in their right mind would think that after spurning our team, then picking the Mets for his HOF hat, and essentially abandoning all association with the Dodgers, that the fan base in a vastly blue city and state would say “oh yes, please grace us with your appearance at Dodger Stadium oh great Dodger-Jesus, and take us to that sacred Blue Heaven!”
Obviously he misread the room :laugh2:

Mike Piazza. Tommy’s God son. Also Lasorda is turning in his grave at the douche that is the person now. Great player and even a greater disappointment as a human being.Quote:

Yeah, Piazza was my favorite player from like 93-98. Such a shame how the whole situation played out and certainly not a fan of his political viewsQuote:
