    Muncy deserves that walk off HR. From a guy that was almost out of the league and not expected to make the opening roster, to a world series hero. Can't write a better sports story than that.

    Yeah. People complain about how long baseball is and then the same people watch it anyway and say how much they love, "playoff baseball."
    There is not a bigger catharsis in American sports. But heck, I don't care. I don't even watch the game anymore.

    Dodgers are my team, but I was nearing the point where I was ready for it to end no matter who ended up on top. Almost. If it would have gone 20 innings, I think that would have been my breaking point. Dodgers are frustrating the way they live and die by the long ball. A little like the Blazers and the 3 ball....err...swish3 ball. Still, I think Dodger Stadium will be the RedSox hitters kryptonite. They didn't look like the same set of hitters that they did in Boston. Maybe this thing goes 7 after all. Figure the loser in an 18 inning affair will be hurting the worst for game time tomr. Muncy's walk off will be the signature moment from the game, but the guy I'll remember is the middle reliever who threw 100 pitches and was hitting 97 mph on the 97th pitch. Who is that guy?

    One other thought, I'm a Dodgers fan, but if I was watching this game in public I'd have been a little embarrassed by the home crowd. There is absolutely no way a single seat is empty if the game is played in Boston. Even on a school night, the kids would be forced to cheer loudly at 3:00 AM. Big difference in fandom for sure. No doubt Dodgers and Laker cross-over.

    Yeah, even the players were calling out the fans in the Brewers series. It's not like they've been here before a whole lot.

    I have seen them walk out of Laker games with 4-5 minutes left in a close game. They're shitty fans.

    Anyone watch Muncy's post game interview? Holy shit. He was talking about the Dodgers' starter for game 4, Rich Hill, and accidentally called him by his secret off-air nickname: Dick Mountain.

    Best nickname in sports.

    They go to events to be seen rather than to see.

    Gizz on the Piants.

    Goodnight, that was excruciating to watch tonight. Roberts may have finally out-smarted himself out of job tonight. Usually, all the chess piece moving is ultimately harmless, since it's never really cost them an important game. Dodgers fans are going to point to the Hill switch as the reason we lost the Series, and they might be right. 2-2 series with Kershaw on the mound in Los Angeles, I would have liked their chances of heading back to Boston only having to win one game. It would have made for a more entertaining series at least.
