Would suit me fine, lol. I think there should at least be a legislative review regarding removing MLB's anti-trust exemption unless the league does something to scale back the price creep of ticket prices and exclusive media rights deals with cable networks.
He’ll take a 2nd consecutive World Series trophy and ring, thank you very much! And most likely back-to-back NL regular season MVP’s, too.
I love that you sore loser Giants fans have to endure the torture of my Dodgers winning back-to-back titles, their 3rd World Series title in the past 6 years (and 5th WS appearance in 9 years).
Now you understand and feel what we Dodgers fans went through from 2010-2014 when you Giants won 3 in 5 years and seemingly had the most meaningful breaks go your way, too.
It must really suck to deal with the fact that the Dodgers now lead the all-time head-to-head series (including playoffs) and just tonight took the lead with 9 World Series titles to 8 with the potential for a three-peat in play.
A lot of baseball fans hated watching the Giants win 3 in 5 years. A lot more fans hated seeing the Yankees win 27 in 86 years (with 40 appearances through 2009).

True. While I dislike seeing the Giants arch rival hoist the trophy AGAIN, I can at least admit you all have some likable guys on the team. Hopefully Buster can work his magic and make us competitive again. Baseball is better when the Giants and Dodgers are duking it out for pennants. Congrats.
In terms of entertainment factor in games 6 and 7, name a better World Series. For that matter, given that game 3 went 18 innings, name a better World Series games 3-7. I don't think one exists.
We just got a hell of a show, whether it came out the way you wanted or not.

FWIW, both our fan bases both got robbed in 2021 when the Giants and Dodgers won 107 and 106 respectively. That should have been the NLCS and a 7-game series rather than the 5-game series we got instead. IDC if the teams were in the same division. They posted the two best records in the league. By a cushion of 6 and 7 games over the 3rd best regular season team.
For the first and only time the Giants and Dodgers met in the postseason — we all deserved better. Hopefully we get to see that matchup again someday soon.

Oh, I definitely will get over it; I'm not at all concerned about that! But, yes, as @LoungeLizard indicated, it was a great series. Either team could've won at the end of the day, it truly was that close. I can't wait to resume the Giants-Dodgers rivalry as NL West powerhouses, just like how it always should be!

I mean...Kershaw was always likeable...whenever he gave up a late game tying home run or game ending home run....
Seriously, though...great pitcher who just had some crappy luck when it came to postseason success.
Also, minus a few, yes, the Dodgers do have some likeable folks.
That series was one for the ages and the ratings are showing so. Not having a horse in this race I was on the edge of my seat with all my friends at thunder valley. What a showing for baseball and I hope baseballs overlords have the sense to build on this. This could do wonders for building a bigger following with the younger generations.
