Dodgers going to win multiple WS in the Shohei era. Time to lie back and accept it. Not like we’re even really rivals anymore anyway. We’re not even the annoying little brother punching up. The Giants are an afterthought. An annoyance.

I heard people going ballistic as I was walking home so I figured the Dodgers had just done something stupendous. A walk-off grand slam in the World Series is a dream come true moment for any baseball player. I'll tip my cap to that. Even better, the Yankees lose! Bwah hah hah!

as an A’s fan, for me it’s the heart break of Kirk Gibson’s smash against eckersley in the World Series vs. the Derek jeter flip against the A’s in the playoffs. I was a kid sitting next to my mom on my dads favorite recliner when Gibson broke this A’s fans heart but I was at the game when Derek jeter pulled off that unbeleivable toss to get Giambi out at the plate. I’ll never forget that play and since we were sitting out in mt. Davis we really couldn’t tell what happened.

I gotta pull for the dodgers to win this World Series.

My friend's daughters went to school with Judge and as a Giants fan I could never, ever, root for the Dodgers. So, although I'm not watching the games, go Yankees!

That was the only MLB playoff game I've ever attended - not even sure now how I scored tix - but I was sitting right below you in the OF boxes. I was screaming my head off thinking Jeremy Giambi scored and it took me a while to figure out why nobody in the rest of the stadium was acting like he had.

Accepting it is one thing.
Liking it is another thing.
Have I accepted it? Yes
Do I like it? H-E-Double Hockey Sticks to the Absolutely ******* No!!!

As a purposely lapsed A’s fan, I’d rather they be a dynasty than the Yankees and that’s all I’ll say about that. (Also I want to see Shohei win).

Freddie Freeman is one of the best players in baseball but he just happens to play with a guy so ridiculously good that everyone forgot about him until now lol

Legitimately don't see how you beat that team if they head into a playoff series with 80%+ health. Might have a case for the best professional team ever assembled.

I mean...I've already come to accept the following:
1. The Giants aren't very good.
2. The Dodgies are very good.

My ability to accept the above has made, currently, is making, and will continue to make all of this bearable.

Delayed FU from Farhan sitting on Snell just as he regained his Cy young form and not trading him

If he wasn’t already fired I think this news would’ve done it

You can blame Farhan but it also comes down on ownership being unwilling to pay for a guy they knew they’d have to pay for to keep.

Giants need to snag Ha Son Kim and the other Korean players to help build a landing spot for them similar to Dodgers and the Japanese players now.

Wow
Adames 7 years for $182
Biggest in SF history

Definitely an upgrade there. Him and Chapman on that side of the infield will have it on lock
Sign Kim to play 2b to move Fitzgerald to super utility role
