The 2018 Major Leage Baseball Thread

Lots of Red Sox fans at Dodger Stadium. Apparently finally able to afford seats and get time off from their food service and janitorial jobs.

As someone that has lived in the west coast the majority of my life, I will admit fans of the east coast - particularly cities like Cleveland, New York, and Boston are more passionate about their teams that fans of the team in cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, Phoenix, San Francisco etc..

I respect them for that. Again, they are not the most intelligent fans, but they have a deeper connection with their teams than most west coast fans.

Ahem. No one who calls Ohio a city should condescend to any other fans.

Kershaw's last inning as a Dodger.

I don't see other teams lining up to give Kershaw 20-30 million a year.

IMO he stays in LA. The Red Sox already have like 5 left-handed starters and the Yankees don't need him.
 
It is ironic though he played center in high school with Matthew Stafford.

A couple of big-game chokers.
 
Congrats to the Red Sox, 4-for-4 in World Series since 2004. They started the season strong and never once looked back.

P.S. I am gonna miss listening to that Dodgers organist. Love all the nerdy stuff they play!
 
Boston deserved it. Best team in baseball and best team in the WS this year. The Red Sox are my favorite AL team so happy for them but **** the Astros still.
 
Looks like the rich guys win.

There is no joy in Mudville :(

JeffH Dodgers.webp

Congratulations Red Sox, wonder how noisy it is in Boston right now. :lamo
 
Expect the Red Sox to come to the White House.

Trump and John Henry are good friends. I am not sure how many players will come though...???
 
Mega-Congrats to the World Series Champions, the Boston Red Sox, clearly the best danged team in baseball this year! Didn't know much about them when this series started, except as a SFGiants fan my mantra is always BEAT LA, BEAT LA, lol... but damn. Some of the best pitching I've seen all year, clutch hits when things looked bleak, and taking four out of five? My hat is off to the entire Red Sox team!
 
As sad and disappointed as I am, I HAD to laugh at this one, you KNEW it was coming...

Dodgers Almost Had it.webp

“I went back to Ohio,

But my city was gone.”

Maybe he misunderstood that song.
:lol:
 
IDK what the Dodgers record during the year was against lefties, but against the Sox and all of their lefties the Dodgers looked about as lost as a team could look.

There is no doubt the Red Sox were the best team in baseball this year, but in a couple of the games them and their lefties made it look easy against the Dodgers. Game 3 will go down as 1 of the all-time WS classics though.

Boston did what all great teams do. Win 4 out of 5 in the two series that mattered and 3 of 4 in the Yankies battle.

Baseball is not a sport where teams go undefeated or sweep series after series. They win 2 of 3 consistently. And Boston was one step above that this year, winning roughly 7 of 10. Love 'em or hate 'em; that team was exceptional.

Yep, we hear players and managers say that during the regular season over and over. Just win series, 2 out of 3, 3 out of 4.

BTW Price had a nice bounce back series.

Very satisfying Series for me since Martinez and Price got their rings and its the best a Tiger fan can hope for. J D led all Boston players in postseason batting average and Price really performed on the mound in the Series.

I loved it.

Maybe so.

For me, it was enjoyable and I got what I wanted out of it.
