I was reading up on that, but I heard that’s an old picture from the All Star Game.

Even if it isn't fake news, it would go to reason they would practice.
It's nothing.

Only if the owner was some semi-goid looking woman with a bitchy attitude that you had a life size cut board of... where she was in dress but the pieces could be peeled away, unveiling her naked body....if they did, maybe that purple flower wearung reporter and her friends should not be in the locker room at the time. |

Second best team in the league doesn't seem like underachieving to me. If being in the WS isn't motivation enough, you ain't doing it right. |

If being in the WS isn't motivation enough, you ain't doing it right. Getting to the WS is a great accomplishment...being favored to win it and then stinking it up means they underachieved. Right now, we are a very underachieving team. |

To be honest, they underachieved all season...with the talent (especially pitching), they probably should have challenged the Seattle record of 116 W or whatever it was. There were many, many slumps during the season.

For several years they've been picked as favorites for the division. |

There were many, many slumps during the season. Three of our best players missed significant time. Maybe they would have won 116. |

The 107 wins in and of itself were fairly hollow. 99 of our games were against teams with sub-.500 records
The regular season is too long and pointless

Just win in the postseason. |

I hated the comparisons to the Bash Brothers teams of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. If that wasn’t foreshadowing, I don’t know what is. Talk about the ultimate disappearing act. |

The moment we secured Greinke for half the farm, was the moment that anything less than a WS trophy would make this season a failure. |

Just make it to playoffs, and then it becomes a crap shoot. Any team can beat any team on any given day, that's the beauty of baseball. A team just needs to get hot at the right time, while the team goes cold.
It doesn't mean you have to like it.
C'est la vie

Every opponent the Dodgers faced was expected to be crushed until we won. That’s what makes this sport beautiful. |
