Reading Walter Allston’s 1966 autobiography and guess what the Dodgers got called chokers in 1962 so guess what they did in 1963.

“So do you have any holiday plans?” Me:

“It is unrealistic to expect an entire group of twenty-five men to hold over from one season to the next, and I don’t imagine that kind of standpatism has ever taken place in any major league club.” Walter Alston on the 1956 Dodger roster, the season after the club’s first World Series win.

Ok we joke about making room for more awards at the stadium but we are legit out of room in the Silver Sluggers hallway and we don’t even have last season’s in there yet.

Even when you win the last game, baseball will find ways to break your heart.

Catman DFA? 😿😿😾

I’m so glad butt identification discourse has started again, we are returning to our ancient texts.

He’s talking about tours. Literally bragging about how much the tours bring in year-round. Yet the Dodgers are refusing to pay a living wage and engaging in union busting.

Soooo…my to-read and to-re-read-to-notate pile is reaching stupid proportions…. If I started a baseball book club/review thing…would people care about that? Like to do it right would be a ton of work but I suddenly have a lot of free time on my hands in the evening.

Parade pics thread. I may have personal bones to pick with the team, but the fans? I adore Dodger fans.

The nominations for NL Manager of the Year were 1-9 against Dave Roberts in the postseason.

Relistening to the Blue Jays broadcast of Game 7 (baseball sicko in full sails) and I just realized that they have been cursing the Blue Jays all season. Because one of the Great Moments they repeat all the time was the “Touch ‘em all, Joe!” moment from their own B2B WS season.

On second thought, this might be a numbers dry run for the Olympics and if counting people gets us more trains, I’ll happily plunk down my $1.75.

🤣🤣🤣

Metro not being free today is kinda lame.

The crowd is playing catch with the dudes sitting on the street signs across Temple Street.

Let’s do this.

Folks. Don’t you remember the last time the baseball world said the Dodgers didn’t deserve to win? The last time you discounted them and called them lucky but undeserving? If you keep this up, they’re gonna find a way to win two World Series per year.

We are not allowed to go and most of us couldn’t score tickets. 🙃 If we had brought in millions of dollars to this team through our department, maybe then we…. …wait… I’m hearing we DID in fact make literal millions of dollars for the team. Cool. Super. Super cool.

Well I think I missed out on celebration tickets. Still stuck in the waiting room. 🫤

I simply think that a b2b World Championship team should not be paying ANYONE minimum wage, let alone their daily brand ambassadors like the Tour Guides. Will they allow us at the World Series celebration THIS year?! Let’s find out!

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

😌

THE DODGERS ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS

ANDY FUCKING PAGES

MIGHTH MIGGY RO

AWOOOOOOOOOO

WE ARE NOT GONNA TUNGSTEN ARM THIS BOYOS

I’m watching at Untamed Spirits, which is a women’s sports bar and the atmosphere during that dust up could only be described as screamingly feral.

Twice in one series, too.

Being from Tennessee myself, I know I’ll never be Born and Raised, but I can certainly be a Huell Howser.

If there’s not a bidding war for Miguel Rojas when he hits the coaching market, I’ll be heartily surprised.

When I finally get picked as goose.

This is Will Klein erasure.

Excellent party.

I LOVE LA!

Miggy Ro, human vacuum.

Y’all, the negging only worked for Conforto.

“I ran a simulation and-“ “I crunched the numbers and-“ “I ran the odds and-“ More sports writers need the courage to just put their maladaptive daydreams into the world without qualifiers.

It’s part infuriating, part comforting, and part completely demoralizing to know that the players deal with cartoonish anti-union villainy, too.

The 1920s Brooklyn teams - y’all don’t even understand the rollercoaster of the Uncle Robbie years.

Cackled when I saw who’s coming in to pitch.

Petty wolf getting fed tonight

Man. Whelp.

My personal postseason experience is now over and we totally CRUSHED it! Now let’s get that dub today, boys!

I am generally supportive of folks who talk about baseball history in social media videos but the number of them that just recite wiki articles is too damn high. Pick up one book! At least try a SABR article! C’mon, I believe in you!

Ah well. Tomorrow we come back strong! An exciting series!
