1) Hah. I've been That Guy before. The contrarian sports fan just trying to needle their friends. Don't push your boundaries too far. Your friends will still love you, but they'll also think you're being a dick.Alienated almost every baseball fan I live in close proximity to by supporting the Dodgers over the Giants.
That's okay. I'm not really a huge sports guy. It mostly just fun to watch people here in NorCal sputter when you don't automatically love the Giants (this also goes for not loving the 49ers.)
All this rhetoric about the Giants and Dodgers never meeting before in the playoffs drives me insanemaybe the most important game played between the two ever.
well, i think it's meant to come with the cache of "in their current incarnations" as san francisco and los angeles franchises. like, posited towards the current fanbases and the rivalry that comes from the location difference.All this rhetoric about the Giants and Dodgers never meeting before in the playoffs drives me insane

Literally the greatest game of baseball history and everyone acts like it never happened
you know, it is a little unfortunate for houston, considering only like 4 players from that team were on their playoff roster. It did happen to be four of the loudest and brashest personas from that team though, so probably fair play to drag them for it. Either way, not a whole lot of excitement in the series, aside from some class home runs and that atlanta team is genuinely likable. bring on the off season though. excited for a nice round of hand wringing about hall of fame votes, and excited to see if this is a year where every front office is afraid to spend money.
If being labeled as cheaters is the worst enduring consequence of all of this, they're getting off easy. If this was the 1920s, they would have been given the death penalty. As long as the same owners own the team, this should follow them around like an albatross.I don't think it's fair that Houston is branded as cheaters for however long this lasts.

Lol what?
