The Dodgers finished the 60 game season with the best record in baseball. Their playoffs are starting the same week as the Lakers NBA championship series. The big problem is the opening 2 out of 3 series against some loser. If the other team has two hot pitchers the Dodgers could get upset. Big worry.--Steve Yohe

Burnes went on the DL a couple of days ago. He's out for the first round. So it's just one hot one in Woodruff.

Game 7 on Sunday.

Last nights loss in game 4 was the toughest beating I've ever taken in being around
& watching sports. Really took that one hard. As soon as the game was over, I watched a movie on TCM, then did wrestling stuff until 3:00....then I read until 6 am. Couldn't sleep & got up about 8:30. Went back to working on the wrestling project until about 10:00 .... then slept until 3:30 PM. Now I've got a hour and a haft until the next game starts.

90% of baseball games can be boring to watch if your not interested, but then one comes along that you'll remember forever. The more you watch & know....the better it gets. Baseball is a great game, just filled with drama, that most people can't see. It's a wonderful game. Last night will live with me over the next few years & I pass. --- Steve "I love the Dodgers" Yohe

Agree that Game 4 was one of the worst ever.

The Astros cheating in Game 5 of the 2017 Series was the worst.

Other painful ones:

Game 4 of the 1978 Series when Reggie pulled this stunt:

If the Dodgers won that, rather than losing in extra innings, they go up 3-1 in the Series with Games 6 & 7 in Los Angeles.

Garvey talks about it here:

Games 5 & 6 of the NLCS were painful:

For the 2nd time this month, Congrats!

The Justin Turner Covid thing though proves a harsh reminder of what has happened this year.

A total disaster. And yet Justin Turner will not be disciplined for his obvious stupidity.

Turner Was around everyone for a full day & he probably had it before that. Someone gave it to Turner too. He was the guy who kept the team in line for that season & he set the rules. He was the leader of the team. The season was over. He had to be there. ---- Steve Yohe
