I repeat…

lol

everyone is playing for 2nd

Dodgers won 111 games 3 years ago and won exactly one playoff game. It’s baseball, anything can happen.

They are a lock to make playoffs, but it’s not like basketball where the best team always wins. 

Also, their entire rotation don’t have the best track record of health. 

Right…buuuttt…

they pretty much cruised to the championship and have added by way of acquisition or health 

Othani pitching
this new Japanese kid
glasnow
snell
Tanner Scott 

A lot of things can go wrong and they are still better than last year.

They were down 0-2 in the opening round of the playoffs and needed to win 3 straight to advance.

this is from the comments section of MLB Trade Rumors, so I can’t 100% vouch for its accuracy, but…..

d**gers media deal pays them $3.5B while the yankees deal is for $85M? if true, MLB is the true villian here for allowing this kind of disparity.

they share media rights in the NFL.

This year's Hall of Fame class: Ichiro Suzuki, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner.

Ichiro was 1 vote shy of a unanimous selection. Who was the lone dissenter and what reasoning was used to not vote for him?

I didn’t realize wagner was dominant until the end. injuries were mounting up and he walked away. well deserved induction.

I think this statistic is accurate (someone can fact check): Billy Wagner holds the highest strikeout percentage of batters faced in the history of Major League Baseball.

Ichiro was so much fun to watch.  Loved those first few years, how much we all were stunned at how good dude was, all around. 
Stepped in and dominated.

Thought there was a chance he might get 100%^ of the vote. I think he got like 99.7

ALSO: Billy Wagner ended his career 5 strikeouts short of having a 2:1 ratio of strikeouts to hits allowed. 

Incredible.

His baseball reference page is wild.  242 hits as a rookie!  10 years straight over 200 hits and BA over .300 to start his MLB career!  Would probably have broken Pete Rose's record if he came over here when he was 20 instead of 26.  There's always 1 crusty old asshole baseball writer who won't make it unanimous.
