I really wanted to see Sox beat LA. Going from 100-losses to taking down the team breaking the sport would’ve made for a great story.

Massive choke job from the Sox

They made unwanted history as well with 21 strike outs tonight also made history for the series overall with 75 K's

Sox were never going to beat LA. No AL team is beating LA, let's be real. The only hope is the Brewers.

I think you can make a plausible argument that LA is the third-best team left. Milwaukee had the better record and the Miz is ultra-dominant. TB is a well-oiled machine. Meanwhile, Ohtani is hurt and Snell was awful in the NLDS. Is Edwin Diaz really back? Glasnow has question marks. There's a wide gap between the other 3 and Cleveland, but the Dodgers could lose the ALCS or the WS.

In fact, my pick is MIL vs. TB (both what I want to happen and what I think will).

Even last year in World Series the Jays were statistically better than the Dodgers in almost every category. They could have won the 18 inning game and should have won games 6 and 7.

The Brewers last year got swept in the NLCS. I believe the Rays can actually take it to gm 5 or 6.

Milwaukee vs. Rays WS would feed families. Although I would fully expect the same nauseating drivel we and Rangers fans had to endure a few years ago from other fans.

As much as I want this, it creates an argument that LA is not ruining baseball

Awe yes the ratings talk which I love because why tf do I care about tv ratings I don’t work for a network

u/emmanuelmtz04 3d ago

It’s not about the ratings. It’s about nothing being done about LA’s nonstop spending. It’s an argument against a salary cap

I really thought White Sox would win that. I just wanted a good game but omg lol

u/NoClueCrew Torey Lovullo 4d ago

Yeah.. being 2-0 and not being able to get the job done can't feel good for the WSox

BrewCrew/Rays let’s go!

My biggest cope of the season is that IF, IF the dodgers win the World Series, then that would make them 3peaters.

And the last time we won a World Series was against a back to back to back team. Not to mention we were the last ones to beat them in a postseason series.

But I’m hoping it’s the Rays that face em, if the brewers don’t get revenge.

Flappy Bois or I stare at a blank TV if the Doyers ruin my Postseason viewing experience again.

As long as Philly is out, I now only need LA to fail. Good luck to the rest.

u/awmaleg Jake McCarthy 4d ago

I’d be shocked if LA doesn’t win it all

I'm okay with anyone but the Dodgers. Either way, I'll be cheering for the AL in the World Series, though.

This got downvoted? Did some Dodgers fans get their feelings hurt?
