    I don't know man. I can't say that my teams have lost in such heartbreaking fashion (maybe 1 of the 35 true Warriors fans can)...but can't fathom the opposing fans not being supportive enough making matters any worse. Maybe if they hate the fan base (Steelers beating Bengals, big rivals etc), but IMO not just because they are sucky fans.

    I'm not talking about immediate impact, but after awhile thinking entirely about it is just rubbing more salt on the wound.

    They lost to a top 5 worst fan base in '95 and worst in '97.

    But we're they the worst in 97 just 5 years in?

    Dodgers break out Vin Scully, predictable but yet still fucking awesome.
  • Ironman92
    Dave Roberts lineup and game plan is good stuff.

    Lineup is insane and everyone fake bunting because Lester hates it.

    Hope Francona is watching this.
  • Ironman92
    They have to steal!!! He was 20+ feet off first 3x and never ran.

    Indians will run on him
  • Ironman92
    Now leading 25 feet off 2nd and not running
  • Ironman92
    Lol at Joe Buck. Fan makes an awesome play on a line shot and Buck says "and that's why you where a sleeveless shirt to the ball park" lol

    Dodgers didn't steal 1st and only got to 2nd on hit, but that hit would've scored him....then didn't steal 2nd and sac fly next batter would've scored them.

    Lester fields a bunt a purposely throws a 1 hopper to Rizzo then stares down Dodgers dugout as he walks in for the inning

    Worst interview ever
  • Ironman92
    Marquez sucking bad. Lester about to kill him

    Yes, but Rizzo and Russell getting back to what they do...pretty noteworthy
  • Ironman92
    Lester let Marquez know, he's almost Lackey mad

    About two years ago I saw Lester yell at his son for acting up at a grocery store, and he was so scary. Looked like he could easily kill someone.

    They interviewed Contreras and asked him if he had the guts to make a visit to the mound for Lackey, he said not yet but he's getting there.

    I don't think these guys are giant assholes in general (well maybe Lackey) but Lester is mild during interviews. But these guys have been competing very well in the biggest of postseason games for a long long time.

    Anyone charging the mound better take a bat. They are intense as fuck.
  • Ironman92
    He was safe.
  • Ironman92
    Marquez is struggling
  • Ironman92
    There you go....scored on nothing.

    Dodgers should definitely be up 2-1
  • SportsAndLady
    These NLCS games take too damn long.
  • Ironman92
    Addison Russell is doing well at age 22
  • Ironman92
    This is Lester's 14th career playoff series. In his 17 starts he's averaged 7 inn and a 2.48 ERA

    There's an 85% chance Baez does coke between innings

    Lol, I don't even care.

    MLB 2nd baseman are mostly great defensively but Baez has done about 5 things at 2nd to make different plays this postseason that I'm not sure any other 2nd baseman could do.

    Look where he starts on this push bunt and look where he throws it from...and gets the out. Incredible

  • SportsAndLady
    Yeah that was a great play. Baez is probably the only guy I like on the Cubs. They're not a dislikeable team at all, I just hate the Cubs. So fuck them.
