I was one game off. They are a 91 win team. :D
I hope they win it all or the Brewers do
Fuck everyone in the AL, and fuck the Dodgers in the NL. the other two NL teams I am OK with, but I am obviously excluding the Rockies because they are my number one. We're not gonna be able to retain all these bats in the offseason so this has to be the year we win it. Come on Rocks.

Annual Salary of Current Contract

2016-2022: $23 million per season ($17 million kept, $6 million deferred)

2023-2032: $3.5 million a year annually

2033-2037: $1.4 million a year annually

Paying him until 2037. Unbelievable.
I had to verify all of this was real... holy fuckmoon johnson.
Why the Fuck is any contract running till 2037?!

Sweet. I've been watching the game off and on. It was on at the gym. Came home and started cooking dinner and turned the game on. Must've missed it, dammit. Love the game so far, though. Image

Watched ALDS highlights on youtube a day or two ago and the back-and-forth bickering between Yankees and Red Sox fans in the comments section never gets old.

Why don't you just wear a Broncos jersey with a Raiders hat?

My colors don't run #Warriors (Coney Island, not those queers upstate). Brewers swept us, dickshine, of COURSE I am rooting for the opposing home town team, pfft.

The Dodgers are due. If they keep firing money off into the abyss with no apparent limit in sight, eventually they will win one on talent alone. The organization seems to have embraced that philosophy.

This may not be the year though. But they'll be a contender for a while.

Ok. So if the Colts eliminate the Broncos from the playoffs, are you then going to root for the Raiders in the next round to knock off the Colts?

Would love if they got eliminated by the Brewers and watch Machado walk to the Yankees after giving up their entire farm for him. lol. Please happen.

If Machado walks, they'll just throw a billion dollars at another star. The Dodgers are due.

What star is available? Judge and Stanton aren't going anywhere. Trout is likely to sign an extension this year or go to Philly. Bryce Harper? lol.

They're due for another power outage.

Are you under the impression that they can't pay Harper?

I'm under the impression that Harper is overrated to high heaven.

Down year and still on base almost 4 out of 10 opportunities. He's a top 10 player in baseball, he's not Trout.

OBP is fine. But needs to be considered how many of those were intentional walks with a runner on 2nd or 3rd to try to generate a double play ball.
