Yup. Lakers will always be #1 in my heart but, to me, it would be a bigger win for the Dodgers because they've been knocking on the door for the last seven years. We can finally say LA won two major sports championship in the same year which hasn't happened since the last time the Dodgers won the World Series.


I feel the same man, it was so hard to get over being cheated by the Astros too, I just feel like in 2020 where there’s so many bad things happening, that seeing the Dodgers finally win the championship that has eluded them, it would really be special.

LA has been spoiled to the point where if the Lakers don't win every decade we think the sky is falling. We expect the Lakers to win championships because of the excellence that started under the Buss regime. On the other hand, the Dodgers have come up short time and time again for the past 32 years, so when they finally do break thru you will see a lot of pent up frustration relieved. The Dodgers were supposed to have the Laker standard of excellence just because of how good they were previously in the past so when they finally do win it will be more of a relief that they can finally meet some sort of high expectations that are set for them.


I think just the talent level they have too, it would be such a shame if they can’t get a championship, the good it would do for the legacy of Kershaw would be great too, all the pain of past failures replaced by the glory.

2 4-2 series wins would be a numeric blessing for LA. 24 - 2 Mamba and GiGi... this coming from a Nats loyalist...

The part about this MLB season that will be asterisked is the regular season, with only sixty games. Any stat involving a big percentage in the regular season (BA, OPS, ERA, whatever) will deserve an asterisk. But the post-season is legit, though it will be remembered as a curiosity.

So happy for Kershaw. I think most baseball fans can agree on that one. Finally something that went right in 2020.

I'm out of the country but I'm watching the live-streams on YouTube. You gotta love L.A., I don't think anybody can act a fool quite like we can.

My favorite reaction was Kershaw, he's been thru a lot with this team, to see him finally achieve his dream of being a World Series champion as a Dodger.

Dunno which is more significant. But I've cried now twice this month on account of sports joy.
