So Who Will Dodgers And Their Fans Blame NLDS Game 4 Loss On This Time?

[SINFULONE]

A)Bigfoot

B)Casper The Ghost

C)Elvis

D)Obama

E)Insert other umpire here

Have heard enough of how invincible they are, and how the opposing team "cheats" or "pays off the umpires".The Dodgers never lose to a better team, rather than they are somehow robbed of victory that is rightfully theirs.Kershaw is supposed to be this untouchable pitcher that hasn't been seen since the likes of Koufax, yet he can't even hold a 6-1 or 2-0 lead in the playoffs.With the Dodgers it's always style more than substance.Good riddance to this team and many of their fans for 2014.

(PS: I vote for Bigfoot.)

I will enjoy listening to Ben Maller going apeshit on his radio show tonight.

I heard Kershaw referred to as "Peyton" Kershaw tonight.

At least Manning has won a Super Bowl.Kershaw hasn't even made a World Series.

It sucks when the better teams choke. On the other hand it was nice seeing the Royals shock the world.

Speaking of which, I keep waiting for the Nationals to wake up.And Giants bullpen is tough.

Manning had a couple more years under his belt before he did anything in the playoffs than Kershaw has had so far. The postseason failures are absolutely comparable to Manning at this point in Kershaw's career

Agreed. Unless it's my team, I'd rather the underdog lose lol. Was rally hoping to see the Dodgers against either the Angels or Tigers. That didn't work out all that well lol.

If he keeps getting enough chances he will eventually break through just like Manning.

I find it very interesting so many other fans can tolerate LA teams winning in the playoffs.Generally speaking, I despise LA/NY/Boston sports, and almost always pull for them to lose.

The reality is that Kershaw is a historically good pitcher, regardless of his performance in the Playoffs and he's always worth watching. Puig is a lot of fun. And for me personally I'm a big fan of Carl Crawford.

It will be interesting to see who comes out of the West. Both teams have been impressive for theist bunch of seasons.

lol youre telling me. Rendon and Harper seem to be the only two players who can hit.

I get all that, but those teams are typically praised and hyped up nationally it makes me sick to my stomach.I really don't care how exciting or historically good someone is, if the uniform has one of those cities printed on the front I want to see them lose.LA teams are typically more style than substance.Hell, their fans can't even show up to games on time, and often leave early.LA and their fans symbolize what I dislike about sports.A week ago in Anaheim, some idiot fan critically injured another fan outside the stadium for no apparent reason.There are other teams that are just as exciting to me than the Dodgers.I enjoy watching Harper, dude just blasted a home run into McCovey Cove.

That was fun to watch Harper crush that home run.Too bad Nationals reliever keeps throwing the ball away.

Historically good in the regular season.

Can't quite measure up in the postseason though.

I blame Don Mattingly pitching management. Probably won't get him canned (since he made the postseason) but they shoudl remove bench coach in favor of a Pitching Manager that will make those pitching decisions with limited input from Mattingly (for double switch or pinch-hit situations, for instance).

He had a limited bullpen to work with.Coletti deserves much of the blame too.
