I stopped reading your post right there.
COVID year absolutely does count for the Dodgers (and I am hardly a fan of theirs). In fact you could say it should count extra because of the expanded playoffs. Despite having the best record in all of baseball, the Dodgers had to go through FOUR rounds of playoffs to win the title. That is a gauntlet that no first place team has had to run before or since.
Now if the Dodgers had sneaked into the playoffs as an eight seed with a below .500 record, and then gone on an insane postseason run, you could I guess claim their title lacked validity. But they didn't, and you can't.
Guys guys guys. As someone who clearly doesn’t have a dog in this race. Let me confirm the Doyers World Series run doesn’t count.It does count because every other team in MLB played by the same rules as the Dodgers. They played better than everyone else that year.
The Mets were idiots for not making that 8 team playoff that year.

That’s all I’ve got.
Also LA is shit hole
I know- it was kind of fun discussing SD in a friendly way with him but this has just turned into craziness. He has almost single handedly make me dislike SD. lol
It is crazy how the season has gone but to be honest- no need to even mention the other team. Just celebrate that we have made our way into the 2nd best record in baseball- and I believe, we are only 4.5 behind the leader.Must be an ESPN misprint. I'm looking at the standings, and the JV currently has passed the Varsity, the same Varsity that is on it's way to 120 wins. How can it be that the lowly Mutts, JV of a Circus Clown Show have the second best record in all of MLB? It's always a great night when we get to root and witness 2 wins in one night. 😁 We have the best closer in baseball, the best starting pitching staff and a lineup that can strike from both sides of the plate. Plenty of contact hitters that love to work counts. Anything can happen in a short playoff series, lord knows we see that every year watching playoff baseball of other teams, but the JV Mutts have The Circus Clown Car about as ready as any team in baseball to make a run. We shall see, as a major injury or cold streak could change everything.🎺🤞 ⚾
I’ll see myself out then. I’ll be sure to check back in when the dodgers fold in a pressure spot, again.I know- it was kind of fun discussing SD in a friendly way with him but this has just turned into craziness. He has almost single handedly make me dislike SD. lol
For the record, would love to see SD surge past LA, but don't see it happening. It's still early, but those high priced trades need to gel. It's early (did I say that?), but the Mets bargain basement picks in the trades are coming up roses. It's early, though. It's early. It's early.I’ll see myself out then.

I don't know if it was you that made the mistake or if you just copy and paste this from someplace, but it's Blade Tidwell. May as well get used to it.August 9 Mets Farm Report (Top 25 prospects per MLB Pipeline)

They’re just pressing right now tbh. Melvin event talked about it the other night.For the record, would love to see SD surge past LA, but don't see it happening.

Regarding your opinion on LA, Maynard James Keenan nailed it in the song Aenema in 1996. Language is is salty, but on point.
Here in this hopeless f____ing hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
What this makes me think of our organization vs let's say a SD at the trade deadline- and this even goes to our off season pickups- Eppler/Cohen seem to like the "fit" even more than the big splash. Every one of our pickups this year just seem to be amazing clubhouse guys and hardnose players vs going for the big nameFor the record, would love to see SD surge past LA, but don't see it happening.

The ever-pessimistic (Mets/RU) side of me is waiting for the shoe to drop with Ruf and Vogelbach and for them to turn into busts. OTOH, I'm optimistic that Givens will "give" the Mets some good outings, despite his rough start. You never really know how these things will work out. But Mets announcers on radio and TV have said several times that fit and chemistry were important to the Mets, and that will not change.What this makes me think of our organization vs let's say a SD at the trade deadline- and this even goes to our off season pickups- Eppler/Cohen seem to like the "fit" even more than the big splash.
