Let's wrap it up
Regarding the Dodgers.....I pretty much said what I felt in my previous post and although it sounds like rationalizing when one loses...it's a truth.
Only two teams played baseball on October 28.
Silver medals are a good thing.
Finishing second after seven months of playing baseball at the highest competitive level in the world is not something to feel ashamed off.
Being the only team that can go the World Series three times in a row is not a bad thing.
If they go again next year and lose....keep in mind that Fran Tarkenton lost four Super Bowls and he gets $100k for giving motivational speeches on how to deal with hard losses.
I don't regard losing Super Bowls as a hard loss.....there are so many more types of losses that are REALLY losses that it seems rather silly to be extremely angry or deeply depressed because a sport team suffered a defeat in the last game of the season.
It's their livelihood and they can be sad for a few days.
Fans simply have to turn their attention to another sport or use the great baseball axiom known as
'WAIT TIL NEXT YEAR."
I will say one more thing. I would not be surprised if Dave Roberts received thousands of thank-you e-mails from Boston fans that read something like this
Dear Dave,
You are still an iconic figure in Boston and after some of the decisions you made during the last 5 games...we know you still love Boston and maybe you could be our GM
Love
Boston Fan Base
And because of the Rams
most LA sport fans can simply turn our attention to an 8-0 team.....and hope for one last moment of redemption.
Super Bowl Jan 2019
RAMS................... 35
PATRIOTS............21
Thank you LA Dodgers for another World Series experience
and
GO
RAMS
P.S......it's too early to talk about what changes the Dodgers should make.....but
hustle sometimes Manny
is gone
as is Dozier
Madson
Woods
Grandal
Freeze can stay if he wants to play part time
and last but not least
Chase Utley should be added to the coaching staff....immediately.
Spring training is only four months away
And remember to set your clocks back next weekend.
Like I said earlier
GO
RAMS!

Let's talk some baseball
The Dodgers are in the World Series for the second year in a row.....after not being there for 28 years.
That's the good news.
There's a very high probability that they will lose their second world series in a row since they are down 2-0 to a very good Boston Red Sox team that won 108 games during the regular season.
If they go to the World Series next year and lose again and then go to the World Series the year after and lose again......I WILL STILL BE PLEASED.......let me explain why.
Every spring 30 major league teams get together and start a very long season that ends in the fall.
EVERY TEAM HAS ONE GOAL
To get to the World Series
just like every football team has one goal....
TO GET TO THE SUPER BOWL
Realistically 15 of the 30 teams know they don't have a prayer but baseball is a funny game and just when you think something can't happen.....IT HAPPENS...ie....The miracle Mets in 69, the 88 Dodgers and the Giants recently winning 3 in six years.
WINNING THE WORLD SERIES IS THE BONUS TO THE ORIGINAL GOAL
THE CHERRY ON TOP
THE BIG ENCHILADA
THE ULTIMATE WAVE
of course the team that loses the World Series in the 7th game has a different perspective than the other 29 teams.....they REALLY want to win but their MAIN goal is to GET back to the event.
IT'S VERY HARD TO BE ONE OF THE TWO LAST TEAMS PLAYING IN LATE OCTOBER.
I LOVE THE FACT THAT THE DODGERS ARE IN THE WORLD SERIES FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.
My beautiful granddaughter Isla was born in March of 2017
She has never known the Dodgers NOT to be in the World Series.
Just like Cody Bellinger as a major league player. Two years and two World Series experiences.
Obviously EVERYBODY WANTS THEIR TEAM TO WIN THE WORLD SERIES
I know this sounds silly but I just want my teams to play in the final games or game of the year.
I want the Rams to play in the Super Bowl
I want The Trojans to play in the National Championship Game
I want the Dodgers to play in the World Series
WINNING ANY OF THOSE EVENTS
IS
A
BONUS
By the way.........It's a capitalistic cultural problem. Finishing second in America at anything is regarded as a failed experience.
Thank God the Olympics give out three medals and Bronze medal winners are proud of their accomplishment for the rest of their lives....AS THEY SHOULD BE.
GETTING TO THE OLYMPICS IS A HUGE DEAL......winning a gold medal is a
BONUS
Now you might be saying that I've adopted this perspective because I know the Dodgers cannot win this current match-up against the Red Sox.
Please believe me when I tell you that I've always had this perspective.....and a psychologist can probably explain how that perspective has kept me from achieving my ultimate goals.
{AS AN ARTIST.....ULTIMATE GOALS are supercalifragilisticexpialidocious......but that's another tale for another time}
Please note....I'm not saying the Dodgers are going to lose this World Series because they are down two games. I'm just saying all the negative talk by sportswriters and fans IF they lose is just a bunch of people not looking at the entire process in a correct way....and the poor Dodger players and front office people will have to hear a bunch of stupid questions next spring about how the team feels after losing two in a row.
Having said that....I do have a couple of questions for Dave Roberts regarding a few of his decisions....but he sounds like a politician when answering certain questions...."I felt good about that certain match up at the precise moment."
Hard to argue with hunches.
When a hunch works out.....you are genius
When a hunch doesn't work out.....you are an idiot.
God.....I LOVE
BASEBALL.
I especially love baseball in late October when the Dodgers are playing.
In summation.....
The event is so much more important than the result.
unless of course
you
win
As a small footnote...I've had numerous calls from political canvassers during the World Series and I simply say....."you should be watching the World Series, it will take your mind off the bs."
and
then
I
remember
that most people don't even know there is a World Series.
7 billion people on the planet and maybe 700 million are interested in the World Series.
That's 10 percent of the population....AND I might be extremely generous with my estimation.
So if the Dodgers lose the 2018 World Series.....practically speaking it's safe to say....
MOST OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET WILL HAVE NO IDEA WHO FINISHED SECOND AND WHO FINISHED FIRST.
Last thought about Baseball......I wonder how many ballplayers are in that caravan headed toward the United States from Central America?
There could be a 10 year old future Hall of Fame shortstop sleeping under a lean-to in Mexico dreaming about playing baseball in America.
I hope the Dodgers scout him and sign him and he leads them to a World Series in 2034
GO DODGERS

Baseball Playoffs are perfect answer to political stress
Midterm elections are approaching and tension is high.....but when one is a baseball fan and has a favorite team in the playoffs
NOTHING ELSE REALLY MATTERS
Happy, excited AND nervous people live in
Houston, Boston, Milwaukee and of course
LOS ANGELES

Quick opinion of Supreme Court situation
When the GOP refused to acknowledge President Obama's choice in 2016 for the vacated Supreme Court seat that was the beginning of tit for tat that is now taking place. For almost 13 months the Supreme Court of the United States only had eight judges.
There are three branches of government and one of the branches was incomplete for 13 months because the GOP didn't want a Democratic choice on that seat.
Democrats don't want a second Trump choice on that seat but all indications point to the reality that there's no stopping that from happening.
But watching the Treasurer of a high school club called the 100 Keg or Bust Club testify in front of the Senate and act like he didn't party hardy in High School, or College, made no sense.
By the way, it's true....he was the treasure of the 100 Keg or Bust Club in High School.
When he was asked if he had blackouts his answer was.......didn't you?
His best friend Mark Judge is a recovering alcoholic who won't come forth.
His short temper while sitting on the current hot seat is not a good indication of how he will judge cases.
I think it's time to move on
BUT
the real problem is
the next person selected...
And just to be a real jerk
DJT will pick some extreme right wing religious fanatic
who
will
get
the job and
we will really be screwed.
November midterm elections might help
offset the
insanity
