Possibly. Long story short--game got a 10 rating in LA, while debate got a 34. In Philly, the game got a 34, and the debate a few points less. I was trying to delete it, but you replied to it.

The sig annoys me. But it won't be changed for at lest 2 weeks or so.

What he's saying is: If they got to face a 45 year old starter (who's possibly just out of gas) every time, they might have won another game or two.

Ethier wrote:The writers have asked if I feel we were beaten by a better club. I don't, no way. I'm not shy in saying that. They definitely beat us, but we also beat ourselves a bit. You can look at Game 1 and Monday's game. If we don't make mistakes in those games, we just as easily could have won them. They executed better than we did, no doubt.

Uh... doesn't that usually mean they were a better team than you?

by **VoxOrion** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 06:58:48

I wonder which team is better? Why don't we do this novel thing, instead of having fans, sports writers and broadcasters determine who the best team is before or during the game, lets play seven baseball games and we'll determe which team is better by adding up the number of runs they have at the end of each game: the team with the most runs wins. Does that sound like a good measure of best?

I love ESPN.com's "Must Read" section.

1 article on the Rays, one article about Rays/Red Sox, one article about Dodgers, 1 article about Cubs, 1 article about Yankees Stadium.

No articles about the NL champs.

More Dodger fan video fun

During the final game of the N.L.C.S., a guy in the stands was wearing a S.F. Giants hat and got it ripped off his head (allegedly by a guy dressed up like Manny Ramirez). Rowdiness ensued and the cops -- LAPD uniformed officers who were off duty and working for the Dodgers -- responded.

As the cops confronted the dreadlocked perp, some moron threw a full cup of beer at the officers leaving them soaking wet. When the cops turned to find the beer-thrower, another moron from a different section heaved more beer at the cops.

That's when the uniformed cops decided to enforce the anti-moron law -- grabbing the man they believe threw the second beer and dragging him down the concrete stairs. The tape stops, and by the time the shooter hit record again, back-ups were there.

That video is bad. Not really sure how something like that isn't getting more press attention.

Somebody should email Neyer and ask him why he disrespected the Phillies.

My cousin said that the Dodgers fans are definitely the worst to fans of opposing teams (in his experience), way worse than in Philly - but he also commented that the people who work the stadium and the cops were totally professional and cool. His example was that he couldn't imagine CBP employees pleasantly escorting Dodgers fans down to the dugouts to celebrate with the team after the win like they did at Dodgers Stadium.

tj simers:

SEVERAL DODGERS fans e-mailed complaining about the fan experience in the stadium for Game 4.

"I am not sure I will take my son to another Dodger game any time soon," wrote Ken Gowey. "It makes me absolutely ashamed to be a Dodger fan."

I was afraid of this, knowing some folks born in Philly have probably moved here and become Dodgers fans over the years.

The thing is, you just can't take the Angryville out of them, which obviously explains all the problems in Dodger Stadium.

TODAY'S LAST word comes from Norm Pangracs:

"After the fifth inning I called the number the Dodgers said to call if anyone is causing trouble during the game. I was surprised to get a recorded voice. I thought for sure a live person would answer. I left a message: 'There's a group from Philadelphia making me very uncomfortable. They're the Philadelphia Phillies.' "

Amen.
