I sure hope I'm wrong, and this year the Dodgers don't seem to be petering out...

Ugh, don't remind me of the 4 Super Bowls that the Bills lost!
I'm a Sabres fan too, and am used to disappointment. At least the Yankees are doing well.

I was never a Bills fan, but I did want to see them win at least one SB.

We haven't gone to as many games as we would have liked to this season. Hoping we can squeeze one or two more games in
before it's all over for this year. There's nothing better than a hot dog (and peanuts) at the ballpark!!!

Will the Dodgers manage to win game five against the Nationals this evening? It's 3-0 Dodgers in the bottom of the 3rd.

Top of the 10th, Wahington up 7-3. I'm sensing a historical Dodger dejavu

Hey, at least they didnt lose in the WS AGAIN.....
Good year, their best regular season record, sad to see them lose. I did not watch the end of the game last night, and was sad for a few seconds this morning when I looked up the score, then realized I'm Saved, so nothing else truly matters.....
Sports to me like TV in general, are simply some of the things I do or watch while passing time waiting to be called home.

You were sad longer than I was. I happened to see something that led me to learn that they had a game so I checked the score and then kept up with it. It's interesting that they've had some good years lately but they're definitely missing some key ingredient that's required for champions. I would be bored to death watching anything but soccer, but since the Dodgers were my childhood team, I'd like to see them do well. They sure did have a good season, but got beat in the end by a so-so team... that doesn't say much for the Dodgers. Brilliant season, abysmal finish.Hey, at least they didnt lose in the WS AGAIN.....

I feel bad for Kershaw. He is a strong Christian, and donates millions and his time to his Christian out reach ministry.
After all his recent back surgeries, his arm strength is no longer as dominate as it was for 10 years. Last nights poor performance by him will stay with him for years, but not for eternity!

I know this World Series is the lowest rated in a long time, but Im enjoying watching the games. Neither are my team, but I dont like Houston, so Im pulling for the Nats to win. First 6 games have all been won by the visiting team which has never happened in any sport that has a 7 games series.
Watching the game reminds me of a very peaceful time in my life. As a kid, I would take my baseball mitt, place it through the handlebars on my bicycle, and pedal as fast as I could to the nearest park to play a game with my friends. My mom would get mad at me when she found another of my white t shirts that I had taken a black marker to and wrote in the last name and number of my favorite player (usually number 24 Willie Mays). Many a summer night we would play until the night lights came on and we had to be home.
I still get the urge to visit a batting cage, but the older me understands swinging a bat at high speed over a few minutes might cause days of painful regret.

Or even a couple earnest swings, not a good outcome.

Willie Davis, Jim Gilliam, John Roseboro, Don Singer. My brother in law knew Jim Lefebvre and so we met him after one game. Got his autograph, somewhere.
