Around Baseball

Dodgers are ridiculous. MLB has to do something about the financial inequities of the sport. Dodgers are buying their way to a world series trophy while the Braves have a three year run before they lose key players. It sucks.

I'd rather be us than them. We'll have more than three years at the top. Nobody has sustained a better organization nor produced more top shelf home grown talent than we have.

A five man rotation that should be/is the envy of baseball, the best closer in the game, four all-star caliber position players? Ours is every bit as theirs.

Gotta disagree. Price, Shields, Hellickson, Longoria, and more.

Though I'll admit, the Rays are also really good at finding diamonds in the rough (KJ, Pena and Zobrist come to mind)

Have you seen the Rays rotation? Who are the four home grown all star position players?

And you over estimate their ability because of their current hot streak. Are they a talented team? Sure. But they aren't going to win the world series.

They didn't start well because they were injured. What if Kemp comes back and hits? They are loaded.

Calm down. I seriously doubt the Dodgers win the world series this year. How many titles did the Yankees win while spending ridiculous amounts of money the last 10 years? The Mets? The Dodgers? Red Sox? Cubs? Phillies? Tigers? Angels?

I'm fairly certain that only the 04 Sox, 07 Sox, and 09 Yankees could be considered 'bought' titles. And I wouldn't list the 04 Sox that way even though they had a high payroll. Money doesn't equal titles in Baseball.

Dodgers are on fire, they have two pitchers better than our best starter.

I'm not sure they win the WS, but I'm not sure who beats them in the NL.

Some AL teams could however.

They may not, but who is going to beat them in the NL?
 
The Dodgers are pretty damn good. But it often feels like more often, the NL team that goes to the WS wasn't the favorite going in. Who knows what will happen? We just have to be playing our best baseball going in.
 
Is it possible that when his career is over that Miguel Cabrera will go down as the greatest hitter of all time?
