Barring a collapse, it looks like it will be the Dodgers with the Rockies getting the wild card. Either way, they both should make the playoffs...

GO DODGERS and ANGELS!! | paid attendance is a tricky thing. A paid seat is not necessarily an occupied seat. Maybe I am just remembering how things were when people would show up at the third inning of a dodger game(stuck in traffic and leave by the seventh in order to beat the traffic). Citifield or ****tifield , the mets new stadium has about 10,000 less seats than their old venue, Shea stadium. So they could have sellouts every night and never match the attendance records of stadiums with higher seating capacity.
Mets suck. period.

All that aside Los Angeles and Orange County have a large fan base and I doubt leaving early would be a consideration during a WORLD SERIES game!!
But what do I know I really don't follow the sport as closely as I did back in the day...What ever that means!
P.S. is phenomenal...

Guys, please don't forget about the East Coast teams. The World Series will go through either Boston or New York. I happen to like a Red Sox/Dodgers matchup but realistically think it will end up being Yankees/Cardinals.
BTW, Fox is also hoping that the World Series go through either Boston or New York.

Also remember Bill Singer's no hitter in 1970, I had the 45 (a small record for the youngsters) of that no hitter at one time not sure what happened to it.
We used to sit in the bleachers and we were proud members of the, Dodger Pepsi Fan Club for a few of those years, talking late 60's early 70's!  Did listen to Koufax Drysdale on the radio, boy could that Vin paint a picture with words... Quote:

Baesball.
Isn't that season over yet?
How is MLB gonna handle the Twins and the NFL?
From my limited understanding, some playoff game in the Metrodome wants to mess up my NFL season?!?
Packers @ Vikings rescheduled? (could it be true?)
What is the story? | |

I have been a big Drew Brees fan since he signed with the Saints.
I became a bigger fan when I learned what he has accomplished in the New Olrean's area after Katrina.
The Saint's Bye in week number five.

Really.
Does anyone think that the ABC network is willing to give up the revenue from this Monday Night game? 
And the ratings?
And I am not GIVING up my ticket or changing it!!
I have never been to the Metrodome!! | |

Deep left field nose bleed seats behind the giant foul pole, could barely see a thing. Even worse game, it was game 5. Damn Yankees won, took the series back to NY and won for the second straight year against the Dodgers. But at least I got to go to a World Series Game .
Ever since that series, I discovered that I could possibly slightly consider to somewhat bring myself to kinda root for a team from Boston , just because I hate the Yankees so much
If I'm not mistaken, I think the Dodgers(maybe even Vin himself) had something to do with coining the term 7th inning stretch to try and keep fans at the games longer....That road in/out of Elysian Park was a drag, especially when they would close off the back exit.
I haven't been to Petco Park yet, I hear it's great. Too bad the Padres aren't
