It’s okay guys, their payroll is only close to $300 million. A shame that this season and the World Series was flushed away with such a horrendous decision by Roberts to start a mentally fragile pitcher.

3 of the top 4 players in salary are homegrown. So it's not like we were out there buying players.

Payroll numbers don't really mean anything given how much single players tend to skew the numbers. Houston wasn't exactly moneyballing it.

I blame Bill Plaschke.

But didn't give up a **** ton of runs in either case.

I think he may have lasted longer than 1.5 innings in each of his outings as well.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

I hope we can snag Jake Arrieta in the winter.

The Dodgers have to dump Kershaw. Kershaw is not going to get better. He's going downhill with his back.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Every time my team loses in the playoffs, I try to look for another one of my team's schedule to see when they will be playing that same city. Then I forgot Houston doesn't have an NHL team. So a Rams victory against the Texans on the 12th would make me feel a bit better.

 

[Fishhead]

These were the two best teams in baseball this year, Houston brought it in game 7, the Dodgers didn't.

Neither of these teams particularly excel at small ball, so whoever went cold was going to be in trouble.

Dang kinda feel bad for Dodger fans. Might be awhile til another world series comes along. Wow.

Given that the last one was almost 30 years ago and this is the closest they’ve gotten since then, I’d say you’re right. I don’t know if it’ll reach Cubs/Red Sox levels of a championship drought, but it’s not going to be easy for this team to replicate the same success they just had.

The Astros only had to be better in two innings. This game was decided by Darvish, who gave up all runs. What a magnificent acquisition and decision.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

But look at the Royals and Rangers. They went to two straight WS. It's not impossible.

Not impossible, but very unlikely.

 

[kingsboy11]

Damn I was working the Sharks game and heard the final score. Everyone in the arena loved that. Thought this was finally the year. This sucks

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

This high speed chase taking place is more exciting than today's Game 7.

 

[KINGS17]

Okay so what's next for LA sports dreams? Don't even need to dream about the NBA Finals. Warriors aren't losing any time soon. Stanley Cup? Doable but unlikely. Dare I say it...Rams in Super Bowl?!?!?!?!?! 5-2 is looking great. But yeah, let's talk about finishing over .500 first.

Yes, in the miracle of all miracles this man will lead the LA Rams to a super Bowl championship.

Caveat emptor.

 

[The Butcher]

Still having a hard time wrapping my head around that game 7...

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Rams about to be 6-2 with this beatdown of the Giants. I hope we can see the same against Houston next week.

 

[Stimpythecat]

I just saw Roy Halladay died in a small plane crash. He was only 40.

 

[KopitarFAN]

I hope we can snag Jake Arrieta in the winter.

No thanks, rather not give a 5 year deal to a guy who will be 32 in March and has trended down over the last 2 seasons.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Looks like LA finally has an NFL team.

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Makes me feel better. World Series loss still stings. I'd take any win against Houston in any sport.

Hey fellas, I figure this is the place on this site where we love Lonzo and Big Baller Brand! First 2x3 and youngest ever to do it.

Eh, not really. Can't stand them at all.

BBB so many acronyms for this. I can't stand the Balls too. From the Father to the criminal, to the youngest Ball. Regarding Lonzo he's been very much a disappointment aside from a few good games. However, I'm not gonna call him a bust yet and gonna give him time to develop I think he has promise. But man I sort of feel bad for this Kid he has to deal with his mom's stroke, his loudmouth father to his idiot brother and all the expectations Magic and the Dumb Lakers put on him. You can take only so much as a young man. No one has said it but his family has definitely in my opinion affected his play on the court. Lets hope he pans out cuz this is gonna be one of the biggest BUSTS of all time if he doesn't.
