Geoff Grace Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 The Dodgers evened the series and head back to LA, where they won 58 games this season.

KenElevenShadows Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 That was a convincing win, too.

Geoff Grace Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I expect the series to go the full five games, though. After all, how much difference is there between a 107-win team and a 106-win one? The Giants edged out the Dodgers in the regular season, ten games to nine; but LA outscored SF in those games 80-78: two more narrow margins. Both teams breathe rarified air. They"re about as evenly matched as possible. Best, Geoff Quote My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They"re about as evenly matched as possible. Best, Geoff I give the Dodgers a significant edge. Scherzer/Buehler/Urias is pretty clearly a stronger trio than Webb/Gaussman/DeScalfia. Dodgers bullpen also stronger. Giants are without Belt, Dodgers missing Muncy, call that a wash. Both teams have seasoned big-game players and deep benches. Giants win only if starters punch above their weight (which Webb did nicely).

Geoff Grace Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I guess the Giants are punching above their weight, then. That's two shutout wins in three games. It's a small consolation that the Dodgers have outscored the Giants 9-7 in total points. Too bad LA couldn't have divided those hot bats more evenly over the last three games. They'd likely be up 2-1 rather than down 1-2. The next two are elimination games for LA. I hope they find a way to win out. http://www.geoffgrace.com/Pictures/Dodgers.jpg GO DODGER BLUE!!!

Geoff Grace Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Oh, and how about this upset? Boston Red Sox advance to ALCS behind Kiké Hernandez, Rule 5 draft pick-turned-bullpen ace Garrett Whitlock It was satisfying to see Kiké Hernández play a pivotal role in the win. He was a great Dodger. Best, Geoff Quote My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Grace Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Dodgers win Game 4! It all comes down to Game 5. Factoring in the postseason so far, both teams are at 109 wins. It seems fitting that two teams who were neck-and-neck throughout the season would enter the last game of their series the same way.

Geoff Grace Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Tied 1-1, heading into the 9th inning of Game 5. Is there any doubt that these two teams are evenly matched? It's a shame that one of them will have to go home. Best, Geoff Quote My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Grace Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I'm more than happy to see the Dodgers advance, but that was a check swing. It looked like LA was going to win it anyway, but we'll never know for sure... My condolences to our Giants fans. A great team was eliminated tonight.

KenElevenShadows Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That was totally a check swing. There's no possible way you can interpret that as anything else but a check swing. I'm glad the Dodgers won, but I prefer a more definitive victory. Dodgers fans are all saying that the Giants benefited from a messed up call in July.

Geoff Grace Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Speaking of calls I don't get...

Geoff Grace Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Congrats to Atlanta. They accomplished what last year's team could not. We Dodgers fans got our World Series win last year, I hope Atlanta goes on to win it this year.

Synthaholic Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Atlanta Braves finish off Houston Astros for first World Series championship since 1995 Congratulations to Synthaholic and the rest of our Atlanta fans. World Series champs! Best, Geoff Thank you Geoff! I truthfully never lost faith in this team, although I did think they were in serious trouble on July 10 when Acuña got hurt. I loved getting Adam Duvall back, and then adding Joc Pederson, but I was really excited to get Jorge Soler. I was a fan of his when he came up with the Cubs and never thought that they should have traded him to Kansas City. Big win, great team, great franchise, great city. I'm a happy camper!

That's Matthew Kaminski. @bravesorganist on Twitter. He's very good and solicits ideas for walk-up songs from fans. He was in a bit of controversy the other day for playing Tom Petty's "Free Falling" when Alex Bregman came to bat, in a huge slump.
