but your team was there in 2005. we haven't even been there since 1988 when I was in 8th grade. the dodgers went through since then 2 horrible ownerships that didn't care to win. the Fox bought us from O'Malleys to gain a nationwide sports cable channels established, then traded our heart and soul away to do it. McCourts were dirtbags who used us as their personal ATM machine while firing our entire international scouting department, downsizing our domestic scouting to a point of having 1 scout per dozen states, signing players on deferred contracts, and still to this day owns a piece of the parking lot our current owners pay 14 million a year to that POS for the next century. we finally have the right ownership. we finally have the right FO. we finally have the players to make it happen. this is our year. I wanted the Yankees to be our sacrificial lamb. then you guys beat the yankees. I am pissed. but not at you guys, but to those damn Yankees for losing.
Yea it's all good man, I get where you're coming from. If I were a Dodger fan, beating the crap out of the Yankees would be my dream as well given the history between those teams.
I wouldn't say we're not a baseball town though. Obviously football is king here in Texas, but this city absolutely loves their Astros, and seeing them where they are now after multiple 100 loss seasons is awesome. Going through the Sawx and the Yanks to get to the WS is such a great feeling, even more so than 2005 for me. Watching them do it here at home with everything we've been through recently was just beautiful.
It should be a really good series, whatever happens.
I still remember watching that Oakland/LA series as a kid, and I hope the result will be different for us than it was for the A's. Hell, I hope we don't get swept this time. As much as I loved the Biggio/Bagwell/Berkman era, this team is so much more fun to watch.
Too bad Oswalt can't suit up and throw a game for us.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.
