What a week in sports. USC defeats Michigan, a Dodger pitching a complete game for the first time in the postseason since 2004 and sweeping the Brewers to go to the World Series for the second straight year after going 0-6 against Milwaukee during the regular season. Maybe Michael Conforto will be added to the roster and win World Series MVP.

While sleepwalking through the first three games of the NLCS, Shohei Ohtani is saving his best for last. He went “Hollywood” and delivered the greatest single performance in MLB history as he brought down the final curtain on the Milwaukee Brewers and extended the Dodgers’ magical run to repeat as World Series champions.
Stay tuned for the sequel!

In the history of Major League Baseball, has there ever been a player like Shohei Ohtani? i don’t think so. Shohei is the best ever. He said enough.

Now that the Dodgers have easily made it back to the World Series, it’s pretty clear that the $400 million has already been paid. He does Buy what he used to!

Finally, the second coming of the Dodgers occurred. We’ve been waiting for it and hoping for it, and now it’s here. Great offense, great defense and great shooting. Our new anthem should be “All the Way to L.A., All the Way.”

Statistically, there’s a case to be made for comparing Sandy Koufax and Blake Snell’s postseason accomplishments. Historically there is no comparison.
Kovacs is a legendary dribbler who continued to play until he was no longer physically able to do so. Famously, Snell refused to take the ball in his last start with the Giants to save himself for a financial windfall in free agency.

Stop the printing presses! The world is still spinning on its axis! Holy Toledo, Dave Roberts finally discovered that a pitcher’s arm doesn’t fall off after 100 pitches. It’s unfortunate he didn’t make that revelation during Blake Snell’s Game 1 performance, but better late than never as the saying goes.
