Now that my anger has subsided and I've sunken into disappointment & depression, I can reflect with a clear head the events that have unfolded. First, I will say congrats to the Red Sox and all my Bostonian/NE peeps that reside on BP. Powerful team...powerful team. Truth be told, I knew it would be a difficult task for my beloved Dodgers to beat a 108-win team. 108 wins in arguably the most difficult division in MLB. 16 more wins than the Dodgers. That is a lot! Not only this, but Boston beat 100-win Yankees, 3 to 1; then they beat defending champ Astros at 103-wins, 4 to 1! Yes, there were a couple games the Dodgers could have won like games 2 and 4, but there are many times the Dodgers could have won games in previous years' NLCS (vs Cardinals/Phillies) and last year's WS. Which brings me to another point, that the Dodgers made it to the end 2 years in a row. Considering AL teams' strengths, to me the Giants winning in '10, '12 and '14 are even more impressive. The Giants must be laughing their asses of right now. I am sad now that the season is over. A long-ass 6 months awaits until the start of the '19 season. The whole show starts again, waiting through 162 games...an NLDS...an NLCS...and hopefully another WS. Thank you, Dodgers for an exciting season...see you in 2019...
