Should be a great postseason...as long as the Dodgers don't win it all.

Just shut up, hammer. I hate your stupid fucking guts right now. I'm gonna go find all your old stupid ass posts from the beginning of the season where you were jerking off to how fantastical the Padres were going to be and just laugh through my salty tears.

And you'd have every right. Monday night I watched Chris Denorfia with his walkoff at the Friendly Confines being mobbed by teammates and adored by fans. HE is the kind of player I miss on the Padres. I'll take Kevin Towers back in a fuckin second and appreciate being competitive every year and even winning the division every now and then with a paltry payroll than this bullshit with the fool with the hair.

That said, the Giants are done and it's glorious.

I wonder how many Dodgers fans met a violent end in the China Basin last night? May God have mercy on all the souls brave enough to wear blue in that house of violence known as AT&T park.

Hats off to the Giants for making it interesting. I expected them to be an utter disaster this year, so kudos for keeping it close this summer. Good luck with the #EvenYear in 2016.

:suds:
Thanks Villain. As much as it pains me to say, congrats on winning the West.

I cant say I wish you luck, but you understand that.

ABtD!!!

You took Matt Kemp off our hands, that's good enough.

Kemp has actually played better than I thought he would. I just don't like what Preller did in the offseason overall. He made so many trades it was overkill. At the end of the day they still stink. They just have a longer way to go because he depleted the farm system quite a bit. I don't trust Preller to improve the team either.

Kemp was about as good as he could've been. He was really put in a postion to fail in San Diego. His defense would look extra horrible, his power would be sapped, and the team just did not have a well-constructed roster in general. No true centerfielder. San Diego was pretty much the worst place for him to go, save for maybe Miami - but he probably would've had more fun down there with Gordon on his team.

I hope for Kemp's sake that he gets moved again this offseason to a team that's a better fit for him - an AL team would be best so that he could rest his brittle bones as a DH here and there. The Angels come to mind.

Giants had to remind their fans to #respecttherivalry instead of going on murderous killing sprees.

The Dodgers' magic number for home field advantage is 7, by the way. Doesn't really matter much to me.

At Dodger either get out really early, get in line and wait to get in line to get in line to get on the Hollywood Freeway or relax and take your time getting to the car.

Leaving Lakers games is 1000x better (depending on where you park). I always take my time leaving there and maybe even stop and get one more cold one at the restaurant before getting in the car (sober, of course).

Leaving Chargers games is hell too. You sit in the parking lot forever.
I flew out to L.A. once to go to a USC game at the Coliseum. On that same Saturday was a Dodger playoff game and a big concert at the Staples center. What f'ing chaos. Why, why, why do you folks live there??????

I'm going to move. I can't stand going to downtown LA.

Luckily for me, I have ways to get in and out of Dodger Stadium without much incident. For me, all that stuff by Staples and the Coliseum wouldn't affect me at all. Also, the Coliseum is a dump and there is no convenient way to get there. I don't like going down there at all.

Staples is also a royal pain. And it's just not a very enjoyable venue, in my opinion. Even the "close" seats don't really feel very close to the action. Sitting in the luxury boxes feels like another you're in another county.
