2021 Dodgers are the best team to never make the World Series. They spent, what, 270 million? Absolutely star studded group that withstood a bunch of injuries that would devastate any other team?

Just...wow, can't believe they didn't make it.

I mean, I would argue that they did not, in fact, withstand a bunch of injuries, as evidenced by their season being over.

lol that the 106 win team and the 107 win team didn't make it to the world series over an 88 win atlanta scrub team.

They tired themselves out all year long winning baseball games, lol.

too dumb to be probated; not too dumb to be autobanned
I have it on good authority that actually Turner's long fly out would have been a home run anywhere else so this is a fraudulent series win

genuinely think it was the division race that did it even more than the division series. just burned through so much when honestly a lot of those wins didn't even matter, seeding-wise

BITCH



I am obligated as a Braves fan in Texas to at least try to go to one game in this series but Houston fans are lowsy with cash and I doubt tickets are gonna be within my price range

Doesn't help that Houston is Atlanta's playoff kryptonite and has been since before they moved to the AL

that was true in the 90s and early 00s but it really flipped around after that, around the whole 18 inning game thing

I'm glad this won't be in the Astrodome, because in my nightmares its just a 1-9 of Derek Bells hitting stinging liners into shallow left that tailed into the corners over and over and over again.
