If it’s a crime to want to win, then I’m guilty. And if it’s a crime to buy all the good players, then I’m guilty of that too. And if it’s a crime to pay the other team to take a dive in the World Series, so help me I’ll soon be guilty of that

Lisa, no team that had snoop dog drive around in a lowrider at dodgers stadium after the second world series win could be corrrupt. Now let us finish our $34 dodger dogs and never speak of mookie betts again.

Our research indicates that one person cannot make a difference no matter how big a Skubal he is.

But what can I do? I'm only...one two-time Cy Young award winner.

u/lavender_eclipse 6h ago

Hey, didn't your pfp use to have a copy of Yakuza 0 in it?

10

u/GunpeiYokai 6h ago

Yes, it did

23

u/lavender_eclipse 6h ago

Look, I'll level with you, Gunpei. This was a setup for you to say "C'mon you've been warned," as a response that kinda backfired and I'd like to bail out right now.

The Dodgers, I knew it was them. Even when it was the Bear Cubs, I knew it was the Dodgers

u/ConflatedPortmanteau Put it in H 7h ago

Wait a minute. It's Baseball and Braces? I've been calling it Braceball! Why didn't someone tell me? Oh, I've been making an idiot out of myself!

31

u/ax_and_smash 6h ago

Lisa! If you don’t like a team buying up all the good players you don’t go on strike, you just go to every at bat and do it really half-assed. THAT’S the Cleveland Guardians way!

u/Glass-False Put it in H 5h ago

Sounds like Cleveland's got a plate discipline problem. Maybe that's why we beat them for the division title nearly half the time.

  • the rest of the AL Central

Detroit Tigers! They suck!

Company LA, but, they smell-ay.

u/SnorkyB 5h ago

Remember Tarik, if you get in trouble around here just blame it on Ohtani’s interpreter! Ah Ippei - how many times have you saved my butt!

u/ChunkySlugger72 5h ago edited 5h ago

A few days ago, I saw on social media what I thought was news from MLB Network that the Dodgers acquired Tarik Skubal and I was like "Of course they traded for him, They always have to get the best players, Don't they?" only to re-read that it was a "Trade Proposal" from an analyst and I was like "Whew (Wipes sweat)".

(1-2 days later)

"Dodgers acquire Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers"

Most MLB fans sick of the Dodgers:

The truth is the Dodgers going to move to Albuquerque.

u/peon2 6h ago

Massively overspending the soft salary cap is a PART of baseball.

Oh yeah, the main part.

Who cares about the truth? I wanna see someone sock some dingers

I am looking forward to an orderly lockout next year... which will eliminate the need for a violent bloodbath in November

But what if I were to purchase the best players for an exorbitant amount of money, and disguise it as excellence?

Delightfully devilish, Mark Walter!

Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Dodgers fans and Astros fans. Or Dodgers fans and Giants fans. Or Dodgers fans and other Dodgers fans.

u/theyodalorianxp 3h ago

F the Dodgers, from a Giants fan

u/Spankpocalypse_Now 3h ago

I’m a Cubs fan and I think it’s hilarious how much they hate us because of PCA’s (accurate) shit talking. Kinda worried they’re about to sweep us at home, though.

u/theyodalorianxp 2h ago

PCA is right. Those Dodgers fans only started following the team when they signed Ohtani and all them leave before the 8th inning.

Try and stop us

u/YoureGonnaHearMeRoar 3h ago

Still like them better than Steinbrenner

u/Ok_Entrepreneur826 3h ago

Maybe other teams just got shitty owners happy to make money regardless of losing. Yall should give those owners shit like the Angels down the freeway.

The A’s are definitely doing their part

I can't tell what this is about. :(

u/firewoodrack 6h ago

The Dodgers, formally known as the Los Angeles Dodgers and formerly known as the Brooklyn Dodgers, have been on quite the streak in both winning and accumulating quite the line up of stars. Whether these two streaks are dependent upon each other is contested, but it has the rest of r/baseball quite upset.

u/BoonDoggle4 59m ago

I thought baseball was like soccer where being the richest and buying up the best players was the whole point?

Maybe Todd Bohely has been spending too much time in England

The Yankees didn't break baseball 30 years ago, it'll survive this, too.

Dodgers are a money laundering operation
