Last year, it was the San Diego Padres. This year it was the Arizona Diamondbacks who sent the Los Angeles Dodgers packing just as they stepped into the postseason. And in 17 years, this is the first time that the Dodgers didn’t win a single postseason game. Zilch. Nada.
And social media came in clutch with the memes.
Dodgers’ fans when their hitters just couldn't hit Diamondbacks pitchers:
Thank you Dodgers I can't put up with these playoff meltdowns. You made me break my TV #Dodgers pic.twitter.com/ZmEmNhnkNT

Some Dodgers fans were left wondering, what’s the point of a regular season?
