The Dodgers lost 3-2 to the Cardinals last night, ending their postseason run after only four games. Despite winning 94 games in the regular season, the Dodgers couldn’t move any further towards the World Series. The Cardinals defeated the Dodgers similarly 29 years ago in the 1985 postseason. This marks the 26th consecutive year that the Dodgers will not play in a World Series game.
While the Dodgers had done well in the regular season, approximately 70% of their Los Angeles fans could not watch the games on television due to a dispute between Time Warner Cable and pay-TV operators over an $8.35-billion contract. Unlike the telecom companies, however, fans and critics alike agree that the Dodgers ended their game and postseason all too quickly.
Are you upset that the Dodgers are out of the postseason? Why do you think they lost? Do you think the Dodgers have a good chance of bringing the World Series to Los Angeles next year?
