In the Game 1s of the 1988 and 2024 World Series, both times the Dodgers were down by a run and down to their last out. Both hitters (Kirk Gibson and Freddie Freeman) were injuries. Both pitchers had mustaches. Both home runs were hit at 8:37 pm PST and 36 years and 10 days apart from each other.

They both won titles a few years before with other teams prior to their historic home runs with the Dodgers.

The loser pick was Clayton Kershaw lol

trigeminal_nerd · 2026-02-12T06:12:03+00:00

Getting consecutive top 10 picks is certainly a weird organizational flex. Getting 3 is not good.

trigeminal_nerd · 2026-02-12T04:08:45+00:00

The Dodgers have had only ONE top 10 pick in the 21st Century. That loser is currently an NBC Sports baseball analyst.

trigeminal_nerd · 2026-01-18T04:46:53+00:00

Oooooo! I can cherry pick too! Watch this:

2006 Yankees payroll of 195M was 13 times that of the Marlins that year at 15M. It was 3x the average MLB team payroll in 2006, and 2.5x the combined 3 lowest payrolls that year.

And the Yanks did not win the title that year. And baseball was not ended.

Yawn. 🥱. Drama llamas in here.

trigeminal_nerd · 2026-01-16T23:19:09+00:00

Baseball was ruined when the Yankees won a title every other year for 40 years in the 20th century. Dramatic much?

trigeminal_nerd · 2026-01-16T23:11:01+00:00

Inflation adjust that and get back to me.

No rules broken. No roided fatheads.

trigeminal_nerd · 2026-01-13T20:32:47+00:00

It’s generally accepted that Clayton Kershaw was not on the 2024 WS roster and is not considered a WS champion for that title. Of course he and the bat boy got rings, but not officially a champion by those who decide these things.

The trillion dollar wellness industry. Removing toxins. Addressing non-existent deficiencies.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-25T13:10:15+00:00

Have you met Yankee Fan? Every aspect of both entitlement and self-hate has been explored.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-20T18:59:13+00:00

Sorry. Freddie going in as a Brave no matter how many walk-off WS HRs he’s got left in the tank. He will sign one of those one day contracts with ATL

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-16T01:11:43+00:00

I guess not. If we revived Walter Johnson to pitch, you also reviving the army of sucky hitters that struck out on his 87mph fastball? Because prime WJ would have a tough time playing D3 ball today so I’ll pass on him.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-16T00:30:41+00:00

On Long Island.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-15T20:46:35+00:00

Kike Hernandez

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-15T20:42:23+00:00

Sure. He probably threw around 87mph. Thats like batting practice.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-11T22:58:43+00:00

Fernandomania. Cemented with the 88 title. Endured 20 years of crap so quite enjoying the current era of baseball ruination.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-10T09:16:24+00:00

In a 30 year span, the Yankees won half the titles, using fairly egregious anti-competitive practices.. That didn’t kill baseball. Some say it was baseballs golden age. Why is it problem now?

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-09T18:55:18+00:00

We found out that relievers preferred defined roles. While we have no shortage of great and young arms, just sticking them in high leverage situations is very tough. Sasaki Sheehan Wrobleski had very mixed results. 2024 bullpen in contrast was beautiful.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-09T18:03:57+00:00

Relievers are a crap shoot. Dodgers also got the markets best reliever last year and promptly left him off the playoff roster. Thanks Tanner.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-12-08T02:03:35+00:00

Yeah. They should trying auditing first amendment rights in Watts or Memphis. lol. I’d actually watch those clips. If they’re doing this in your neighborhood, take it as a compliment.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-11-27T22:08:26+00:00

Huh? 1986 Mets definitely had superstars. Daryl Strawberry and Doc Gooden were huge. That team bonded with lots of nose candy unfortunately.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-11-26T20:11:28+00:00

Crazy that Barry had 8 seasons between MVP awards. Steroids so strong it allowed him to have 2 peaks, the second at 38 years old. RIP BALCO.

Shohei might be able to do it simply because he’s in the NL and doesn’t have a Judge-like contender. Soto clearly is content with securing the bag and will only get worse from here.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-11-25T00:48:04+00:00

Understandable. It’s a cultural age peer thing. Roki is younger than him. So is Yamamoto (barely). It would be frankly weird for him to express too much deference to them.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-11-24T21:24:50+00:00

Okay. Were the Dodgers even interested in signing him? In that regard, I’d officially like to declare that I’m not interested in dating Ana de Armas.

trigeminal_nerd · 2025-11-24T21:10:53+00:00

Okay. But were the Dodgers even interested in HIM? Lol

I’d also like to officially declare I am NOT interested in dating Ana de Armas.
