As a star player for the 1988 Lakers and a current minority owner of the Dodgers, Magic Johnson should see the parallels between the two teams. The 1988 Lakers won the final two games of their seven-game championship series against the Detroit Pistons for a total of four points to become the first repeat NBA champions in 19 years. Likewise, if the Dodgers beat the Blue Jays in Game 7—after by a small margin in game six — they will become the first back-to-back MLB champions in 25 years.

Magic Monday Marathon World Series Game 3 speaks to the heart and soul of the champion the Dodgers will undoubtedly become again. Almost 7 o'clock? No problem. Record 18 innings? No problem. Another much-needed home run from “always the hero” Freddie Freeman? No problem. The parade through the streets of Downtown Los Angeles will be epic!

I can't fault the strategic wisdom of Blue Jays manager John Schneider's decision to intentionally force Shohei Ohtani out of the Dodgers. four times in a row during Game 3 of the World Series. But does this strategy serve baseball's best interests?
Fans pay to see teams pit their best players against their best opponents. Not participating in this competition takes away from the drama and prevents fans from seeing top performers in action.

Come on, Dave Roberts, are you ready to win? If so, please stop sending Blake Treinen to hand out wounds. He's useless and Anthony Banda isn't far behind. Of course, after all this time you should get it. We do, why not?

Well, it looks like Dave Roberts and Andrew Friedman, who played Michael Conforto all season, are back to bite the Dodgers. They failed to give Hyesung Kim enough playing time to trust him in the playoffs. So they are stuck without a good number 9 striker.
