Losing back to back WS and watching the manager mismanage the game and talent into an NLDS exit in the following year?I think a lot of fans of actual middling teams would gladly take your misfortune.
They traded for Manny Machado and Yu Darvish in back to back deadlines and suddenly they aren't willing to part with prospects or make moves? Its a silly narrative. Every team looks bad in hindsight.

Yes, Ninja Scooter, i am sure Texas Rangers fans were the envy of everyone when they lost B2B World Series titles. 🙄🙄🙄
FOH.
No one would "glady" take seeing that shit happen to their team.
As a historically bandwagon Padres fan, we'll take Dave Roberts off your hands. Come back south DR!
Tatis and Machado ftw 2021.
We have 1 true ace in Buehler. Remember when we traded Grienke and kept and overpaid Kershaw?
No fan in their right mind would trade expected mediocrity for heartbreaking failure on the biggest stage, two years in a fucking row.Fans of actual middling teams, teams like the Mariners or Orioles or Reds that lately are shit more often than they aren't, would gladly take being in the playoffs every year and making the world series twice in a row, yes. I don't think I'm the one with the outlandish take here.
I had a better postseason than Kersh.
I may not have the answers BUT this " Eh it is what it is" thing you're doing doesn't fly. Not when the same failures keep coming. Not after 3 decades , in LA, with all that $$ spent. Something needs to change because the NL West may be a walk every year but the rest of the league has more than caught up with them

As i said, FOH with that bullshit.
I hear Mike Matheny is available
You said they would trade positions with us, including the heartache we have endured. When the Dodgers were not playing in and losing WS, i wasn't envious of the Texas Rangers getting there twice and failing.Making the playoffs, and making the world series, means you have a chance at a title. Yes, Im saying most fanbases, the ones that aren't idiots, would take that over consistent mediocrity. That's not bullshit, it's just not overly reactionary angsty hyperbole.

And your feeble attempts at being reductive are clown shoes.
Dodger fans have a right to say we have seen enough from Roberts the same way we had seen enough from Del Harris.
Too much talent to be wasting it on bad managers.
That may be true but if the Dodgers aren't looking, then they are gonna continue to win the NL West and a bunch of ultimately meaningless games in the regular season and fizzle out in the playoffs.But to your Del Harris analogy, I also don't necessarily think there's a Phil Jackson waiting in the wings who can take the pieces here and all of a sudden turn them into a guaranteed champion and take that next step that Roberts couldn't.

I'm glad that more than ever many "prominent" LA sports landscape voices ( that aren't sycophants for precious locker room access) on Twitter and elsewhere are finally tired of this shit too.
TBF, no one was beating that Baaaw-ston team from last year but yes, we were 2 Yu Darvish tipped pitches games from winning the series in 2017.I think that I'm just about done with the Dodgers. I can't take it any longer. Stupid, pathetic team!
They had a chance to win the World Series Championship twice, & have blown it. They couldn't even get past the NLDS this year. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.
Try rooting for an actual bad (or non-existent) team for 45 years.You said they would trade positions with us, including the heartache we have endured. When the Dodgers were not playing in and losing WS, i wasn't envious of the Texas Rangers getting there twice and failing.

As a Long life #Dodgers fan, born and raised in L.A - this franchise is a fraud man.
Ive been told all my life that this team is a historic franchise. Never doubted it. But I'm 30 years old now. They've never won a world series in my life time. I could care less about the old players and its history. There basiclaly the clippers in my eyes.
There the first or second most popular team in Los Angeles and that makes fans come up with excuses for them, about why they cant win it all. The manager is always the fall guy, his fault or not. But enough. They collectively come short year after year after year. What L.A team star player has ever been glorified but choked when it comes the most like Kershaw? None.
I'm laughing and crying at the same time. Done with them.
Good thing Baseball is only like my 5th favorite sport. #GoLAkers!!
Yeah, when was the last time that the Dodgers have won a World Series Championship? 1988! I was only 6 years old back then.
You say that as someone that doesn't know the outcomes yet.Try rooting for an actual bad (or non-existent) team for 45 years.
As a Nats fan, fuck all the way off with this bullshit.
As a DC Sports, fan, I don't want to hear it. The Lakers have more titles in the last 15 years alone than our city in the last 100.You say that as someone that doesn't know the outcomes yet.
Had you had to watch your Nats get to and lose the series two straight years and then have, say, Strasburg meltdown in the following year and shit the game away (after winning 106 games) you would be over the moon, right?
You'd feel inspired, right?
Fuck all the way off with THAT bullshit.
Right? I wouldn't wish it on anyone.Preferring to be the Mets instead of a team that has a chance to win a title year after year is certainly a take
AGAIN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, I would rather know my team wasn't doing anything and avoid the heartache i actually experienced the last two years.Preferring to be the Mets instead of a team that has a chance to win a title year after year is certainly a take
So you avoid my question cause you know gotdamn well you wouldn't want to experience that shit.As a DC Sports, fan, I don't want to hear it. The Lakers have more titles in the last 15 years alone than our city in the last 100.
I very much enjoyed the Subway SeriesAGAIN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, I would rather know my team wasn't doing anything and avoid the heartache i actually experienced the last two years.
Did you enjoy getting to the series and losing a few years ago, Mets fan?
How about when you lost to the Yanks in the Subway Series?
Ok so you are a Yanks fan.
This is what it actually says when you search "Clayton Kershaw" on Google:
Uncalled for. dude is an all-time-great. Baseball is a chaotic game by its very nature.
Yeah, no.I'm totally down for the Dodgers embracing mediocrity though. We'll gladly take Walker Buehler off your hands. That should help with that.
Making the playoffs isn't the issue for the Dodgers, henhowc .lol. Some of you melting down in here. Makes no sense. You gotta make the playoffs to win the playoffs.
Would you seriously want to be what the Lakers have been?
