Check out this current Foxsports.com poll, asking, “How far will the Dodgers go?”
Pretty darn far, I’d say, if we wind up making it to the ALCS! ;)
The poll is attached to this story by Jon Paul Morosi, Like the Dodgers or not, the numbers don’t lie.
We’ve heard hosannas about the Philadelphia and St. Louis rotations. We’ve followed the wild card race closely enough to ask whether Colorado or San Francisco has the better utility infielder. (Let me guess: You prefer Omar Quintanilla to Ryan Rohlinger.)
And then there are the Dodgers, who lead the National League with 80 victories, who are in first place by six games, but whose popularity has declined steadily since June. Dismissed and disparaged, generally on account of their rotation, they are perceived by some as the fifth-sexiest entry in a postseason that has room for four.
Their popularity has declined? Fifth-sexiest? “Hey honey, how do I look?” “My darling, you will be the fifth sexiest woman at the dance!” “Wha-?”
Good to see the lofty standards of old-school sports journalism are still high.
Really, really high.
good argument here for not allowing furriners to own media in Amurka
