Dodgers Yes or No – Do they make it to the World Series?

Go Dodgers Go Blue

From August 26 through September 11 the Dodgers went 1 win and 16 losses, which includes 11 losses in a row. This is the longest losing streak for the franchise since 1944 when they were the Brooklyn Dodgers.

The Dodgers went from going 56 wins and only 11 losses in early June to late August without losing a series, this was just as remarkable as the losing streak that followed.

What is it with a team that can go from ‘winning’ to ‘losing’ from each one day to the next? Have to ask ‘is it because of injuries or is it because the spirit of the team went crashing down. Several of these losing games the Dodgers actually had the lead, just to have Dave Roberts pull the pitcher and put in Pedro Baez, which would blow the lead and the game not once or twice but several times and it wasn’t just Baez but several other pitchers that have proven themselves NOT be able to get the job done.

This after the young players were doing everything they could to win which included running into back wall and taking flying leap to catch fly balls hit while Baez was pitching. All that extra effort being put out by each team member for naught, did it get to them, and did it bring down their team spirit? Who knows? One thing is for sure, once they starting the downward spiral it took everything they had to break the losing streak.

I don’t know about you and the sports analysts, but when the manager starts putting in players that he is testing and is willing to give up a game because of it, I’m thinking isn’t that like putting the horse before the cart. You should actually win the division before you start messing with the line-up.

No team has ever won the World Series after a regular season that included an 11 game losing streak.

Dodgers still have the best record in the majors with a hearty 104-58 at the end of the regular season and taking their division. Dodgers fan should be happy but don’t start the celebration yet. The Dodgers have been here 4 years previous to this and got bounced out of the playoffs in the first round. Hopefully this year will be different. The Dodgers have all the pieces and even a few extra, and then just need to pull it all together.

However, The Dodgers have not only won their division, but will also have ‘home field’ advantage though-out the playoff and the World Series, they just need to get there. It won’t be easy. They first have to beat the winner of the ‘wild card’ game between the Arizona D-backs and the Colorado Rockies. Two teams that have given the Dodgers a whole lot of trouble this past year.

Even if they manager to win that round of playoffs, it doesn’t get any easier. They will have to play the winner of the matchup between the Chicago Cubs and the Washington Nationals.

If the Dodgers can get though all of the above, then and only then will they actually make it to the ‘World Series’.

I will be holding my breath for most of October along with all the rest of us Dodger fans as our team slowly makes they way to the World Series.

Go Dodgers Go Blue !
